FAA AMT (Aviation Maintenance Technician) Airframe Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 1030

What happens if fluid is added to a nonpressurized reservoir in a constant pressure hydraulic system while the system is pressurized?

The fluid level decreases when system pressure is reduced

No change in the fluid level

The fluid level increases when system pressure is reduced

Adding fluid to a nonpressurized reservoir in a constant pressure hydraulic system while the system is pressurized will cause the fluid level to increase when the system pressure is reduced. This is because the increase in fluid volume due to the added fluid will cause the fluid level to rise in the reservoir when the system pressure decreases. Option A is incorrect because the fluid level does not decrease when system pressure is reduced, it remains the same. Option B is incorrect because adding fluid will cause a change in the fluid level. Option D is incorrect because the system will not automatically adjust and maintain the fluid level, it will need manual adjustment.
