Which condition would cause the altimeter to indicate a lower altitude than true
altitude?
A. Air temperature lower than standard
B. Atmospheric pressure lower than standard
C. Air temperature warmer than standard - Correct Answer-C. Air temperature
warmer than standard.
Under what condition will true altitude be lower than indicated altitude?
A. In colder than standard air temperature
B. In warmer than standard air temperature
C. When density altitude is higher than indicated altitude - Correct Answer-A.
Colder than standard air temperature.
How do variations in temperature affect the altimeter? - Correct Answer-Pressure
levels are raised on warm days and the indicated altitude is lower than the true
altitude.

Answer-The circulation of lubricating oil.
If the engine oil temperature and cylinder head temperature gauges have
exceeded their normal operating range, the pilot may have been operating with...
- Correct Answer-too much power and with the mixture set too lean.
What action can a pilot take to aid in cooling an engine that is overheating during

How is engine operation controlled on an engine equipped with a constant-speed
propeller? - Correct Answer-The throttle controls power output as registered on
the manifold pressure gauge and the propeller control regulates engine RPM.
A precaution for the operation of an engine equipped with a constant-speed
propeller is to... - Correct Answer-Avoid high manifold pressure settings with low
RPM
What is an advantage of a constant-speed propeller? - Correct Answer-Permits the
pilot to select the blade angle for the most efficient performance.
One purpose of the dual ignition system on an aircraft engine is to provide for... -
Correct Answer-Improved engine performance. (also increased safety)
If the ignition switch ground wire becomes disconnected, the magneto... - Correct
Answer-May continue to fire.
With regard to carburetor ice, float-type carburetor systems in comparison to fuel
injection systems are generally considered to be... - Correct Answer-More
susceptible to icing.
Which condition is most favorable to the development of carburetor icing? -
Correct Answer-Temperature between 20ºF and 70ºF and high humidity.

The possibility of carburetor icing exist even when the ambient air temperature is
as... - Correct Answer-High as 70ºF and the relative humidity is high.
If an aircraft is equipped with a fixed-pitch propeller and a float-type carburetor,
the first indication of carburetor ice would most likely be... - Correct Answer-Loss
of RPM.
The operating principle of float-type carburetors is based on the... - Correct
Answer-Difference in air pressure at the venturi throat and the air inlet.
The presence of carburetor ice in an aircraft equipped with a fixed-pitch propeller
can be verified by applying carburetor heat and noting... - Correct Answer-A
decrease in RPM and then a gradual increase in RPM.
Generally speaking, the use of carburetor heat tends to... - Correct Answer-
Decrease engine performance.
Applying carburetor heat will... - Correct Answer-Enrich the fuel/air mixture.
What change occurs in the fuel/air mixture when the carburetor heat is applied? -
Correct Answer-The fuel/air mixture becomes richer.
During the run-up at a high-elevation airport, a pilot notes a slight engine
roughness that is not affected by the magneto check but grows worse during the
carburetor heat check. Under these circumstances, what would be the most
logical initial action? - Correct Answer-Check the results obtained with a leaner
setting of the mixture.
