FAA AMT (Aviation Maintenance Technician) Airframe Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 1030

An electrical type fuel quantity indicating system consists of

an indicator in the cockpit and a float operated transmitter installed in the tank

This is correct because an electrical type fuel quantity indicating system typically includes an indicator in the cockpit, usually on the instrument panel, and a float-operated transmitter installed in the fuel tank. The transmitter is responsible for measuring the fuel level and sending that information to the indicator in the cockpit.

Option B is incorrect because a manual gauge on the exterior of the tank requires a person to physically check the gauge and does not have the same level of accuracy as an electrical system.

Option C is incorrect because a digital display on the fuel pump only displays the fuel quantity at the pump, not in the tank.

Option D is incorrect because even if there is an automated system in place, it should still have a manual backup for safety and redundancy purposes.
