This person is primarily responsible for the determination of aircraft airworthiness prior to a flight.

Who is the PIC?

100

This is the primary structural member of a wing.

What is a spar?

100

As aircraft speed increases, this type of drag on the landing gear becomes greater.

What is parasite?

100

These are the four (actual) strokes of an internal combustion engine.

What is intake, compression, power, exhaust?

100

Manifold pressure is normally lowest at this power setting.

What is idle power?

200

These are mandatory maintenance actions from the FAA for maintaining airworthiness.

What are Airworthiness Directives?

200

An airplane with this structure relies primarily on the skin for fuselage strength.

What is monocoque?

200

This supplies the hydraulic pressure for braking on a Piper Archer or Arrow.

What is foot pressure on the top of the rudder pedals?

200

To aid in cooling, the exterior of each cylinder includes these.

What are cooling fins?

200

The turbocharger receives maximum airflow when the waste gate is in what position?

What is closed?

300

This person is authorized to complete an annual inspection of an airplane.

Who is an IA?

300

This type of flight control tab is found on the trailing edge of the Archer stabiliator.

What is an anti-servo tab?

300

If the nose wheel shakes excessively during the high-speed portion of takeoff and landing, it is likely that this component needs to be replaced.

What is a shimmy dampener?

300

When the fuel-air mixture is ignited by the spark plug, but instead of burning at a controlled rate, it explodes, it is called this.

What is detonation?

300

This type of turbocharger is capable of boosting manifold pressure to around 40"Hg.

What is a ground-boosted turbocharger?

400

An annual inspection was performed on your aircraft on October 7th, 2024. What is the last date the airplane can be flown without a new annual?

What is October 31, 2025?

400

A V-Tail aircraft such as the V-Tail Bonanza combines two control surfaces into what new control surface?

What is a ruddervator?

400

This is the primary source of power for the Arrow landing gear.

What is electric-powered hydraulic pump?

400

The combination of the volume of space in a cylinder when the piston is at the bottom of the stroke to the volume when the piston is at the top of the stroke is called this.

What is compression ratio?

400

A waste gate controls the amount of exhaust entering the turbocharger. It is normally controlled using this.

What is oil pressure?

500

A 100-hour inspection is required for airplanes used in these two activities.

What is carrying persons for hire, or flight instruction?

500

Fabric-covered aircraft usually have this type of fuselage structure due to the lack of structural support from the skin.

What is truss?

500

These three (3) conditions will cause the landing gear warning horn to sound in the Arrow.

What is flaps more than 10° with gear not down, manifold pressure less than 14" with gear not down, gear selector up on the ground with weight on wheels?

500

List four (4) functions of oil.

What is reduce friction, cushion, cooling, sealing, cleaning, and preventing corrosion?

500

When operating a turbocharger, the pilot should make slow changes in throttle settings and pause for the engine to stabilize to avoid this condition.

What is overshoot?
