Q

Blade angle is the angle between

A

CHORD OF THE BLADE and the ROTATIONAL PLANE of the PROPELLER

23
Q

Dye penetrant inspection on prop is accomplished to detect

A

Cracks and other defects

24
Q

How is speed of propeller changed during flight

A

By changing the load tension against the flyweights in the governor

25
Purpose of permanently sealing and partially filling hubs with dyed oil is to
Make the location of cracks readily apparent
26
How is anti fluid ejected from the slinger ring on props
By centrifugal force
27
Geometric pitch of prop is defined as the
Effective pitch plus slippage
28
Angle of attack of rotating propeller blade is MEASURED between the blade chord or face and
Relative airstream
29
Propeller governor controls the
Oil to and from the changing pitch mechanism
30
Reason for careful inspection of minor surface scratches on aluminum allow propellers is to prevent
Fatigue failure
31
If a flanged propeller shaft has dowel pins
The propeller can be installed in a given position
32
Advantage of dye penetrant
It shows weather visible lines are cracks rather than scratches
33
When engine power is increased constant speed propellers tries to function so that it will
Maintain RPM, increase blade angle, maintain low angle of attack
34
Unit that control the output of the anti icing pump
Rheostat
35
Thrust produced by rotating propeller is a result of
An area of decreased pressure immediately in front of the propeller blades
36
Constant speed non feathering, mccauley, hartzell WITHOUT counterweights increase pitch angle using
Oil pressure
37
Force causes the greatest stress on propeller
Centrifugal force
38
Force tends to bend propellers forward
Thrust bending force
39
Synchrophasing system allows pilot to reduce noose and vibration by
Adjusting the PHASE ANGLE between propellers
40
Centrifugal force acting on a propeller
Is greater than aerodynamic TWISTING force and tends to move the blade to a lower pitch angle
41
Repairs of nicks in aluminum prop must be made
Parallel to the length of the blade
42
Purpose of a 3 way propeller valve
Direct oil from the engine oil system to the propeller cylinder
43
Prepairing blade for inspection shouod be cleaned with
Mild soap and water
44
Primary purpose of a feathering propeller is to
Eliminate the drag created by a windmilling propeller when an engine fails in flight
45
How propeller speed governor on a turbo prop engine DECREASES RPM
By allowing oil to escape the propeller hub, driving the blades to an increase blade angle
46
Propeller aerodynamic "Thrust" imbalance can be largely eliminated by
Correct blade contouring and angle setting
47
Requires the use of propeller blade station
Measuring blade angle
48
How steel propeller hub be tested for cracks
By magnetic particle inspection
49
Function of automatic propeller synchronizing on multi engine is to
To control engine rpm and reduce engine vibration
50
Actuates pilot valve in the governor of propeller
Governor flyweights
51
Used to inspect aluminum propeller blade when crack is suspected
Dye penetrant
52
Distance a propeller moves through the air during one revolution
Effective pitch
53
Cold straightening an aluminum blade is accomplished by
A appropriately rated repair station or manufacturer
