The sea-level atmospheric pressure at "standard day" conditions is 14.7. Atmospheric pressure is the force exerted by the weight of the air above a certain point. At sea level, the average atmospheric pressure is 14.7 pounds per square inch (psi) or 1013.25 millibars (mb). This value is considered the standard atmospheric pressure and is used as a reference point for weather measurements and calculations.

When handling jet engine bearings, it is important to change cotton gloves frequently because they can get soaked with sweat. This is because the work environment of handling jet engine bearings can be physically demanding and cause sweating. If the gloves become soaked with sweat, they can become uncomfortable to wear and may affect the grip and dexterity required for handling the delicate bearings. Additionally, sweat-soaked gloves can also become unhygienic and increase the risk of contamination or transfer of dirt and oil onto the bearings, which could potentially cause damage.

A Category 1 DR is used to report a deficiency that, if uncorrected, will cause major loss or damage to equipment or a system. This means that the deficiency is critical and has the potential to result in significant harm or loss if not addressed. It is important to track and address these types of deficiencies to prevent any major damage or loss to the equipment or system.

The correct answer is a small gas turbine engine. This is because the question is asking about the JFS (Jet Fuel Starter), which is a type of engine used to start larger gas turbine engines. The JFS itself is a small gas turbine engine that provides the necessary power to start the main engine. It is not a piston type starter or a pneumatic type starter, as mentioned in the other options.

The pneumatic air bled from the small gas turbine engine cannot be used to inflate tires because the air bled from the engine is typically at a high temperature and pressure, which can cause damage to the tires. Additionally, the air bled from the engine may contain contaminants or impurities that can further affect the tire's performance. Therefore, it is not recommended to use this air source for inflating tires.

The primary goal of the ET&D program is to detect any decrease in performance or failures in turbine engines at an early stage. This allows for timely intervention and prevention of further damage to the engines. This goal is different from the other options provided, which focus on reviewing past accident reports, tracking components, and documenting specific conditions. The emphasis on early detection aligns with the objective of preventing or limiting damage to turbine engines.

The coded bands of colored tape placed around the tubing or hoses can be used to identify the various system lines used to transfer fluids and gases on jet engines. This method allows for easy visual recognition of the different lines, as each color represents a specific system. The use of colored tape eliminates the need for embossing specifications on the tubing or hoses, and it is a more practical and efficient way to differentiate between the lines compared to using different colors of tubing or hoses or relying on their orange color.

Participating units should accelerate engines, modules, and accessories 2 years ahead. This means that they should speed up the development and production of these components by 2 years in order to meet the desired timeline or target.

The divergent design of a diffuser increases air pressure. A diffuser is a device that is used to slow down and expand the flow of a fluid, in this case, air. The divergent design of a diffuser gradually increases the cross-sectional area, which causes the air to slow down and increase in pressure. This is because the increased area allows the air molecules to spread out, resulting in a decrease in velocity and an increase in pressure. Therefore, the divergent design of a diffuser increases air pressure.

In order for a straight piece of tubing to remain serviceable, a dent must be less than 20% of the tubing diameter. This means that if the dent exceeds 20% of the tubing diameter, it may compromise the integrity and functionality of the tubing. Therefore, it is important to ensure that any dents in the tubing are smaller than this threshold to maintain its serviceability.

When attempting to unfeather the 54H60-91 propeller in flight, the throttle must be positioned above FLT IDLE. This means that the throttle should be set to a higher position than the flight idle position.

The proper bolt length should allow a minimum of 2 threads protruding the nut. This is important for ensuring a secure and tight connection between the bolt and nut. Having at least 2 threads engaged provides enough engagement for proper load distribution and prevents the nut from easily coming loose. It also helps to prevent stripping or damaging the threads, which could compromise the integrity of the connection. Therefore, 2 threads is the minimum requirement for a safe and effective bolt and nut assembly.

Lockwiring is a method used to secure fasteners in place by twisting a wire around them. The proper stiffness is necessary to ensure that the fasteners do not loosen or come undone. In this case, the correct answer is 8-10 twists per inch. This means that for every inch of wire used for lockwiring, it should be twisted 8-10 times. This range of twists provides the right amount of tension and stiffness to keep the fasteners securely in place.

When an engine is not operating, static preload for a carbon seal is provided by spring pressure. This means that the carbon seal is compressed and held in place by the force exerted by a spring. This ensures that the seal remains in contact with the mating surface and prevents any leakage or loss of pressure. Spring pressure is a reliable and consistent method of providing the necessary preload for a carbon seal when the engine is not in operation.

In a simple AC generator, the slip rings are connected to the rotating loop, which produces an alternating current. The brushes make contact with the slip rings and transfer the current to the electrical device, allowing it to operate. The commutator is typically found in DC generators, not AC generators. Permanent magnets are used to create a magnetic field in the generator but do not directly transfer the current to the electrical device.

A propeller's axis of rotation extends 10 feet to the front and 5 feet from the rear.

Upon receiving an engine in the shop, one should inspect the compressor inlet. This is an important step to ensure that there are no blockages or damages that could affect the engine's performance. By inspecting the compressor inlet, any potential issues can be identified and addressed before further examination or repairs are conducted. It is a crucial part of the overall inspection process to guarantee the engine's proper functioning and prevent any potential damage or malfunctions.

The Journeyman must be aware of the corrosiveness of modern jet engine oil. Corrosiveness refers to the ability of a substance to cause damage or deterioration to materials it comes into contact with. In the case of jet engine oil, if it is corrosive, it can cause corrosion or erosion of the engine components, leading to potential malfunctions or failures. Therefore, being aware of the corrosiveness is crucial for the Journeyman to ensure the proper maintenance and safety of the aircraft.

The correct answer is "thimble". A micrometer is a precision measuring instrument used to measure small distances or thicknesses. The thimble is a rotating component of the micrometer that is adjusted to precisely measure the object being measured. By turning the thimble, the user can adjust the position of the spindle, which moves the measuring faces of the micrometer closer together or further apart, allowing for accurate measurements to be taken. The barrel and frame are other components of the micrometer, but they are not directly involved in the adjustment process.

It is positioned at the front of the engine to efficiently capture and guide the incoming air into the compressor section.

During synchrophaser governing, the master propeller controls the speed of the slave propellers. If the master propeller fails, the slave propellers will no longer be synchronized and will experience a slight speed change. This change is typically around 2% because the slave propellers are still able to maintain some level of synchronization without the master propeller. Therefore, the correct answer is about a 2% speed change.

Air Force instruction 21-101 defines quality maintenance and mandates maintenance personnel to exhibit integrity and adhere to all written guidance.

The stationary (stator) vane blades on the T56 compressor are used to increase pressure. These blades are strategically placed in the compressor to redirect the airflow and increase its pressure as it passes through. By creating a narrower passage for the air, the stator blades effectively squeeze the air molecules closer together, resulting in an increase in pressure. This increased pressure is essential for the efficient functioning of the compressor and the overall performance of the engine.

The operational control of the F108 engine is achieved through the use of the power lever, fuel shutoff lever, and the PMC (Power Management Computer). The PMC is responsible for monitoring and controlling various engine parameters such as fuel flow, thrust, and engine performance. It receives inputs from the power lever and fuel shutoff lever to adjust these parameters accordingly. Therefore, the PMC plays a crucial role in managing and controlling the operation of the F108 engine.

The engine remote trimmer allows for the adjustment of the fuel control without having to be physically under the engine. This means that the fuel control can be adjusted from a remote location, providing convenience and safety for the person making the adjustment.
