The power used up by friction and other losses in the engine
The actual amount of power delivered to the propeller shaft
What does a high performance piston aircraft use to control engine temperature?
Wing flaps
Cowl flaps
Fuel injection
Thermostat
Which of the following is an advantage of the horizontally opposed engine?
Highest power to weight
Good ground clearance
Lower vibration
Best cooling
And engine's best SFC (specific fuel consumption) will happen at what speed?
Approximately 85% of max rated power
Approximately 75% of max rated power
Approximately 75% of max rated engine speed

The goal of ignition timing is to:
Complete combustion with the result of having the lowest possible pressure in the cylinder just after TDC (top dead center)
Complete combustion with the result of having the maximum pressure in the cylinder just after TDC (top dead center)
Ignite the air/fuel with the result of having maximum power extraction competed by BDC (bottom dead center)
Achieve the highest possible fuel efficiency from the engine without leading to reliability problems
Which of the following can cause pre-ignition?
Excessive warm up time for the engine during ground operations
Poor cleaning practices on the cylinder assembly
Poor cleaning practices on the spark plugs
Failure to change the engine oil as frequently as specified
In aviation what is the unit of Torque (t)?
Ft-lbs/sec
N-m
Ft-lbs
M-s
