AMS 263 Final Exam – Study Guide, Practice Questions & Comprehensive Review
What happens when cabin altitude goes up? - ANS ✔✔Cabin Pressure goes down
How are deicer boots installed on an aircraft? - ANS ✔✔They are attached by adhesives or
special rivets.
How are deicer boots deployed? - ANS ✔✔They are periodically inflated by a compressor bleed
air or by an air pump.
What do we use to clean deicer boots? - ANS ✔✔Use mild soap and water
How do we safety turnbuckles? - ANS ✔✔Safety Wire with the preferred double wrap spiral or
double wrap method, or a locking clip.
How threads should be exposed when installing a turnbuckle? - ANS ✔✔No more than 3
threads should be exposed.
What is the proof loading process? - ANS ✔✔Testing cable terminals for proper strength before
installation and gradually applying a test load equal to 60% of the cables breaking strength for
three minutes.
How do you check if a cable is swaged correctly? - ANS ✔✔Using a Go-No-Go Gage
How much should fairleads deflect? - ANS ✔✔3 degrees
What is Appendix A of FAR 43? - ANS ✔✔Major repairs, Alterations, & Preventive Maintenance
, What is Appendix B of FAR 43? - ANS ✔✔Recording of Major Repairs and Alterations

the
amount of pressurized air that is allowed to exit
the cabin.
