AMP - Aviation Maintenance Technician Powerplant Practice Exam

The five events of a four-stroke cycle engine in the order of their occurrence are:

1. intake, ignition, compression, power, and exhaust

2. intake, compression, power, ignition, and exhaust

3. intake, compression, ignition, power, and exhaust

4. compression, intake, power, exhaust, ignition

The correct answer is: intake, compression, ignition, power, and exhaust

The events in a four-stroke cycle engine occur in a specific order to convert fuel into energy. Option A is incorrect because ignition happens before compression, not after. Option B is incorrect because ignition happens before power, not after. Option D is incorrect because power and exhaust both come after the compression and ignition stages. The correct order is to begin with the intake stage, followed by compression, ignition, power, and finally exhaust. This results in an efficient and continuous cycle. Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
