,T-6 Systems Questions And Answers .
TAD assists trimming for which control surface? What does it take into consideration? -
answer;-The TAD senses torque, altitude, airspeed, and pitch rate and computes a
desired rudder trim tab position
T/F Engine exhaust augments the thrust of the propeller - answer;-True. Exhaust gases
are ejected rearward providing thrust which augments that provided by the propeller

Tuning for each of the communications and navigation radios and the transponder is
provided by which component - answer;-RMU
T/F the VHF navigation system provides VOR, ILS, localizer and GPS capability -
answer;-False. The VHF system provides VOR, ILS, localizer, and glideslope capability
Primary navigation display is provided by which component of the EFIS - answer;-
Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator EHSI
Which standby flight instruments will operate without electrical power - answer;-The
standby altimeter, airspeed indicator, the ball in the turn and bank indicator, and the
magnetic compass.
T/F The entire canopy structure is engineered to be protected from birdstrikes -
answer;-False. Only the windscreen and front canopy transparency are protected
Landing gear extension and retraction is operated by which aircraft system - answer;-
Hydraulic
Movement around the roll axis is controlled by which primary control surface - answer;-
Ailerons
What component of the ejection seat provides sufficient altitude for parachute
deployment - answer;-Rocket motor
T/R The magnetic compass is one of the primary flight instruments - answer;-False. The
magnetic compass is a standby flight instrument.
Secondary aircraft electrical power is provided by what compoenent - answer;-24 volt
battery
Which aircraft system provides automatic temperature and pressure control - answer;-
Environment control system
, T-6 Systems Questions And Answers .
Control of the transponder is provided by which component - answer;-RMU
T/R The canopy is hinged at the rear and opens up - answer;-False. The canopy is
hinged along the right side and opens to that side
Which primary instrument provides primary attitude display - answer;-Electronic attitude
Director Indicator
In the event of inadvertent aircraft contract with the ground, which component will be
activated and generate a radio signal - answer;-The personal locator radio beacon
senses impact loads and generates a signal on 121.5 and 243.0 MHz or 121.5 and
406.0 MHz
What is the purpose of the engine cowlings (3) - answer;-Protect the engine
components, degrease drag, and provide engine air intake
What does the inertial separator do - answer;-Causes air molecules to turn 90* to the
engine compartment. Heavier particles such as water or debris are not able to make the
turn and are returned to the atmosphere through a bypass duct.
What type of engine is on the T-6 - answer;-Pratt and Whitney PT6A-68 free turnbine,
reverse flow design turboprop engine
What three elements are necessary for engine operation - answer;-Air
Fuel
Heat
What are the major sections of the engine - answer;-Accessory compartment
Gas generation section
Power turbine section
What are the major systems in the accessory compartment - answer;-Accessory
gearbox
Battery
Oil Tank
Starter/generator
What does the starter do - answer;-turns the compressor turbine and compressor which
provides air to the engine until it starts and is able to sustain itself
What components does the gas generation section contain - answer;-Compressor inlet
Compressor
Combustion Chamber
Compressor Turbine
