What is the primary purpose of the compressor section in a turbine engine?
Correct!
Wrong!
The compressor increases air pressure for efficient combustion.
Which type of engine uses a propeller to convert shaft power into thrust?
Correct!
Wrong!
Reciprocating engines are common in smaller aircraft and rely on propellers.
What is the function of the turbine section in a turbofan engine?
Correct!
Wrong!
The turbine extracts energy from hot gases to drive the compressor and fan.
Which condition would likely cause a hung start in a turbine engine?
Correct!
Wrong!
A hung start occurs when the engine fails to reach idle RPM due to insufficient airflow or fuel.
What is the purpose of the oil cooler in an aircraft engine?
Correct!
Wrong!
Oil coolers maintain optimal oil temperature to prevent breakdown and ensure lubrication.
Which component is responsible for mixing fuel with air in a reciprocating engine?
Correct!
Wrong!
The carburetor or fuel injector ensures the correct fuel-air ratio for combustion.

What does a hot section inspection (HSI) focus on in a turbine engine?
Correct!
Wrong!
The hot section includes components exposed to high temperatures and stresses.
What is the primary cause of detonation in a reciprocating engine?
Correct!
Wrong!
Detonation occurs when fuel burns uncontrollably due to excessive heat/pressure.
Which tool is used to measure blade tip clearance in a turbine engine?
Correct!
Wrong!
Blade tip clearance affects engine efficiency and must be within tolerances.
