8/ What does ice NOT effect on Engine Inlet of Aircraft?

a. A disturbed air flow that reduces the performance of engine
b. It can lead to compressor stall and if the engine sucks in pieces of ice, these pice can
damage the fan blades or inlet guide vanes
c. It can make engine flame out

9/ What solution is for engine anti ice?

a. Thermal

open the anti-ice valve by themselves

detector send the ice signal or not

a. Direct from its engines
b. Pneumatic manifold
c. Direct from electric compressor

15/ How does the solenoid-controlled valve work?

a. Electric controls and operates
b. Pressured air control and operates
c. Electric controls, pressured air operates

16/ With no electrical and pneumatic air available, what position is the anti-valve?
a. Open position
b. Close position
c. Intermediate position

17/ Why does the section of leading edge near the wing tip NOT often equip the anti-ice
system?
a. Because ice never builds up at this section due to small profile
b. Because vibration frequency at this section is high and it destroys the ice
c. Because the vortex at the wing tip destroys the ice

18/ Where is the pneumatic air taken?

a. From turbine section of engine
b. From APU compressor only
c. From engine compressor mainly, from APU is optional

19/ What sensor is used for anti-vale indication?

a. Pressure Sensor at upstream and downstream of anti-ice valve
b. Proximity Sensor
c. LVDT/RVDT Sensor

20/ What is the function of the over temp switches in the pneumatic manifoild?
a. For temperature measuring and indicator
b. For alert and protection
c. Both of them

(29.Dec.2022)

21/ Why do the aircraft manufacturers Not use chemical to anti-ice/de-icing for air data
device (pitot, static port, TAT, AOA…)
a. Because the chemical is very expensive
b. Because the chemical fluid can make corrosion for air data device
c. Because the chemical fluid can make the air data device become inaccurate

22/ Before cleaning the windshield by hand, what do technician need to do?
a. Turn off (switch or CB) the windshield anti-ice switches
b. Turn off all aircraft electric power
c. Turn off the anti-ice valve to close position

23/ Where does the heater element of windshield locate?

a. On the inside of the outer glass ply
b. On the outside of the windshield (ambient side)
c. On the outside of the windshield (Cockpit side)

24/ What does the weeping wing system (or trade name of TKS™ systems) include?
a. Wing and horizontal stabilizer system
b. Wing and stabilizer system
c. Wing only

25/ What aircraft engine component doesn’t need anti-ice/de-icing?

a. Engine inlet
b. Propeller
c. Fan blades

26/ Why do the propeller-driven (turboprop type) aircrafts or small turbine powered
aircrafts not use the pneumatic air for the thermal anti-ice?
a. Because they fly at low attitude
b. Because the pneumatic air is not enough
c. Because they fly at low speed
27/ With the pneumatic de-ice boots solution, what is required for the air?
a. Pressure
b. Temperature
c. Volume

28/ Where is the de-ice boots installed?

a. Trailing edge of the wing
b. Leading edge of the wing
c. Wing surface

29/ What material are the de-ice boots made and why?
a. Aluminum because the pneumatic air inside is too hot
b. Composite because it is light and good for fuel consumption
c. Rubber because it can expend when inflating

30/ How are the de-ice boots deflected?

a. By outflow valve
b. By vacuum
c. By check valve

31/ What is the function of vacuum with aircraft using the pneumatic de-ice boots?
a. It sucks the air from de-ice boots to outboard

a. By pneumatic air
b. By Electrical
c. By chemicals

b. Keep the windshield wet by water
c. Keep the windshield wet by the special chemicals

35/ Why do we use the chemicals repellent or surface seal coating for aircraft
windshield?
a. Because it causes raindrops to bead up and roll off
b. Because it does not absorb water
c. Both are correct

36/ What is the main reason why the aircraft manufacturers don’t use the chemicals
repellent for windshield?
