  Displacement may be the same in two completely differnt problems
Correct Answer
D. Displacement may be the same in two completely differnt problems

Explanation
It is necessary to measure all parameters to identify a vibration source because displacement alone may not provide enough information to determine the cause of the vibration. Displacement refers to the distance an object moves from its equilibrium position, and it can be the same in two different problems even if the underlying causes of the vibrations are different. By measuring all parameters such as frequency, amplitude, and phase, it becomes possible to analyze the complete vibration profile and accurately identify the source of the vibration.

- D.
  
  Manual and mechanical
Correct Answer
C. Manual and electronic

Explanation
Trim refers to the adjustment of engine systems to achieve optimal performance within the limits specified in the technical order (TO). There are two methods commonly used to trim an engine: manual and electronic. The manual method involves physically adjusting certain components or settings in the engine, while the electronic method utilizes electronic controls and sensors to make adjustments automatically. Both methods are employed to ensure that the engine operates at its best performance levels while adhering to the specified limits.

The pressure gauges used for an oil system pressure checks are connected at the
- A.
  
  Inlet side of the oil pump and the vent system
- B.
  
  Output side of the main oil pump and the vent system
- C.
  
  Scavenge pump and the inlet side of oil pressure pump
- D.
  
  Bearing jets and the output side of the oil scavenge pump
Correct Answer
B. Output side of the main oil pump and the vent system

Explanation
The correct answer is the "output side of the main oil pump and the vent system." This is because the pressure gauges are used to measure the pressure after the oil has been pumped by the main oil pump. Additionally, the vent system is connected to ensure any excess pressure is released properly. Connecting the gauges at this location allows for accurate monitoring of the oil system pressure.

When checking the turbine section, you do not measure
- A.
  
  Fan turbine inlet teperature (FTIT)
- B.
  
  Turbine inlet temperature(TIT)
- C.
  
  Exhaust gas temperature (EGT)
- D.
  
  Intake gas temperture (IGT)
Correct Answer
D. Intake gas temperture (IGT)

Explanation
When checking the turbine section, you do not measure the intake gas temperature (IGT). The turbine section is responsible for converting the energy from the exhaust gases into mechanical energy to drive the compressor and other components. The temperature measurements that are typically taken in the turbine section include the fan turbine inlet temperature (FTIT), turbine inlet temperature (TIT), and exhaust gas temperature (EGT). These measurements help monitor the performance and efficiency of the turbine section and ensure that it is operating within safe limits. However, the intake gas temperature (IGT) is not typically measured in this section.

Which F-16 operational check allows you to start the jet fuel satrty (JFS) without advancing the throttle to idle or supplying fuel to the aircraft engine?
- A.
  
  Dry motoring
- B.
  
  Wet motoring
- C.
  
  Bleed schedule
- D.
  
  Interface operational
Correct Answer
A. Dry motoring

Explanation
Dry motoring is the correct answer because it is an F-16 operational check that allows the jet fuel start (JFS) to be started without advancing the throttle to idle or supplying fuel to the aircraft engine. Dry motoring is a procedure where the JFS is started and run for a short period of time to ensure its proper functioning before starting the actual engine. It does not involve the use of fuel or the need to advance the throttle to idle position.

Prior to starting the engine when doinga n anti-ice valve operational check on an F-16C/D, place the anti-ice engine switch to
- A.
  
  ON
- B.
  
  OFF
- C.
  
  START
- D.
  
  MANUAL
Correct Answer
D. MANUAL

Explanation
Prior to starting the engine, when performing an anti-ice valve operational check on an F-16C/D, the correct position for the anti-ice engine switch is "MANUAL". This means that the pilot needs to manually control the anti-ice system during the check. The other options, such as "ON", "OFF", and "START", are not suitable for this specific operation.

How many primary air silencers are there on aircraft noise suppressors to help reduce turbine whine?
- A.
  
  Two
- B.
  
  Four
- C.
  
  Six
- D.
  
  Eight
Correct Answer
A. Two

Explanation
There are two primary air silencers on aircraft noise suppressors to help reduce turbine whine.

Where are the primary silencers positioned on an aircraft noise suppressor?
- A.
  
  Near the bleed area
- B.
  
  To the rear exhaust area
- C.
  
  Against the aircraft fuselage
- D.
  
  Forward of the bleed exhaust area
Correct Answer
C. Against the aircraft fuselage

Explanation
The primary silencers on an aircraft noise suppressor are positioned against the aircraft fuselage. This placement allows them to effectively reduce noise by absorbing and dissipating sound waves before they reach the surrounding environment. By positioning the silencers against the fuselage, they can efficiently capture and minimize the noise generated by the aircraft engines, contributing to a quieter flying experience for passengers and reducing noise pollution on the ground.

To how many minutes should engine operation in afterburner to be limited when the engine is operated in the aircraft noise suppressor?
- A.
  
  2
- B.
  
  3
- C.
  
  4
- D.
  
  5
Correct Answer
D. 5

Explanation
The correct answer is 5. This suggests that the engine operation in afterburner should be limited to 5 minutes when the engine is operated in the aircraft noise suppressor. This limitation is likely implemented to reduce the overall noise generated by the aircraft during operation. By limiting the afterburner operation, the noise levels can be controlled and minimized, ensuring compliance with noise regulations and reducing the impact on surrounding areas.

The hush house exhaust deflector is constructed of
- A.
  
  Flexible soft metal filled with noise reduction material
- B.
  
  Cylinder type tubing filled with noise reduction material
- C.
  
  Panels and air cooling ports filled withnoise reduction material
- D.
  
  Small panel modules filled withnoise reduction material
Correct Answer
D. Small panel modules filled withnoise reduction material

Explanation
The hush house exhaust deflector is constructed of small panel modules filled with noise reduction material. This means that the exhaust deflector is made up of multiple small panels that are filled with a material designed to reduce noise. This construction allows for effective noise reduction while also providing flexibility and ease of installation.

Before moving an aircraft into the hush house, you must inspect the aircraft
- A.
  
  Red streamers
- B.
  
  And its forms
- C.
  
  Flight station
- D.
  
  Forms
Correct Answer
B. And its forms

Explanation
Before moving an aircraft into the hush house, it is necessary to inspect the aircraft and its forms. This means that not only should the physical condition of the aircraft be checked, but also any required documentation or paperwork related to the aircraft should be reviewed. This ensures that the aircraft is in proper working order and all necessary paperwork is in order before it is moved into the hush house.
