25
It is activated by the plunger of the pressurizing valve. When activated it de-energizes the protection relay and this disconnects the electrical power from the solenoid. This makes sure that the valve cannot move by mistake.
Limit Switch
26
The main positions of these levers are idle and takeoff thrust.
Forward Thrust Levers
27
They are also called the throttles.
Forward thrust lever
28
Which of the following is correct?
At the drum below the trust levers, the forward thrust lever rotates the drum counter clockwise and the reverse thrust lever rotates the drum clockwise.
29
It is used to accelerate and decelerate engine but cannot be used to shut down engine
Forward Thrust Control
30
The Thrust control system transmit the ___ to the fuel control unit via control rods, cables, and drums and puley and flexible controls such as push-pull cables.
Engine Start Signal
31
To which component does the power lever transmits the thrust lever signal to?
Fuel Control Unit (FCU)
32
When the Thrust levers are in idle, the power lever is in what position?
Mid
33
Which of the following is true?
If you move the thrust levers forward, the power lever moves up.
34
Where can racks and pinions be found?
thrust control drum, engine pylon, and FCU
35
The ____movement of the rack is transformed into a ____ movement by the pinion.
circular; radial
36
It ensures that the internal friction must be strong enough to prevent the throttles moving due to vibration but should be small enough to move the throttles easily.
Friction Brake
37
The ___mechanism receives signals from the autothrottle computer and uses an electrical servo motor to move the thrust lever.
Autothrottle Servo
38
It ensure that the autothrottle servo motor can be disconnected from the mechanical control system.
Integral Friction
39
Microswitches are used for the following warnings and controls which depend on the lever position except
Engine Fire Warning
40
Which adjustment of the engine thrust control systems is done separately
controls between the pylon and the fuel control unit
41
The adjustment between the cockpit and the pylon is usually done with the thrust levers in which position.
Idle
42
What is necessary after adjustment of the thrust control system to make sure that thrust control levers can be moved over the full range between idle and full forward thrust adn between idle and full reverse thrust.
Travel check
43
Its taks are to activate the thrust reverser, increase engine power, and block the reverse thrust lever while the reverser moves from the stowed to the deployed position.
Reverse Thrust Controls
44
It is the mechanical linkage to prevent the pilot from increasing engine power until the reverser is fully deployed.
Throttle Interlock System
45
When the reverse thrust control lever is moved to reverse idle, the thrust control pinion rotates until the lower roller contacts the cam of the reverser feedback cam.
counter-clockwise
46
When the reverser____ the reverse feedback mechanism rotates the reverser feedback cam clockwise.
deploys
47
Ensures that the forward thrust lever and the reverse thrust lever can not be activated at the same time.
thrust lever lock system
48
What happens when the throttle control lever is pushed forward in the lever lock system?
it locks the two rollers of the rocker arm
49
In a Electrical Thrust Control, how many thrust control signals are sent from each control lever to the associated electronic control unit at the engine.
two
50
An _____is used to simulate a higher resistance in the mechanical transmission system.
artificial feel mechanism
51
In fly-by-wire Airbus aircraft, how is a new power setting request handled without an autothrottle servo motor?
By sending the request directly to the FADEC computers
52
What range of positions can the forward thrust control lever be set to?
Idle to full forward thrust
53
How does the number of mechanical parts in a thrust control system affect rig points?
More parts mean more rig points
54
What does the reverse idle position of the reverse thrust lever do?
Activates the reverser
55
Which system uses control switches for functions like take-off warning and thrust reverser activation?
Electrical reverse thrust control system
56
Why might some aircraft do not have a throttle interlock system?
The FADEC can monitor reverser deployment and adjust fuel flow
57
What dangerous situation can occur if a reverser fails to deploy on an outer engine of a 4-engine aircraft?
Strong yaw momentum to runway departure
58
How are the reverser control levers protected on some aircraft with FADEC?
By individual electromechanical interlock actuators
59
How do the FADEC systems of the outer engines communicate on the A340?
They lock the reverse levers until both outer reversers are deployed
60
On the A320, it releases the throttle control lever so that it can be pulled further aft out of the idle position for full reverse power.
reverse latching lever
61
Ignition is also necessary for the engine when external conditions can lead to a flame-out of the combustion
Continuous ignition function
