Name: Date:

1. What is a test component?

2. What type of inlet is used on test cell for fan engine?

3. Why is it important to have bounce at both ends of control travel?

a) Comfort for the operator

b) To ensure the engine can reach full potential

c) To ensure the controls can reach full potential

d) To allow extra fuel flow

4. What is the purpose of the wet motoring run before testing an engine?

a) To check for leaks

b) To prime the lines

c) Check for pressure

d) All of the above

5. What is the purpose of the dry motoring run before testing an engine?
6. When an engine is shutdown after testing, what is checked on rundown?

7. Why do we check this?

8. Why is it important to let the engine run at idle for the specified length of time
before shutdown?

9. Are all type engines rigged the same way after testing? Why or why not?

10. What is the purpose of the minimum fuel flow adjustment?

a) To prevent flameout during deceleration

b) To act as a fuel shut-off

c) To establish fuel pressure

d) Restrict fuel flow

11. When the starter is engaged during the starting sequence, what are the first two
instrument indications that should be checked?

a) RPM and EGT

b) RPM and oil pressure

c) EGT and oil pressure

d) Fuel flow and EGT

12. Name one fail safe way of ensuring your safety and the safety of the company’s
assets before the initial test run of an engine in any test cell.
13. Engine instruments in the cockpit are classified as either performance
instruments or _________________ instruments.

14. The EPR and torque gauges are an example of an engine_________________


instrument.

15. The EGT gauge is an example of an engine ___________________ instrument.

16. Due to the lack of cooling air during starting, it is a critical time during which the
_________________ gauge must be closely monitored.

17. Regardless of the position of the thermocouple probe in the engine, its signal to
the cockpit ensures that safe ______________ _____________ temperature is
being maintained.

18. Because each EGT circuit must maintain a specific value, wire length cannot be
increased because it will induce:

a) High resistance

b) Low resistance

c) High amperage

19. Both types of tachometer indicating systems read out in _______________ RPM.

20. The two engine air pressure signals transmitted to the EPR system are:

a) Compressor ______________ pressure

b) Turbine _______________ pressure

21. The EPR indicator displays a numerical readout as an indication of engine


_________________.
22. The torque indication of an engine is most closely associated with the
___________________ output of the engine.

23. Fuel flow meters indicate its reading in ___________________. What units?

24. There are two common types of oil temperature indicating systems:

a) __________________ bulb type, 28 VDC powered.

b) __________________ probe type, self generating power.

25. The oil pressure transmitter receives two input signals from the engine lubrication
system, these signals are from the:

a) _________________ system

b) _________________ system

26. What is used in a test cell to provide resistance to the engine? (As the propeller
would do on wing)

27. Data on the engine performance that is received in the test cell is compared to
______________________________ before it gets returned to the customer.

28. On a PT6, changing the CT or PT vane class, (flow area) will have an effect on
what two parameters?

29. On a PT6, what are used to get a temperature reading at the power turbine?
30. What other factors may influence the performance of a gas turbine engine?
