AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS AND OPERATIONS: PC-12 FLIGHT AND
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES: TEST QUESTIONS WITH
ANSWERS
1) What does A.V.E.F stand for? -- Answer ✔✔ Assigned, Vectored, Expected,
Filed.
2) What does M.E.A stand for? -- Answer ✔✔ Minimum Enroute Altitude: MEA,
Expected, Assigned (whichever is highest).
3) What does the donut on the AOA indicator represent? -- Answer ✔✔ Optimum
AOA for best Lift/Drag ratio.
4) What weather conditions are expected when crossing a stationary front? --
Answer ✔✔ Clouds, poor visibility, turbulence, and steady state showers.
5) What is the minimum recommended distance to maintain from a thunderstorm?
-- Answer ✔✔ 20 nautical miles.
, 6) What are the memory items for an engine failure at 400 ft AGL? -- Answer ✔✔
PCL - Idle, CONDITION LEVER - Cut-off/Feather, FLAPS - 40, VREF - 84 KIAS,
NON ESS BUS - Switch to OVRD, LANDING GEAR - Down, FUEL EMERG
SHUT OFF - Press latch down and pull lever fully up.
7) What is P3 air and when is it active? -- Answer ✔✔ P3 air is taken from the 3rd
compressor stage in the gas generator, selected automatically below
approximately 80% Ng, and provides air for ECS/ACS, pneumatic de-ice boots,
and FCU operation.
8) What is the oil system capacity? -- Answer ✔✔ 14.5 quarts of BP2380.
9) What is the primary function of engine oil for the gas generator? -- Answer ✔✔
Cooling of the rolling elements, along with lubrication, removal of debris, and
propeller governor function.
10) What is the path of fuel to the engine? -- Answer ✔✔ Fuel cap, main tank,
collector tank, delivery jet pump, electric boost pump, common fuel line, MX
shutoff valve, fuel filter, air/fuel separator, firewall shutoff valve, low pressure
engine driven fuel pump, fuel/oil heat exchanger, high pressure engine driven fuel
pump, fuel control unit, fuel flow transducer, fuel divider valve, starting/running
fuel manifold.
11) What is motive flow for the fuel jet pumps? -- Answer ✔✔ It utilizes return fuel
through a venturi to accelerate wing fuel downstream.
12) How can you cross-check a low oil pressure indication in flight? -- Answer ✔✔
Check if oil temperature begins to rise and if propeller governor performance
degrades.
