B. assist blade to move to fine pitch. Q. 61.The holding coil of a hydromatic propeller
C. counteract CTM. feathering button switch holds a relay closed that
Page
Correct Ans- counteract CTM. applies power to the propeller.

A. dome feathering mechanism.
B. feathering pump motor.

C. governor.
Correct Ans-feathering pump motor.

Explanation. The feathering pump is required as the
existing pressure from the engine will be decaying.
The pump is held energised until the prop feather
switches sense that the propeller has reached the
feather position.
Q. 62.The primary purpose of the front and rear

cones for propellers that are installed on splined
shafts is to.
A. prevent metal-to-metal contact between the
propeller and the splined shaft.
B. reduce stresses between the splines of the
propeller and the splines of the shaft.
C. position the propeller hub on the splined shaft.
