A series vs a parallel battery start will be:

Slower with a higher engine start temperature peak
Faster with a lower engine start temperature peak
The same

The fuel tank cross feed function is used for:

Transferring fuel from one tank to the other
Feeding an engine from the opposite tank
Balance fuel quantity in the tanks after uneven pressure refueling.

If start locks are not engaged during the engine shut down procedure, the propeller will:

Remain in fine pitch
Move towards feather
Continue to rotate for longer

If start locks are not engaged during the engine shut down procedure, the crew can:

Manually move the blades to feather
Use the unfeather pump to put propeller onto the start locks
Start up the engine in feather and follow the correct shut down procedure

Sticky start locks can be disengaged when the engine is running by:

Lubricating them during engine run
Inserting a piece of locking wire to hold them out
Increasing engine RPM using the speed lever and trying again

A vibrating propeller must be balanced in order to prevent:

Discomfort for the passengers due to excessive noise and vibration
Damage to sensitive instruments in the cockpit, especially gyros
Damage to internal gearbox gears and bearings leading to SOAP alerts

The function of the feather valve is to:

Feather the engine during start
Block oil pressure from leaving the propeller dome back to the oil tank
Dump propeller dome oil to the oil tank allowing the propeller to feather

An auto start uses which components to control FF and IGN:

The fuel shutoff valves
The pressurizing valves
The speed switches

As oil temperature increases, its effect on oil pressure is as follows:

No effect as the oil pressure regulator compensates the output
Pressure rises
Pressure falls due to lower viscosity of hot oil

A rise in oil temperature together with a drop in oil pressure is a sign that:

Nothing is wrong, the engine is operating normally within its parameters
There is low oil quantity in the tanks and it must be filled at the next stop
There could be an internal engine problem heating the oil causing a pressure drop due to lower viscosity.

An oil temperature system gauge error can be checked:

On ground before start with cold engines
In flight with cold engines on the first flight of the day
By using a digital multi meter to check that the system voltage is balanced

A sudden higher-than-normal engine oil temperature during flight, when all other parameters remain the same, is most likely due to the following:

All the oil has leaked out of the oil cooler
The indicator needle is stuck in the high oil temperature position
High system resistance has introduced an oil temperature gauge error

Which of the following annunciator lights are red:

OIL, DOOR, BATT TEMP
FUEL PRESS, OIL, DOOR
OIL, BATT HOT, SMOKE

Yes, provided it’s a type II turbine engine oil, they can be interchanged

When will the oil vent valve open during the engine starting phase?

0-55% RPM
10-55% RPM

Fire bottle pressure range is between 100 and 700 bar depending on the OAT

During the engine starting cycle, at the moment of depressing the start switch, the current flowing through the starter generator is:

Highest
Lowest
The same as throughout the start

After starting the engine, if the yellow “IGN” light remains on this means:

Immediate ITT, RPM, FF drop after activating the STOP switch
Immediate ITT, RPM, FF rise after activating the STOP switch
ITT, RPM rise and FF drop after activating the STOP switch, and an audible change in the engine sound.

The correct functioning of the engine fuel purge system is important because:

It burns excess fuel in the nozzles to prevent clogging
It prepares the engine for the next auto start sequence
It purges the excess fuel from the nozzles back to the fuel tank

The correct procedure to extinguish an engine tail pipe fire is:

Shut down the affected engine and immediately depress the engine START switch to blow out the fire.
Pull the affected fire handle and turn to activate the bottle. Evacuate the aircraft immediately.

When on ground with no boost pumps on, the feeder tank will be:

Empty
Full
Same level as the main tank

If both boost pumps fail during flight, the following statement is true:

The engine will continue running, but un-useable fuel quantity in the tank will increase
There is a danger of the engine shutting down; land as soon as practical

With 1,200lbs total fuel showing on the gauges, and the “LH FUEL QTY” light illuminates, crew should:

Ignore the warning, as it must be a false reading as the fuel gauges show sufficient fuel

Transfer fuel from the opposite fuel tank until the low level light goes off

Failing fuel quantity probes can:

Cause the fuel gauges to over read the fuel quantity
Cause the fuel gauges to under read the fuel quantity
Cause the fuel gauges to get stuck and not move

If both boost pumps on one side have failed during flight, what will happen to the engine?

If the engine torque indication suddenly reads 20% lower, but the FF, ITT and RPM indications remain the same:

The torque indication system is not accurate due to a single gauge being affected
The engine has lost 20% torque, therefore crew should advance the power lever to compensate
The engine is experiencing an actual loss of power as the torque gauge is showing lower torque.

If the engine torque indication is suddenly 20% lower with a corresponding reduction in FF and ITT:

The torque indicating system is not accurate due to multiple gauges being affected
The engine is experiencing an actual reduction of power due to multiple gauges confirming a change in power output
Adjust torque as necessary using the engine power lever

Before any engine start, crew must first turn the propellers by hand to check:

That the engine not binding before engaging the starter
