ADJ...that's right. Was before my time.

No, generally they ask about simple meter circuitry.

This past week I learned about the main fuel control, and how different parts of it provide governing and control though mechanical means. Amazing to me, to see how fuel pressure, air pressure, and RPM measurements can be used to give the same control as a feedback circuit on an electronic system.

Self-correcting power and rotor RPM design through a "carburetor". Who knew?!

The one thing that used to drive the nose-pickers crazy was the propeller control on P3 and C130 aircraft.
