Sample Questions

Question 1
What is the primary difference in power source between a turbocharger and a mechanical supercharger in piston aircraft engines?
A turbocharger is driven by engine exhaust gases, whereas a supercharger is mechanically driven by the engine crankshaft
A turbocharger is driven by an electric motor, whereas a supercharger uses hydraulic fluid pressure
A turbocharger is gear-driven from the accessory gearbox, whereas a supercharger utilizes ram air pressure
A turbocharger operates using engine oil pressure, whereas a supercharger is powered by cabin bleed air
Question 2
How is 'critical altitude' defined for a turbocharged piston aircraft engine?
The maximum altitude at which a turbocharged engine can produce its maximum rated sea-level manifold pressure at full throttle
The altitude at which the wastegate opens completely to prevent cylinder overpressurisation
The minimum altitude required for the turbocharger intercooler to operate efficiently
The altitude at which the engine transitions from rich to lean mixture auto-metering
Question 3
What happens to engine manifold pressure during a climb above the critical altitude with full throttle selected?
Manifold pressure decreases continuously as ambient atmospheric density decreases
Manifold pressure remains constant up to the aircraft service ceiling
Manifold pressure increases rapidly due to colder ambient air entering the compressor
Manifold pressure fluctuates violently due to differential pressure controller lockout
Question 4
What is the primary function of an intercooler (charge air cooler) in a turbocharged engine installation?
To cool compressed intake air, increasing charge air density and reducing the risk of engine detonation
To cool turbocharger bearing oil before returning it to the engine oil sump
To condense moisture out of induction air to prevent fuel injector icing
To warm incoming ram air using turbine exhaust gas before it enters the compressor
Question 5
What is the function of the wastegate in a turbocharged aircraft piston engine?
To regulate the volume of exhaust gas directed through the turbocharger turbine, controlling compressor output pressure
To dump excess induction manifold air directly overboard during engine deceleration
To vent unburned fuel vapor out of the exhaust pipe during engine shutdown
To bypass high-pressure oil around the turbocharger bearing assembly during cold starts
