Gleim Section 3 Test With Complete Solutions
Filling the fuel tanks after the last flight of the day is considered a good operating procedure because this will ANS✔✔
prevent moisture condensation by eliminating airspace in the tanks
Should it become necessary to hand prop an airplane engine, it is extremely important that a competent pilot... ANS✔✔
be at the controls on the flight deck
The uncontrolled firing of the fuel/ air charge in advance of normal spark ignition is known as ANS✔✔ pre-ignition
What should be the first action after starting an aircraft engine ANS✔✔ Adjust for proper RPM and check for desired
indications on the engine gauges
Which of the following is a true statement concerning electrical systems ANS✔✔ Lights and radios use the electrical
system for power
During preflight in cold weather, crankcase breather lines should receive special attention because they are susceptible
to being clogged by ANS✔✔ ice from crankcase vapors that have condensed and subsequently frozen
An electrical system failure (battery and alternator) occurs during flight. In this situation, you would ANS✔✔ experience
avionics equipment failure
to properly purge water from the fuel system of an aircraft equipped with fuel tank sumps and a fuel strainer quick drain
it is necessary to drain fuel from the ANS✔✔ fuel strainer drain and the fuel tank sumps
Detonation occurs in a reciprocating aircraft engine when ANS✔✔ the unburned charge in the cylinders explodes
instead of burning normally
If the grade of fuel used in an aircraft engine is lower than specified for the engine, it will most likely cause ANS✔✔
detonation

On aircraft equipped with fuel pumps, when is the auxiliary electric driven pump used? ANS✔✔ in the event engine-
driven fuel pump fails
If a pilot suspects that the engine (with a fixed-pitch propeller) is detonating during climb-out after takeoff, the initial
corrective action to take would be to ANS✔✔ lower the nose slightly to increase airspeed
which would likely cause the cylinder head temperature and the engine oil temperature gauges to exceed their normal
operating temperatures ANS✔✔ using fuel that has a lower than specified fuel rating
What type fuel can be substituted for an aircraft if the recommended octane is not available? ANS✔✔ the next higher
octane aviation gas
a positive indication on an ammeter ANS✔✔ shows the rate of charge on the battery
Under which condition will pressure altitude be equal to true altitude? ANS✔✔ When standard atmospheric conditions
exist
Altimeter 2 indicates ANS✔✔ 14,500 feet (4500, 1500, 14500)
Which instrument(s) will become inoperative if the static vents become clogged? ANS✔✔ Airspeed indicator, altimeter
and vertical speed indicator
Altimeter setting is the value to which the barometric pressure scale of the altimeter is set so the altimeter indicates
ANS✔✔ true altitude at field elevation
What is the maximum flaps-extended speed ANS✔✔ 100kts
What is the full flap operating range for the airplane? ANS✔✔ 55 to 100 kts

If it is necessary to set the altimeter from 29.15 to 29.85, what change occurs? ANS✔✔ 700-foot increase in indicated
altitude
The pitot system provides impact pressure for which instrument ANS✔✔ Airspeed indicator
Altimeter 3 indicates...
a) 9,500 feet
b) 10,500 feet
c) 4500 feet ANS✔✔ 9500 feet
If a flight is made from an area of low pressure into an area of high pressure without the altimeter setting being
adjusted, the altimeter will indicate ANS✔✔ lower than actual altitude above sea level
If the pitot tube and outside static vents become clogged, which instruments would be affected? ANS✔✔ altimeter,
airspeed indicator, vertical speed indicator
What is an important airspeed limitation that is not color coded on airspeed indicators? ANS✔✔ maneuvering speed
Altimeter 2 indicates...
a) 500 feet
b) 1,500 feet
c) 4,500 feet ANS✔✔ 1500 feet
Which altimeter(s) indicate(s) more than 9,000 feet? ANS✔✔ 3 only
Under what condition will true altitude be lower than indicated altitude ANS✔✔ in colder than standard air temperature
