FAA AMT (Aviation Maintenance Technician) Airframe Practice Exam

Where can instructions concerning the type of fluid and amount of air pressure to be put in a shock strut be found?

1. In the aircraft manufacturer's service manual

2. In the aircraft operational manual

3. In federal aviation regulations

4. On the information placard inside the cockpit

The correct answer is: In the aircraft manufacturer's service manual

The correct answer is A. In the aircraft manufacturer's service manual. This is where detailed instructions regarding the type of fluid and amount of air pressure to be put in a shock strut can be found. The service manual provides specific and accurate maintenance procedures recommended by the aircraft's manufacturer to ensure safe and proper operation of the aircraft. The aircraft operational manual may contain general information about the shock strut but not the detailed maintenance instructions. Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs) do not typically specify such detailed maintenance procedures. Information placards inside the cockpit usually provide general information or emergency procedures but may not include specific details on shock strut maintenance.
