All of the options listed below are proper troubleshooting practices except
- A.
Checking the applicable trouble areas
- B.
Understanding the fucnction of each engine unit
- C.
Performing easy checks, then going to more difficult checks
- D.
Inspecting other areas after isolating the trouble between points
Correct Answer
D. Inspecting other areas after isolating the trouble between pointsExplanation
Inspecting other areas after isolating the trouble between points is not a proper troubleshooting practice because it can lead to wasting time and resources.

Which jet engine temperature is not measured?
- A.
Exhaust gas
- B.
Turbine inlet
- C.
Combustion inlet
- D.

- A.
Is a rigid rotor system
- B.
Is both a rigid and flexible system
- C.
Functions as a flexible rotor system
- D.
Acts as an unmeasurable rotation system
Correct Answer
C. Functions as a flexible rotor systemExplanation
The forces acting to create vibration in a jet engine present a highly complex pattern because the main rotor functions as a flexible rotor system. This means that the main rotor is not rigid and can bend or flex under the forces and stresses it experiences during operation. This flexibility allows the rotor to absorb and dampen vibrations, reducing the overall vibration levels in the engine. Therefore, the complex pattern of forces acting on the engine is a result of the rotor's ability to flex and adapt to the dynamic operating conditions.Rate this question:

- D.
Displacement may be the same in two completely differnt problems
Correct Answer
D. Displacement may be the same in two completely differnt problemsExplanation
When conducting vibration analysis, it is necessary to measure all parameters to identify a vibration source because displacement alone may not provide enough information. Displacement refers to the distance an object moves from its equilibrium position during vibration. However, different vibration sources can result in the same displacement, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of the vibration. By measuring all parameters such as frequency, amplitude, and phase, a more comprehensive analysis can be performed, allowing for a more accurate identification of the vibration source.Rate this question:

When checking the turbine section, you do not measure the intake gas temperature (IGT). The turbine section of a turbine engine is responsible for extracting energy from the hot gases produced by the combustion process. To monitor the performance and health of the turbine section, various temperatures are measured, such as the fan turbine inlet temperature (FTIT), turbine inlet temperature (TIT), and exhaust gas temperature (EGT). However, the intake gas temperature (IGT) is not typically measured in this context.Rate this question:

Which F-16 operational check allows you to start the jet fuel satrty (JFS) without advancing the throttle to idle or supplying fuel to the aircraft engine?
- A.
Dry motoring
- B.
Wet motoring
- C.
Bleed schedule
- D.
Interface operational
Correct Answer
A. Dry motoringExplanation
Dry motoring is the correct answer because it is an operational check that allows starting the Jet Fuel Start (JFS) without advancing the throttle to idle or supplying fuel to the aircraft engine. This check is performed to ensure that the JFS is functioning properly and can provide the necessary airflow and pressure to start the engine. By using dry motoring, the JFS can be tested without the risk of starting the engine or introducing fuel into the system.Rate this question:

Prior to starting the engine when doinga n anti-ice valve operational check on an F-16C/D, place the anti-ice engine switch to
- A.
ON
- B.
OFF
- C.
START
- D.
MANUAL
Correct Answer
D. MANUALExplanation
The correct answer is MANUAL. Prior to starting the engine, when performing an anti-ice valve operational check on an F-16C/D, the anti-ice engine switch should be placed in the MANUAL position. This allows the pilot to manually control the anti-ice valve and ensure its proper functioning before starting the engine.Rate this question:

- A.
2
- B.
4
- C.
6
- D.
8

Where are the primary silencers positioned on an aircraft noise suppressor?
- A.
Near the bleed area
- B.
To the rear exhaust area
- C.
Against the aircraft fuselage
- D.
Forward of the bleed exhaust area
Correct Answer
C. Against the aircraft fuselageExplanation
The primary silencers on an aircraft noise suppressor are positioned against the aircraft fuselage. This placement allows them to effectively reduce and absorb the noise generated by the engines before it reaches the surrounding environment. By positioning the silencers against the aircraft fuselage, the noise can be contained and minimized, contributing to a quieter flying experience for passengers and reducing noise pollution in the surrounding areas.Rate this question:

To how many minutes should engine operation in afterburner to be limited when the engine is operated in the aircraft noise suppressor?
- A.
2
- B.
3
- C.
4
- D.
5
Correct Answer
D. 5Explanation
In the given question, the correct answer is 5. This implies that the engine operation in afterburner should be limited to 5 minutes when the engine is operated in the aircraft noise suppressor. This limitation is likely due to the fact that afterburner operation generates excessive noise, which is undesirable in certain situations. By limiting the afterburner operation to 5 minutes, the aircraft can effectively suppress noise levels and comply with noise regulations.Rate this question:
