Anti-ice
What must be present for ice to form?
Visible moisture
Which component of a circuit is responsible for doing work?
Load
This hydraulic system controls the plane during taxi
Wheel brakes
What should a pilot do during explosive decompression?
Rapidly reduce altitude
Why does a pilot drain a small amount of fuel before the flight?
To check the grade of fuel / To clean contaminants
This is the process of preventing new ice from forming
Anti-icing
This electrical component initiates the engine's reciprocating motion
Starter motor
A screen or strainer that removes small particles from hydraulic fluid
This is defined as the loss of pressure in less than 0.5 seconds
Explosive decompression
Filler
This is the process of removing existing ice
De-icing
When the ammeter shows LOW CHARGE/DISCHARGE, the plane's electrical system is running entirely on __________
the battery
This routes fluid back to the reservoir when hydraulic pressure exceeds a set pressure
Relief valve
The type of oxygen system that pressurizes the air being delivered
Pressure demand
This allows the pilot to switch between fuel tanks
Fuel Selector
Which type of ice forms in cumulus clouds?
Clear ice
Which switch does a pilot turn off when the ammeter shows unusually high or low charge?
Avionics master
This component moves and controls the desired mechanism
Actuator
At what altitude is a pilot required to use supplemental oxygen after 30 minutes?
12,500 feet
An aircraft designed to fly upside down would most likely have which type of fuel system?
Which type of ice forms in stratus clouds?
Rime ice
What is the purpose of an alternator control unit?
Protect electrical components from power spikes
This hydraulic system reduces drag during flight
Retractable landing gear
At maximum __________ _____________, any increase in altitude will increase cabin altitude.
Differential pressure
The only time a plane's fuel gauge is required to be accurate
When the tank is empty
