Aircraft systems questions

Here are some sample aircraft systems questions that cover a variety of topics, ranging from basic to more advanced concepts, to help test your knowledge:

Propulsion and Engine Systems:

  1. What is the difference between a turbofan engine and a turbojet engine?
  2. How does the FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control) system benefit modern turbine engines?
  3. Explain the function of an engine oil system. Why is it crucial for engine health?
  4. What is the purpose of a thrust reverser in a jet engine?
  5. How do pilots manage engine performance during cruise to ensure optimal fuel efficiency?

Fuel Systems:

  1. How does a crossfeed fuel system work in a multi-engine aircraft?
  2. What is the purpose of a fuel pump, and how is fuel delivered to the engine?
  3. Explain the significance of fuel balancing in a twin-engine aircraft.
  4. What could be the consequence of fuel contamination, and how can pilots detect it?
  5. What is the function of a fuel flow indicator, and why is it important for the pilot to monitor it?

Electrical Systems:

  1. What is the difference between an aircraft's AC (alternating current) and DC (direct current) electrical systems?
  2. How do circuit breakers protect the aircraft's electrical systems?
  3. What is the role of the auxiliary power unit (APU) in electrical systems?
  4. If an aircraft loses electrical power to one generator, what is the backup system?
  5. What is the significance of monitoring the amperage and voltage on the aircraft’s electrical displays?

Avionics and Communication Systems:

  1. What is the difference between VOR and ILS navigation systems?
  2. How does the Flight Management System (FMS) contribute to the flight planning and navigation process?
  3. What steps should a pilot take if communication with ATC is lost while in controlled airspace?
  4. Explain the purpose of the TCAS (Traffic Collision Avoidance System) and how it operates.
  5. How do autopilot systems assist pilots, and what should a pilot do in case of autopilot failure?

Hydraulic Systems:

  1. What is the purpose of hydraulic systems in an aircraft, and which components do they typically control?
  2. How do hydraulic failures affect aircraft operations, and what backup systems exist?
  3. What is a hydraulic accumulator, and how does it function in the aircraft's hydraulic system?
  4. How is hydraulic pressure monitored, and why is it important for the safe operation of an aircraft?

Flight Control Systems:

  1. What is the difference between primary and secondary flight controls?
  2. How does a fly-by-wire (FBW) system differ from traditional mechanical flight control systems?
  3. In the event of a loss of hydraulic power, how would a pilot maintain control of the aircraft’s flight surfaces?
  4. What is the purpose of trim systems, and how do they improve flight efficiency?
  5. How do the ailerons, rudder, and elevator control the aircraft's attitude and direction?

Landing Gear and Braking Systems:

  1. What are the steps to be taken if the aircraft’s landing gear fails to retract after takeoff?
  2. How do anti-skid braking systems help prevent tire damage during landing?
  3. What is the function of thrust reversers, and how do they assist with deceleration after landing?
  4. What is the significance of the green light in the landing gear indicator panel?

Environmental Control Systems (ECS):

  1. What is cabin pressurization, and why is it important for long flights?
  2. What emergency procedures should a pilot follow in the event of cabin depressurization?
  3. Explain the role of the aircraft's environmental control system (ECS) during a flight.
  4. How does the aircraft’s air conditioning system work, and how is temperature regulated for passengers and crew?

Anti-icing and De-icing Systems:

  1. What are the common types of de-icing/anti-icing systems found on an aircraft?
  2. How does a wing anti-ice system work in preventing ice accumulation during flight?
  3. When should pilots activate de-icing systems during a flight?

Emergency Systems:

  1. What are the different types of fire detection and suppression systems in modern aircraft?
  2. In the event of a decompression, what emergency equipment will be deployed?
  3. How should pilots manage emergency oxygen systems for passengers and crew in case of cabin depressurization?
  4. What is the importance of monitoring engine vibration levels, and what might excessive vibration indicate?
  5. What actions should a pilot take if the aircraft’s primary flight instruments fail during flight?

These questions cover a broad range of aircraft systems to help pilots understand their operational roles and troubleshoot potential problems during flight. To answer these thoroughly, a pilot would need extensive training, typically from flight schools, type ratings, or recurrent training programs.
