Flight engineer written question

[Abe Froman]

I am taking my FE written in a few days and I downloaded the FEX question bank from the FAA. Around question 130 it starts asking question about piston engines and props. Here is the link -

I thought the FEX was only for turbojets. What am I missing?

Thanks,

Abe

Hey Abe,

The FEX written will ask those questions because you can be issued an FE certificate for piston, turbo propeller or turbo jet ratings depending on what A/C your are getting your FE rating in. It essentially asks everything to cover all basis. I took the FE written three times years ago since it had kept expiring. Each time I can't remember being asked a prop question. Lots of W & B stuff though. Also it depends, I guess, who administers the exam, Sylvan, Lasergrade, ect.

Good Luck

Deltoid,

Thanks for the reply. The other thing that is throwing me off is that I have the red Gleim book for the FE and those questions are not in it.

...To much studying lately and it's hard to think clearly.
