The FAA
Aviation Mechanic - Powerplant
test bank contains questions pertaining to
Propellers
. The following list contains only a relatively small percentage of the pertinent
questions. Our software, which you are free to download now at no cost, will
generally contain a much more complete set of questions associated with this
test bank. This list is intended only to familiarize you in a general way with
the questions of the
Aviation Mechanic - Powerplant
test bank.
Did you know? Despite their claims of completeness,
the FAA test banks provided by several other online test preparation sources
are woefully incomplete. Read more about the
situation here. Our GroundSchool FAA written test preparation software generally
contains a much more up to date and complete question set and in no way suffers
from such deficiencies. In fact, it's the best way to prepare for your FAA written
test, period.
That said, while the following questions are intended
as a general familiarization tool, this list may not be up-to-date nor accurate.
We do not update this website as often as we update our software, which will
contain at any moment all questions that we have for a given test / topic. Therefore,
if you need to actually study for your test, instead of using the list below,
we strongly, strongly encourage you to download our GroundSchool
Aviation Mechanic - Powerplant
written test prep software. Not only is it more complete and more up to date,
but it also includes answers and explanation and has many features to make your
study fast and efficient.

- On most reciprocating multiengine aircraft, automatic propeller synchronization is accomplished through the actuation of the
- What unit in the propeller anti icing system controls the output of the pump?
- Grease used in aircraft propellers reduces the frictional resistance of moving parts and is easily molded into any form under pressure. This statement defines
- The application of more protective coating on one blade than the other when refinishing a wood propeller
- A powerplant using a hydraulically controlled constant speed propeller is operating within the propeller's constant speed range at a fixed throttle setting. If the tension of the propeller governor control spring (speeder spring) is reduced by movement of the cockpit propeller control, the propeller blade angle will

- Which of the following best describes the blade movement of a propeller that is in the high RPM position when reversing action is begun?
- The propeller blade angle is defined as the acute angle between the airfoil section chord line (at the blade reference station) and which of the following?
- The thrust produced by a rotating propeller is a result of
- The centrifugal twisting moment of an operating propeller tends to
- Which of the following forces or combination of forces operates to move the blades of a constant speed counterweight type propeller to the HIGH PITCH position?
- During operational check of an aircraft using hydromatic full feathering propellers, the following observations are made:
The feather button, after being pushed, remains depressed until the feather cycle is complete, then opens.
When unfeathering, it is necessary to manually hold the button down until unfeathering is accomplished.
- Which of the following statements about constant speed counterweight propellers is also true when referring to two position counterweight propellers?
- The primary purpose of a cuff on a propeller is to
- The centrifugal twisting force acting on a propeller blade is
- What operational force tends to bend the propeller blades forward at the tip?
- Longitudinal (fore and aft) clearance of constant speed propeller blades or cuffs must be at least 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) between propeller parts and stationary parts of the aircraft. This clearance is with the propeller blades
- The primary purpose of a feathering propeller is to
- What is indicated when the front cone bottoms while installing a propeller?
- If propeller cones or hub cone seats show evidence of galling and wear, the most likely cause is
- Propeller blade tracking is the process of determining
- In what position is the constant speed propeller control placed to check the magnetos?
- It is important that nicks in aluminum alloy propeller blades be repaired as soon as possible in order to
- When preparing a propeller blade for inspection it should be cleaned with
- The primary reason for careful inspection and prompt repairing of minor surface defects such as scratches, nicks, gouges, etc. on aluminum alloy propellers is to prevent
