|
| 8. |
These precautions are listed in the technical manual for the engine you are working on.
|
|
| 9. |
Turbine exhaust gases are low enough in temperature and velocity that exhaust areas are not hazardous.
|
|
| 10. |
Cadmium plated tools are permissible for use on gas turbine engines.
|
|
| 11. |
Metals subject to high temperatures must not be marked with a lead pencil.
|
|
| 12. |
If combustion chamber parts have been exposed to fuels containing tetraethyl lead, anyone handling them should wear gloves and a face mask.
|
|
| 13. |
Lubricating oil requires no special precautions.
|
|
SECOND GROUP
Testing an engine is a necessity, both before it is sent to the user and after it is in use. Evaluate the following statements by marking them True or False.
|
| 14. |
The engine manufacturer runs the engine in a test cell before it is shipped to the user.
|
|
| 15. |
When an engine is run in a test cell, different demands are placed on it than when it is installed on an aircraft.
|
|
| 16. |
Ambient temperature and pressure affect the weight of the air entering the engine.
|
|
| 17. |
No corrections of engine problems are made during testing.
|
|
| 18. |
An engine may also be tested by a mobile engine test unit.
|
|
| 19. |
If an engine fails a test run in a test cell, not only is it disassembled and checked for faults, but many previous engines are also.
|
|
| 20. |
Engine information obtained during testing does not become a part of the engine record.
|
|
THIRD GROUP
About cleaning compressor rotor blades, the reference text tells you that:
|
| 21. |
The temperature-sensing element on the T53 engine is cleaned with a spray of clean, fresh water.
|
|
| 22. |
A steady increase in EGT during normal operation is one indication that the compressor rotor blades may need cleaning.
|
|
| 23. |
If the engine has been operating in salt-air areas, spraying it with fresh water is all the cleaning necessary.
|
|
| 24. |
Always refer to the TM for the specific engine to find the exact procedure for cleaning it.
|
|
| 25. |
The T53 engine does not have to be run after it is cleaned.
|
|
| 26. |
The engine TM specifies a definite performance point at or below which the compressor blades must be cleaned.
|
|
FOURTH GROUP
These statements are on gas turbine engine overhaul and repair, storage, and preservation. Evaluate them by marking them True or False. |
| 27. |
An engine does not go into the flyable storage category until it has not been operated for six days.
|
|
| 28. |
After the TBO for an engine is established, it is not changed.
|
|
| 29. |
No special tools are needed to disassemble an engine.
|
|
| 30. |
Permanent storage is a depot-level function.
|
|
| 31. |
When disassembling or assembling an engine, instructions in the TM must be followed precisely.
|
|
| 32. |
The degree of preservation of an engine is governed by the length of time it is expected to be in storage.
|
|
FIFTH GROUP
Which of the following statements agree with the information on engine vibrations given in your text? |
| 33. |
Forced vibrations are invariably caused by improper assembly of the components.
|
|
| 34. |
In a gas turbine engine, imbalance of rotating parts is the main cause of vibrations.
|
|
| 35. |
A vibration transducer is used to analyze the force generated by the amount of imbalance and the rotating speed.
|
|
| 36. |
Imbalance is measured in mils.
|
|
| 37. |
The Engine Vibration Test Data Sheet gives the figures for maximum permissible engine vibration.
|
|
| 38. |
Externally excited vibrations may also be caused by imbalance of rotating engine components.
