Questions and Answers

What is the function of the engine speed governor?

  • To increase engine speed
  • To maintain a steady governed state (correct)
  • To decrease engine speed
  • To control the fuel flow

How does the pilot servo valve rod affect roller cage position?

  • By restricting air/fuel ratio changes
  • By moving the pilot valve rod downwards
  • By moving to the left
  • By compressing a spring (correct)

What happens when the power lever is moved in an increase direction?

  • The pilot servo valve rod moves upwards
  • The roller moves down the incline plane
  • The flyweights move to an over-speed condition
  • The spring cap moves up the pilot servo valve rod (correct)
