Hard Question For Ignation

1. For starting a turbine engine, the fuel cock should initially be in a position dependent on the fuel system and open. 2. On ignition, the gas temperature will rise rapidly then fall as rpm increases to idle. 3. A safety feature used to prevent pneumatic starters from overspeeding if inlet air does not stop on time is a stator nozzle design that regulates airflow and stabilizes turbine wheel speed.

1. For starting the engine, the h.p cock should be initially.

a. In a position which depends on the fuel system.


b. Open.
c. Closed.

2. On light up, the gas temperature will.


a. Rise slowly.
b. Rise rapidly, then fall as rpm increases to idle.
c. Rise rapidly.

3. A safety feature usually employed in pneumatic starters that is used to prevent the
starter from reaching burst speed if inlet air does not terminate on schedule is the.
a. Stator nozzle design that chokes airflow and stabilizes turbine wheel speed.
b. Drive shaft shear point.
c. Spring coupling release.
Explanation. Jeppesen a&p technician propulsion textbook 8-49.

4. A safety feature usually employed in pneumatic starters that is used if the clutch does
not release from the engine drive at the proper time during start is the.
a. Spring coupling release.
b. Drive shaft shear point.
c. Flyweight cutout switch.
Explanation. Jeppesen a&p technician propulsion textbook 8-49.

5. Generally, when removing a turbine engine igniter plug, in order to eliminate the
possibility of the technician receiving a lethal shock, the ignition switch is turned off
and.
a. Disconnected from the power supply circuit.
b. The transformer exciter input lead is disconnected and the center electrode grounded to
the engine after disconnecting the igniter lead from the plug and waiting the prescribed time.
c. The igniter lead is disconnected from the plug and the center electrode grounded to the
engine after disconnecting the transformer-exciter input lead and waiting the prescribed time.

6. What is the first engine instrument indication of a successful start of a turbine engine?.

a. A rise in the engine fuel flow.


b. A rise in oil pressure.
c. A rise in the exhaust gas temperature.

7. A glow plug operates.


HARD QUESTION Page 1
a. Manually.
b. By heat action.
c. Electrically.
Explanation. The extreme heat of the plug ignites the fuel. It is powered by electricity. See
jeppesen aircraft gas turbines page 11-9.

8. Where does the high voltage type turbine ignition receive its voltage pulse from?.
a. Primary windings.
b. Rectifier.
c. Trigger transformer.
Explanation. Rolls royce the jet engine fig 11-12 shows an ac system. This uses a transformer to
generate the high voltage at the discharge gap.

9. On a gas turbine engine dc starting circuit, if there is an open circuit on the contact of
the over speed relay.
a. Starter motor will stop only when starter switch selected off.
b. Starter motor will continue to run for 30 sec and then stop.
c. No power supply is connected to the starter motor.
Explanation. Refer fig 11-3 rolls royce the jet engine. The main relay cannot close if the
overspeed relay is open.

10.When 'blow out' is selected on the gas turbine engine starting circuit.
a. The starter motor is stopped when starter switch selected off or when the timer switch
cuts out.
b. The over-speed relay will de-energise the starter circuit.
c. Ignition is continuously on.
Explanation. Refer fig 11-3 rolls royce the jet engine. The blow out circuit is used to blow out
any jet pipe fire. In this mode there is no ignition or fuel hence the starter cannot overspeed.

11.When an engine being started by an air starter reaches self sustaining speed.
a. The motor is disconnected by the flyweight cut out switch.
b. The starter valve is disconnected by the fly weight cut-out switch in the air starter.
c. The motor is disconnected by the pilot.
Explanation. Jeppesen aircraft gas turbine powerplants page 10-9 refers.

12.When reconnecting a h.e.i.u , which cable must be reconnected first?.


a. It makes no difference.
b. L.t before h.t.
c. H.t before l.t.

HARD QUESTION Page 2


Explanation. This is the reverse of disconnecting, when l.t is isolated and then disconnected
first.

13.An aircraft flying through heavy rain may use, as a precaution.


a. Airframe deicing.
b. Engine intake deicing.
c. Continuous ignition.
Explanation. Continuous ignition is used in case of flame out caused by the inclement weather.

14.The starter light is on during a start cycle (low voltage electrical starter).
a. Indicates electrical power is flowing to the starter.
b. If the light stays on after 30 seconds action is required.
c. This is normal for 30 seconds, take no action.
Explanation. See the rolls royce jet engine low voltage starter system on page 123. The indicator
light indicates power to the igniter. The full current time switch cuts out the circuit after a
period of time.

15.A d.c starter motor disconnects due to.


a. Current decreasing switching off an overspeed relay.
b. Current increasing switching off an overspeed relay.
c. A centrifugal switch that acts like an overspeed relay.
Explanation. Same starter circuit reference as above. As the starter accelerates drawn current
reduces and causes the overspeed relay to drop out.

16.What is the purpose of the current limiting resistor in a starter circuit?.


a. To prevent the starter from over speeding in the final phase of starting.
b. To provide overall control of the the speed of the starter.
c. To prevent an initial current surge.
Explanation. The starter motor is protected from excessive current until the timer
shorts out the resistor. See rr the jet engine page 123.

17.On a low energy dual ignition system (<3 joules), if a relight is necessary.
a. It occurs automatically.
b. The pilot selects both ignitors.
c. The pilot selects one of the two ignitors.
Explanation. Normal low/high systems have a choice of low or high energy ignition with high
being used for relight. In these systems the pilot can choose 1, 2 or both.
