Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    When the APU MASTER SW is selected ON :

    • A.

      The APU computer automatically starts the APU.

    • B.

      The APU computer automatically completes a self test , opens the air intake flap and suplies fuel pressure .

    • C.

      Connects the APU generator to the aircraft electrical system .

    Correct Answer
    B. The APU computer automatically completes a self test , opens the air intake flap and suplies fuel pressure .
    Explanation
    When the APU MASTER SW is selected ON, the APU computer automatically starts the APU and completes a self-test. It also opens the air intake flap and supplies fuel pressure. Additionally, it connects the APU generator to the aircraft electrical system.

    Rate this question:

  • 2. 

    The APU START push button , when selected on , will :

    • A.

      Connected the APU generator to the aircraft electrical system.

    • B.

      Open the air intake flap and supply fuel pressure.

    • C.

      Start the APU if the APU MASTER SW was previously selected on.

    Correct Answer
    C. Start the APU if the APU MASTER SW was previously selected on.
    Explanation
    When the APU START push button is selected, it will start the APU if the APU MASTER SW (switch) was previously selected on. This means that the APU can only be started if the APU MASTER switch is in the on position. The APU START push button does not directly connect the APU generator to the aircraft electrical system or open the air intake flap and supply fuel pressure. It is solely responsible for starting the APU if the APU MASTER switch is already on.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    What is the function of the APU GEN push button located on the overhead electrical panel ?

    • A.

      When selected OFF ,the APU generator is de_ energized .

    • C.

      Both A and B are correct.

    Correct Answer
    C. Both A and B are correct.
    Explanation
    The APU GEN push button on the overhead electrical panel is used to control the APU generator. When selected OFF, it de-energizes the APU generator. It is normally left in the lights out position, indicating that it is not in use. Both statements A and B are correct, as they provide accurate information about the function of the APU GEN push button.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    The APU MASTER SW light will illuminate :

    • A.

      When the APU low oil pressure is detected.

    • B.

      When an automatic shutdown of the APU occurs .

    • C.

      If the batteries are selected OFF while the APU is operating .

    Correct Answer
    B. When an automatic shutdown of the APU occurs .
    Explanation
    The APU MASTER SW light will illuminate when an automatic shutdown of the APU occurs. This means that if there is a situation where the APU needs to be shut down automatically, such as due to a malfunction or safety concern, the APU MASTER SW light will turn on to indicate this. It serves as a warning to the pilot or operator that the APU has been shut down automatically and needs attention or further investigation.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    To start the APU the :

    • A.

      BAT 1 and 2 push buttons must be selected ON.

    • B.

      BAT 1 and 2 push buttons do not need to be selected ON if external power is available 

    • C.

      Both A and B are correct.

    Correct Answer
    A. BAT 1 and 2 push buttons must be selected ON.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that the BAT 1 and 2 push buttons must be selected ON in order to start the APU. This means that the batteries need to be turned on to provide power for the APU startup process. The presence or availability of external power does not eliminate the need to turn on the batteries. Both options A and B are not correct because only option A is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    With the engines off , if the AVAIL light is illuminated on both , the APU START push button and the EXT PWR push button , what is the source of electrical power for the aircraft busses ?

      The APU can be started up to 30,000 feet using only the aircraft batteries.

    Correct Answer
    A. The APU can be started at any altitude using normal aircraft power .
    Explanation
    The correct answer is that the APU can be started at any altitude using normal aircraft power. This means that regardless of the altitude the aircraft is at, the APU can be started up using the regular power source of the aircraft. There is no restriction on the altitude for starting the APU as long as the normal aircraft power is available.

    What will depressing the guarded MASK MAN ON pb accomplish ?

    • A.

      A signal is sent to the chemical oxygen generators to start the flow of oxygen to the mask

    • B.

      It manually sends a signal to open the oxigen mask doors.

    • C.

      Both A and B are correct.

    Correct Answer
    B. It manually sends a signal to open the oxigen mask doors.
    Explanation
    Depressing the guarded MASK MAN ON pb will manually send a signal to open the oxygen mask doors. This means that by pressing the button, the person is initiating the process of opening the doors of the oxygen mask, allowing the flow of oxygen to start. This action is done manually and does not involve any automatic signal sent to the chemical oxygen generators. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

    Rate this question:

  • 21.

      When the oxygen doors open .

    • C.

      When cabin altitude exceeds 14,000 feet .

    Correct Answer
    A. When the mask is pulled toward the seat .
    Explanation
    The passenger oxygen flow starts when the mask is pulled toward the seat. This action triggers the release of oxygen from the oxygen supply system, allowing passengers to breathe in case of an emergency or a decrease in cabin pressure.

    Rate this question:

  • 23.
