HANDLE WITH CARE
This common hand tool is used to tighten or loosen hex‑head bolts and nuts and often comes in open‑end, box, or combination types.
Wrench
What is the most abundant gas in the earth's atmosphere?
Nitrogen
This long strip of paved surface is used for aircraft takeoff and landing.
Runway
This term describes the point where the aircraft’s weight is considered to be concentrated.
Center of Gravity
This general term describes the gradual deterioration of metal due to chemical reactions with the environment.
Corrosion
This specialized wrench is designed to tighten fasteners to a specified torque value and often “clicks” when that value is reached.
Torque Wrench
This law of motion states that an object will stay at rest or in uniform motion unless acted on by an external force.
Newton's First Law of Motion or Law of Inertia
This is the paved pathway that connects runways to the apron, hangars, and terminals
Taxiway
This product of weight and arm is used to calculate the center of gravity.
Moment
This type of corrosion occurs when two different metals are in contact in the presence of an electrolyte, causing one to corrode faster.
Galvanic Corrosion
This hazard occurs when tools, rags, or loose items are left in an aircraft after maintenance and can cause serious damage in flight.
Foreign Object Damage
This gas law states that, at constant temperature, pressure and volume are inversely related.
Boyle's Law
This two‑color light system beside the runway gives pilots visual glide‑path information using red and white lights.
PAPI or VASI
In weight and balance computation, what is the standard weight for a pilot?
184 lbs
What is the tagalog term for Corrosion?
Kaagnasan ng Bakal
These thin metal blades of known thickness are used to measure small clearances such as spark‑plug gaps and valve clearances.
Feeler Gauge
This type of circuit connection has components side‑by‑side, so each has the same voltage but different currents.
Parallel Circuit
This color of lights marks the edges of most runways at night.
White
What are the two purposes of weight and balance?
Safety and Efficiency
This type of corrosion occurs along the grain boundaries of alloys and can cause the metal to crack along those boundaries.
Inter-granular Corrosion
Before using a torque wrench, this must be checked to ensure it provides accurate readings according to standards.
Calibration Date
This effect occurs when a fluid flowing over a curved surface tends to follow that surface, helping explain why airflow can remain attached to a wing.
Coanda Effect
Which airport in the Philippines has an ICAO Code of RPLL
Ninoy Aquino International Airport or Manila International Airport
What is the formula for computing the center of gravity of an aircraft?
Total Moment / Total Weight
In galvanic corrosion, this type of metal (more active on the galvanic series) tends to corrode faster.
Anodic Metal
