EM Final Review Part 1/3

1. (15.4) An unbalance in the compressor assembly of a gas turbine engine must be corrected by two-plane
balancing.

2. (15.18) Airflow through and around APU engine is such that a portion of the air intake is diverted to cool the APU
compartment.

3. (15.11) The general principal of fuel control is to meter fuel through a variable flow orifice such that a bypass
valve maintains a constant pressure differential across the valve.

4. (15.17) With respect to a turbo shaft engine driving a helicopter rotor, the power-turbine governor and
tachometer drive assembly is located on the accessory gearbox.

5. (15.2) EPR valves for a high-bypass engine are generally in the range 1-2.

6. (15.21) The motoring wash is generally done by turning the engine with engine ignition turned off.

7. (15.1) During the working cycle of a gas turbine engine, higher flame temperatures are found than the piston
engine counterparts.

8. (15.7) Multi-tube exhaust nozzle gives the largest noise reductions by increasing the overall diameter of the
suppresser.

9. (15.4) On a stage-to-stage comparison, a axial-flow compressor has lower pressure ratio and is less robust than
an centrifugal compressor.

10. (15.5) In some types of combustion chambers, fuel is injected upstream of the primary combustion zone. This
applies to annular combustion chamber.

11. (15.8) True or false?

Axial gas loads act rearward on the compressors and turbine.(False)

12. (15.4) Allowable repairs to stator van and compressor case are such that surface cracks are weld-repaired.

13. (15.21) The video imaging system used with horoscope inspection has a tiny CCD sensor in the tip of the
probe.

14. (15.4) The cause for a compressor surge to happen is airflow too high relative to engine RPM.

15. (15.14) The scale on a RPM indicator of turbo-jet engine is calibrated from 0 to 100% of optimum turbine speed
of 4200 RPM at generator drive.

16. (15.18) True or false?

Both the EGT AND hourmeter indication may affect the service life of the engine.(TRUE)

17. (15.19) A QEC unit is an engine with the exhaust system, nose cowl and some accessories.

18. (15.10) The total loss system of oil lubricating is generally used for booster and vertical lift engines.

19. (15.3) The ideal inlet duct should have a long length to accomplish the process of diffusion.

20. (15.10) With respect to a hot tank lubrication system, oil from the boost pump is directed to an air-oil cooler
and then to bearing and gears.

21. (15.17) In some turbine helicopters, the Engine monitoring system (EMS) installed acquires vibration and
tachometer signals for health monitoring.

22. (15.15) The water injection method can boost up a high power for takeoff.

23. (15.11) Valid inputs to the full-authority EEC include service air-bleed status, total air pressure.

24. (15.21) When an engine is being started to idle, the change in gas turbine shaft RPM (delta Ng) goes slightly up.
This symptom is typical of hot start or very near hot start.

25. (15.15) The after-burning system consists of fuel nozzle manifold, flame stabilizer, nozzle operating sleeve and
variable propelling nozzle.

26. (15.14) Conventionally, the fuel flow indicating on transport aircraft employs a turbine-driven transmitter
generating an analogue signal to electronic circuits.
27. (15.22) As part of the preservation process, you attach a label to the fuel metering unit. This is to show the type
of inhibiting oil used and the date the system inhibited.

28. (15.13) When air starter are used to dry motor gas turbine engines, they must observe duty cycle limits as
stated in the maintenance manual.

29. (15.14) If a mandarin trimming resistance is used in a chromel/alumel thermocouple system, it must be
contained in the chromel lead.

30. (15.19) The drain mast installed in gas turbine engines serve to keep kerosene, lubricating oil and most
hydraulic fluids from hot surfaces.
