A.250 hours
B.500 hours
C.1,000 hours
D.1,500 hours
Explanation: Under 14 CFR § 63.33(b), an applicant must have at least 500 hours of flight time as a flight engineer or pilot in 3-engine or 4-engine aircraft, or meet alternative military/educational qualifications.
6A flight engineer holding a Turbojet rating who wishes to add a Turboprop rating (FEP) must meet which of the following requirements?
A.Complete a full 500-hour flight apprenticeship on turboprop aircraft only
B.Pass the official FAA FEP Knowledge Test and pass a practical test on a turboprop aircraft or approved flight simulator
C.Retake the basic Flight Engineer Basic (FEB) knowledge test along with a 100-hour dual instruction flight log
D.Obtain an ATP certificate with a turboprop type rating prior to taking the FEP knowledge test
Explanation: Under 14 CFR § 63.42, adding a class rating (such as Turbopropeller) to an existing Flight Engineer Certificate requires passing the specific class knowledge test (FEP) and successfully completing the practical test for that class.
7If an applicant fails an FAA Flight Engineer Knowledge Test, what requirement must be met before re-taking the examination within 30 days of the failure?
A.The applicant must wait a mandatory 60 days regardless of additional training
B.The applicant must present a written endorsement from an authorized instructor certifying that additional instruction has been given
C.The applicant must pay a double examination fee and register directly with the FAA regional office
D.The applicant must complete 10 hours of flight simulator training logged by an air carrier check airman
Explanation: 14 CFR § 63.39 states that an applicant who fails a test may reapply after 30 days, or sooner if they present an endorsement from an authorized instructor certifying that additional instruction has been provided and the applicant is ready for retesting.
8Under 14 CFR § 63.12, refusal to submit to a chemical test for alcohol or drug concentration when requested by a law enforcement officer is grounds for:
A.A mandatory 14-day administrative suspension of the flight engineer certificate
B.Denial of an application for any certificate or rating, or suspension/revocation of any existing certificate issued under Part 63
C.A civil fine up to $1,000 payable to the Department of Transportation without certificate action
D.Mandatory re-examination on the Flight Engineer Basic knowledge test within 90 days
Explanation: 14 CFR § 63.12(b) establishes that refusal to submit to a test to determine alcohol or drug concentration is grounds for denial of an application for any airman certificate/rating or suspension/revocation of any issued certificate.
9What is the official FAA minimum passing score threshold for the Flight Engineer Turboprop (FEP) Knowledge Test?
A.65%
B.70%
C.75%
D.80%
Explanation: Under 14 CFR § 63.35 and FAA knowledge testing standards, the minimum passing grade for all flight engineer knowledge examinations, including FEP, is 70%.
10Which three engine class ratings may be placed on an FAA Flight Engineer Certificate under 14 CFR § 63.41?
A.Single-Engine, Multi-Engine, Turbopropeller
B.Reciprocating engine powered, Turbopropeller powered, Turbojet powered
C.Piston, Turbofan, High-Bypass Jet
D.Group I Propeller, Group II Jet, Group III Transport
Explanation: 14 CFR § 63.41 explicitly lists the three official class ratings for a Flight Engineer Certificate: Reciprocating engine powered, Turbopropeller powered, and Turbojet powered.

About the FAA Flight Engineer Turboprop (Added Rating) Exam

The FAA Flight Engineer Turboprop (Added Rating) Knowledge Test (FEP) is designed for certificated flight engineers holding a Reciprocating or Turbojet rating who wish to add a Turboprop rating to their FAA Flight Engineer Certificate under 14 CFR Part 63. The test evaluates knowledge of turboprop engine thermodynamics, reduction gearboxes, propeller pitch governors, beta range taxi operations, electrical/pneumatic systems, fuel cross-feed, weight & balance, and engine-out procedures.

FAA Flight Engineer Turboprop (Added Rating) Study Tips from Top Performers

1Master propeller governor principles: Know how speeder spring tension, flyweight centrifugal force, and hydraulic oil pressure interact during overspeed, underspeed, and feathering.
2Understand Beta vs. Alpha modes: Distinguish between pilot-controlled blade pitch in Beta range (ground taxi/reverse) and governor-controlled pitch in Alpha range (flight).
3Practice numerical calculations: Work through % MAC weight & balance formulas, CG shifts, torque power settings vs ambient temperature, and specific fuel consumption.
4Review Part 63 administrative rules: Know certificate validity, temporary certificate duration (120 days), change of address notification (30 days), and medical certificate expiration rules.
