This best describes the blade movement of a full-feathering, constant-speed propeller that is in the LOW RPM position when the feathering action is begun.

What is from high pitch directly to feather position.

100

If a blade of a particular metal propeller is shortened because of damage to the tip, the remaining blade(s) must be

What is reduced to conform with the shortened blade.

100

By allowing oil to escape from the propeller hub thus driving the blades to an increased blade angle, the propeller overspeed governor on a turboprop engine does this to propeller RPM.

What is decrease propeller RPM?

100

Propeller fluid anti-icing systems generally use which of this

What is isopropyl alcohol?

100

This will happen to the propeller blade angle and the engine RPM if the tension on the propeller governor control spring (speeder spring) is increased.

What is the blade angle will decrease and RPM will increase.

200

This fluid is generally use in propeller anti-icing systems 

What is Isopropyl Alcohol?

200

This force tends to turn the blades to a high blade angle

What is the aerodynamic twisting force?

200

correct blade contouring and angle setting can largely eliminate this

Propeller aerodynamic (thrust) imbalance

200

This unit in the propeller anti-icing system controls the output of the pump

What is the Rheostat?

200

This is identified as the cambered or curved side of a propeller blade, corresponding to the upper surface of a wing airfoil section?

What is the blade back?

300

This is how aircraft electrical power for propeller deicer systems is transferred from the engine to the propeller hub assembly.

What is by slip rings and brushes.

300

By allowing oil to escape from the propeller hub thus driving the blades to a increased blade angle, the propeller overspeed governor on a turboprop engine does this to propeller RPM.

Decreases

300

The actual distance a propeller moves forward through the air during one revolution is known as this

What is effective pitch?

300

This best describes the blade movement of a feathering propeller that is in the HIGH RPM position when the feathering action is begun.

What is low pitch through high pitch to feather position

400

Ice formation on a propeller blade will produce this

What is unbalance and vibration?

400

this ensures the engine will turn at its rated takeoff RPM at sea level when the throttle is opened to allowable takeoff manifold pressure.

What is the low pitch stop on a constant-speed propeller

400

 These characteristics of grease reduce the frictional resistance of moving part and is easily molded into any form under pressure

antifriction and plasticity

500

This force ejects anti-icing fluid from the slinger ring on a propeller

Whaty is by centrifugal force

500

This is the acute angle between the blade section chord line and the plane of rotation.

What is the propeller blade angle?

500

The pitch-changing mechanism of the hydromatic propeller is lubricated by this

What is the pitch-changing oil?

500

Grease used in aircraft propellers reduces the frictional resistance of moving parts and is easily molded into any form under pressure. This statement defines

antifriction and plasticity characteristics of grease.
