These
are the questions, answers, and explanations,
that you will be asked on your FAA written exams,
as taken from the FAA's actual question pool.
Each written test will include a selection of
these actual questions. Each test guide gives
you the complete pool of questions, along with
the correct answer, an explanation, and a reference
to where in the text material that specific
topic is covered. Sample questions and projects,
along with passing standards from the oral and
practical exams are also covered in each volume.
Once
a student is comfortable with the material
from the textbooks and/or classroom situations,
these test guides are considered by many as
the ideal method for preparing for the final
FAA exams.

b - shot peening
c - tempering
answer - "A"

engine is made of a steel alloy forged with
its inner surface and hardened to reduce wear.
On hardening method used is nitriding. In
this process the cylinder is heated and exposed
