AVT 263
MIDTERM EXAM
STUDY GUIDE
Fall 2018
With respect to the certification of aircraft, which is a category of aircraft?
Normal, utility, acrobatic
With respect to the certification of aircraft, which is a class of aircraft?
Airplane, rotorcraft, glider, balloon
How soon after the conviction of driving while intoxicated by alcohol or drugs shall it be reported to the
FAA, Civil Aviation Security Division?
No later than 60 days after the motor vehicle action
Where may an aircraft's operating limitations be found?
In the current, FAA-approved flight manual, approved manual material, markings, and placards, or any
combination thereof.
To minimize the side loads placed on the landing gear during touchdown, the pilot should keep the
longitudinal axis of the aircraft parallel to the direction of its motion.
Where may an aircraft/s operating limitations be found if the aircraft has an Experimental or Special
light-sport airworthiness certificate?
Attached to the Airworthiness Certificate
Excessively high engine temperatures will
cause loss of power, excessive oil consumption, and possible permanent internal engine damage.
If the engine oil temperature and cylinder head temperature gauges have exceeded their normal
operating range, the pilot may have been operating with
too much power and with the mixture set too lean.
One purpose of the dual ignition system on an aircraft engine is to provide for
improved engine performance
On aircraft equipped with fuel pumps, when is the auxiliary electric driven pump used?

In the event engine-driven fuel pump fails.
The operating principle of float-type carburetors is based on the
difference in air pressure at the venturi throat and the air inlet
The basic purpose of adjusting the fuel/air mixture at altitude is to
decrease the duel flow in order to compensate for decreased air density
During the run-up at a high-elevation airport, a pilot notes a slight engine roughness that is not affected
by the magneto check but grows worse during the carburetor heat check. Under these circumstances,
what would be the most logical initial action
Check the results obtained with a leaner setting of the mixture
While cruising at 9,500 feet MSL, the fuel/air mixture is properly adjusted. What will occur if a descent
to 4,500 feet MSL is made without readjusting the mixture?
The fuel/air mixture may become excessively lean.
Which condition is most favorable to the development of carburetor icing?
Temperature between 20 and 70 F and high humidity.
The possibility of carburetor icing exists even when the ambient air temperature is as
high as 70 F and the relative humidity is high
If an aircraft is equipped with a fixed-pitch propeller and a float-type carburetor, the first indication of
carburetor ice would most likely be
loss of RPM
Applying carburetor heat will
enrich the fuel/air mixture
What change occurs in the fuel/air mixture when carburetor heat is applied?
The fuel/air mixture becomes richer
