I have some questions that a friend recently encountered on the ATPL Systems exam and had no idea where the answers were! Can someone help out (67 pilot, theory nut, CASA mole..) As always there were four answers but he couldn't remember them all. Would be good for others as well if some answers could be found as well as myself when I sit the exam in a few weeks! Thanks in advance!

1) Powerbraking systems are used:
- to use large fluid
- so return lines not needed
- to assist ABS

2) What controls do accelerometers use?

3) Cabin compressors in A/C pressurisation systems?
- cool air
- humidify
- ensure less eng. bleed air is used

4)Autopilot inputs are from:
- roll rate
- sideslip
- pitch
- airspeed

5) Batteries are in parrallel to achieve max:
- voltage
- capacity
- EMF
- omhage

6) When pneumatic system pressure low, what valve stops flow to the less essential items?
-shut off valve
-issolation valve

7) Oscilation stability decreases with altitude this is due to:
-reduced aerodynamic damping due to inc TAS
-increased aerodynmic damping due to dec TAS

8) The power supply to the autoland is:
