The book can be used to test applicants in the following flight engineer knowledge areas: basic, turbojet powered, turbopropeller powered, and reciprocating engine powered. The multiple-choice test questions in this book represent a departure from referencing specific airplane makes and models. Instead, test questions are referenced from readily available publications using general questions common to the operation of most turbojet, turbopropeller, and reciprocating engines. Extensive appendices contain background material needed to answer the questions, includihg 58 figures. (Answers to the questions are not included, norare they published by the FAA.) (KC) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document. FLIGHT ENGINEER QUESTION BOOK 1989 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION Aviation Standards National Flaid Office 3 PREFACE This question book has been developed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to be used by FAA testing centers and FM designated written test examiners when admit ristering the flight engineer written test. This question book is for use in testing applicants in the following knowledge areas: Flight EngineerBasic Flight EngineerTurbojet Powered Flight EngineerTurbopropeller Powered Right EngineerReciprocating Engine Powered An applicant for a flight engineer certificate must pass a basic written test and a class rating written test appropriate to the aircraft class for which a rating is desired. The flight engineer class test questions in this question book represent a departure from referencing specific airplane makes and models. Instead, class test questions are referenced from readily available publications utilizing general-type questions common to the operation of most turbojet, turbopropeller, and reciprocating engines. This question book is issued as FM-T-8080-8C, Flight Engineer Question Book, and is available to the public from: Superintendent Of Documents U.S. Government Printing Office Washington, DC 20402 or from U.S. Government Printing Office bookstores located in major cities throughout the United States. The questions included in this publication are predicated on regulations, references, principles, and practices that were valid at the time of publication. The question selection sheets prepared for use with this question book are security items and are revised at frequent intervals. The FM does NOT Publish, supply, or make available, the correct answers tc questions included in this question book. Students should determine the correct answers through research and study of appropriate subject material, working with Instructors, and by attending appropriate ground schools. The FM is NOT responsible for the content of commercial reprints of this question book, or the accuracy of any answers supplied separate or inclusive. iN 4 Contents Page Preface iii Contents v General Instructions vii Introduction to the Right Engineer Question Book ix Questions 1 Appendix 1 Subject Matter Knowledge Codes 1 Appendix 2 Figure 1.
