Dale Crane's Oral and Practical Exam Guide: General; Basic Physics Questions With All Correct Answers What is meant by matter? - ANSWER- Anything that occupies space and has weight What are the three basic physics states in which matter can exist? - ANSWER- Solid, liquid, and gas What is meant by pressure? - ANSWER- Force that acts on a unit of area What is the standard sea level atmospheric pressure express in inches of mercury and in pounds per square inch - ANSWER- 29.92 inches o...

Why must a switch be derated if it is used in a circuit that supplies incandescent lamps? The high-inrush current caused by the low resistance of the cold filament requires that the switches be derated What is an SPDT switch? A single-pole, double-throw switch Where could you find the part number of a switch in an aircraft electrical system? In the equipment table or bill of materials on the electrical circuit diagram for the aircraft If no specific instructions are avail...

When should an aircraft be reweighed? -After an extensive repair or alteration that could change its weight or center of gravity -There is no FAA requirement that it be periodically reweighed. There is, however, an FAA requirement that the airplane always have a current and accurate weight and balance report. If the weight and balance report for an aircraft is lost, the aircraft must be weighed and a new report must be created. If the airplane has new equipment installed, such as a radio or a ...

Which species of wood is considered to be the standard when comparing other woods for use in aircraft structure? -Sitka Spruce -Spruce is the preferred choice and the standard by which the other wood is measured. It lists the strength and characteristics of the wood in comparison to spruce. The one item common to all the species is that the slope of the grain cannot be steeper than 1:15. Why must abrupt changes in the cross-sectional area of a wooden structural member be avoided? Abrupt ...

On what two frequencies does the Emergency Locator Transmitter operate? 121.5 and 243.0 megahertz Where is the ELT transmitter normally located on an aircraft? In the tail of the aircraft or as far aft as possible, so it will be least likely to be damaged in a crash How often should ELT batteries be replaced or recharged? When the transmitter has been in use for more than 1 cumulative hour, or when 50% of their useful life or charge has expired How can you know when an EL...
