Sure was Pot Luck!!

What about the questions:

In a modern Jet aircraft, landing forces are dampened by what?

A.Nitrogen and viscous fluid
B.Nitrogen
C.Hydrogen
D.Oxygen

are they talking about what supports the weight of the aircraft?.......then it would be nitrogen only............or are they talkin about the whole events during a landing.............in which case it would be nitrogen and viscous fluid!!!!!!

What is shimmy?

A. potentially damaging vibration of the nose wheel
B. Movement of the nosewheel in the time between the input from the control wheel and the reaction of the wheels

Could be both id say but i went for A!!


Alternators are connected in?

A.Parallel
B.Series
C. Dependant upon engine
D. Dependant upon generator

I know generators are normally connected in parallel but the option of 'dependant upon the engine' is also a possibility!!


Why is the fuel pressurised before entering the pump?

A.to prevent pump cavitation
B.to prevent vapour locks

Could be either of the two again..........i went for pump cavitation myself.........but there is also a valid reason how it would prevent vapour locks!!


As Alex says: There should be one right answer and three wrong answers!!..............

In this exam, I just dont belive that was the case!!!! MOST UNFAIR!!!
