ANAC Flight Engineer Theoretical Exam (Mecânico de Voo) case studies
ANAC Flight Engineer Theoretical Exam (Mecânico de Voo) · Put your knowledge to work in context.
The ANAC Flight Engineer theoretical exam - Exame Teórico de Mecânico de Voo - is the knowledge test that the Brazilian civil aviation authority, ANAC, requires before a candidate can obtain the flight engineer licence (licença de mecânico de voo). The flight engineer is the crew member who monitors and manages aircraft systems in flight: engines, fuel, hydraulics, electrical generation, pressurization and air conditioning, and the associated abnormal and emergency procedures. The ANAC Flight Engineer Theoretical Exam (Mecânico de Voo) case studies are 5 cases and about 3,257 words.
1Cruise Fuel Penalty After a Bleed-Valve Fault at FL350
A twin-engine transport is cruising at FL350, Mach 0.78, gross weight 62 000 kg, with 9 400 kg of fuel on board. Forty minutes after top of climb the flight engineer notices that the left air-conditioning pack has been commanded off automatically; the associated bleed-valve indication shows closed while the right pack carries the full cabin heat load.

A regional turboprop is being loaded for a 1 h 20 min sector. The load sheet prepared by the dispatcher shows a takeoff weight of 19 800 kg against a maximum of 20 400 kg, with the centre of gravity at 22 % MAC; the forward limit is 18 % and the aft limit is 32 %.
657 words, about 3 min4Deferred Defect and MEL Interval on a Remote Turnaround
An aircraft arrives at a remote airfield with a defect in the left main landing gear position indication: the left gear-down-and-locked light does not illuminate, although the gear extends normally and the right and nose lights are correct. Maintenance at the station confirms the gear is physically down and locked by inspection and that the fault is in the indicating circuit, not the gear itself.
