With a hyd lock there is:
- Aflow, but no jack movement
- Bno flow but jack continues to move under gravitational effects
- Cno flow, jack is stationary
Why that is the answer
A hydraulic lock happens when trapped incompressible fluid cannot flow away from an actuator.
With no path for the fluid to move, the jack is effectively locked in position.

What is an accumulator mainly intended to do?
- Arelieve excess pressure
- Bhold hydraulic fluid under pressure
- Cstore compressed gas for tyre inflation
Why that is the answer
An accumulator is like a hydraulic battery: it stores hydraulic fluid under pressure for later use.
It can also smooth pressure fluctuations and provide a short reserve if pump output is unavailable.

With a one way check valve (NRV):
- Aflow stops when input pressure is higher than output pressure
- Bflow starts when input pressure is below output pressure
- Cflow stops when input pressure is below output pressure
Why that is the answer
A non-return valve is a one-way door for hydraulic fluid.
It permits flow in the intended direction and closes when the downstream pressure would otherwise force fluid backwards.

Frequently asked
How many Airframes and Systems questions are there for the DGCA CPL Technical General paper?
Avielevate's bank carries 176 published Airframes and Systems questions for Technical General, mapped across 6 learning objectives. Every one has its answer key, and explanations are being written across the whole bank.
How much of the Technical General paper is Airframes and Systems?
The DGCA does not publish a per-chapter breakdown of its papers, so nobody can honestly tell you — and we will not guess. What we can tell you is what students who have just sat a paper reported meeting, which is measured rather than rumoured: that is the exam recall report inside the app.
What is the best way to revise Airframes and Systems?
Sit a short timed set on this chapter alone, tag how sure you were of each answer, then drill the two that actually leak marks: the ones you got right while guessing, and the ones you got wrong while confident. Avielevate does that tagging for you and puts anything you got wrong back in front of you on a spaced schedule.
