Vocabulary: Engine Problems

Flashcards on this page

This page includes a 17-card interactive flashcard deck. Here’s a taste:

• engine failure — An engine stops producing thrust. Just after takeoff it is a Mayday: the aircraft is low, slow, and has lost a large part of its performance.
• engine fire — A fire warning on an engine. The crew shut the engine down, discharge the fire bottle, and land as soon as possible.
• fire bottle — A built-in fire extinguisher that the crew discharge remotely into an engine to put out a fire.

Members study all 17 cards — flip, shuffle and star them, and review each one with spaced repetition on the Study dashboard, timed for just before it fades.
