FAA AMT (Aviation Maintenance Technician) Airframe Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 1030

What effect does a restricted compensator port of a master cylinder have on a brake system?

Slow release of the brakes

A restricted compensator port of a master cylinder will lead to a slow release of the brakes. This is because the compensator port is responsible for allowing fluid to return to the master cylinder reservoir as the brakes are released. If this port is restricted, the fluid will have a harder time flowing back, causing a delay in the release of the brakes.

The other options are not directly affected by a restricted compensator port of a master cylinder. Increased brake pressure would typically be caused by a blockage or restriction in the brake lines, not the compensator port. Decreased fluid levels would likely be due to a leak in the system rather than an issue with the compensator port. And quick release of the brakes would generally be the result of a fully functioning compensator port, allowing for fluid to flow back easily when the brakes are released.
