oil (bleeds it out from the scavenge system)
What is the position of the internal valves of the pressurizing and vent valves when the
aircraft is on the ground? - Correct Answer- Aneroid valve is open
What is the position of the internal valves of the pressurizing and vent valves when the
aircraft is at 20k ft? - Correct Answer- Aneroid begins to open at around 8000-10000 ft, and
will be completely closed at 20000 ft
What is a "hot tank"? - Correct Answer- The cooler is located in the pressure subsystem
What is a "cold tank"? - Correct Answer- The cooler is located in the scavenge system
Explain trimming: - Correct Answer- Also known as tuning, is when you make adjustments to

constant to assure proper oil flow
What are the 3 most common types of pumps used in oil systems? - Correct Answer- 1.
Gerotor
2. Gear
3. Vane
