    (602) After replacing a bleed air system air-conditioning airflow regulator fusible plug, you must also reset the

    • Lockout butterfly.

    • Pneumatic switch.

    • Pneumatic thermostat.

    • Breakaway plug assembly.

    Correct Answer
    A. Pneumatic switch.
    Explanation
    After replacing a bleed air system air-conditioning airflow regulator fusible plug, you must also reset the pneumatic switch. This is because the fusible plug is designed to melt at a specific temperature to prevent excessive pressure build-up in the system. When the fusible plug melts, it triggers the pneumatic switch to shut off the airflow. Therefore, after replacing the fusible plug, the pneumatic switch needs to be reset to restore the airflow and ensure proper functioning of the air-conditioning system.

    (602) The downstream air temperature of the bleed air air-conditioning system has exceeded the predetermined temperature and has caused the butterfly to close. What flow control and shutoff switch now opens?

    • Fusible.

    • Thermal.

    • Pneumatic.

    • Breakaway.

    Correct Answer
    A. Thermal.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Thermal." In this scenario, the downstream air temperature of the bleed air air-conditioning system has exceeded the predetermined temperature, causing the butterfly to close. To address this issue, a flow control and shutoff switch that is specifically designed to respond to temperature changes is needed. A thermal switch is capable of opening when the temperature reaches a certain threshold, allowing for proper flow control and shutoff in this situation.

    (603) What type of high-pressure/high-temperature flange ducting does not require a gasket?

    • Clamp.

    • Bolted.

    • Beaded.

    • Compressible.

    Correct Answer
    A. Compressible.
    Explanation
    A compressible high-pressure/high-temperature flange ducting does not require a gasket because it is designed to create a tight seal by compressing the flange material itself. This type of ducting is able to withstand high pressures and temperatures without the need for an additional gasket, making it a more efficient and cost-effective option. The compressible nature of the flange allows it to conform to the mating surface, ensuring a secure and leak-free connection.

    (604) The hand survey air-leakage test method is performed on the aircraft bleed air distribution system after

    • Resetting the lockout butterfly.

    • Replacing any couplings or valves.

    • Troubleshooting the system malfunctions.

    • Inspecting the bleed air system and operational check.

    Correct Answer
    A. Replacing any couplings or valves.
    Explanation
    The hand survey air-leakage test method is performed on the aircraft bleed air distribution system after replacing any couplings or valves. This is because replacing couplings or valves can potentially introduce air leaks into the system. The hand survey air-leakage test is conducted to ensure that there are no leaks in the system that could affect its performance and safety. By performing the test after replacing couplings or valves, any potential leaks can be identified and addressed before the system is put back into operation.

    (610) On a cargo aircraft, the function of the floor heat system’s pneumatic anticipator is to

    • Control the floor heat shutoff valve.

    • Respond to rapid temperature changes.

    • Respond to gradual temperature changes.

    • Send a signal to the control box amplifier section.

    Correct Answer
    A. Respond to rapid temperature changes.
    Explanation
    The function of the floor heat system's pneumatic anticipator on a cargo aircraft is to respond to rapid temperature changes. This means that when there is a sudden increase or decrease in temperature, the pneumatic anticipator will adjust the floor heat system accordingly. It ensures that the floor heat shutoff valve is controlled effectively in response to these rapid temperature changes, maintaining the desired temperature inside the aircraft.

    (617) For aircraft pressurization systems to operate properly, you should note that as the aircraft pressurizes, the outflow safety valve opens at the same time once the

    • Poppet valve opens.

    • Pneumatic relay opens

    • Rate control system closes

    • Cabin pressure controller closes

    Correct Answer
    A. Pneumatic relay opens
    Explanation
    When the aircraft pressurizes, the outflow safety valve opens to release excess pressure. At the same time, the pneumatic relay opens, allowing the pressurized air to flow into the cabin. This ensures that the pressurization system operates properly by maintaining the desired cabin pressure. The rate control system closing or the cabin pressure controller closing are not related to the opening of the outflow safety valve and the functioning of the pressurization system.

    • Pressure limiter.

    • System shutoff valve.

    • Air pressure regulator and shutoff valve.

    Correct Answer
    A. Air pressure regulator and shutoff valve.
    Explanation
    The air pressure regulator and shutoff valve is installed upstream of the flow control valve to control the valve's inlet pressure. This component regulates the pressure of the bleed air before it enters the flow control valve, ensuring that the valve receives the appropriate pressure for its operation. Additionally, the shutoff valve allows for the complete closure of the bleed air system when needed.

    (611) Where does the air go in an air-conditioning system after the cooling turbine has cooled it?

    • Air scoop.

    • Control cabin.

    • Water separator.

    • Secondary heat exchanger.

    Correct Answer
    A. Water separator.
    Explanation
    After the cooling turbine in an air-conditioning system cools the air, the air goes to the water separator. The water separator is responsible for removing any moisture or water vapor that may have condensed during the cooling process. This ensures that the air that is circulated back into the system is dry and does not cause any issues or damage to the system.

    (615) A portion of the bleed air used for wing anti-icing is dumped overboard and the remaining air

    • Controls the modulating valve.

    • Returns to the jet pump as re-circulating air.

    • Becomes a reference temperature for the thermostat.

    • Assists the ejector nozzles in drawing air across the heat exchanger.

    Correct Answer
    A. Returns to the jet pump as re-circulating air.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "returns to the jet pump as re-circulating air." In wing anti-icing systems, a portion of the bleed air is used to de-ice the wings, while the remaining air is recirculated back to the jet pump. This recirculating air helps maintain the necessary pressure and flow rate in the system. By returning the air to the jet pump, it can be used again for anti-icing purposes, making the system more efficient.
