If there is a drop in auxiliary power unit (APU) bleed air pressure or a rise in turbine inlet temperature (TIT) on another engine when the start switch is depressed, you know
- A.
  
  Air is reaching the starter.
- B.
  
  The starter control valve is not opening.
- C.
  
  The air portion of the start system is working.
- D.
  
  The electrical portion of the system is working.
Correct Answer
A. Air is reaching the starter.

Explanation
When there is a drop in auxiliary power unit (APU) bleed air pressure or a rise in turbine inlet temperature (TIT) on another engine when the start switch is depressed, it indicates that air is reaching the starter. This suggests that the air portion of the start system is working properly, as the air is able to reach the starter. The other options can be ruled out because they do not explain the observed changes in APU bleed air pressure or turbine inlet temperature.

What will the temperature datum (TD) valve do if there is an open circuit between the coordinator and the TD amplifier?
- A.
  
  Go to full “put.”
- B.
  
  Go to full “take.”
- C.
  
  “Take” 0 percent.
- D.
  
  “Take” 10 percent.
Correct Answer
B. Go to full “take.”

Explanation
If there is an open circuit between the coordinator and the TD amplifier, it means that there is no electrical connection between the two. In this case, the temperature datum (TD) valve will go to full "take." This means that the valve will fully open in order to allow the maximum amount of temperature control fluid to flow, as there is no signal or control coming from the coordinator.

Compressor blade failure usually occurs near the
- A.
  
  Mid-span of the blade.
- B.
  
  Platform of the blade.
- C.
  
  root of the blade.
- D.
  
  tip of the blade.
Correct Answer
C. root of the blade.

Explanation
Compressor blade failure usually occurs near the root of the blade because this is the area where the blade is subjected to the highest stress levels. The root of the blade is where it is attached to the rotor or disk, and it experiences significant centrifugal forces and bending moments during operation. These forces can lead to fatigue and stress concentration, making the root of the blade more susceptible to failure compared to other areas such as the mid-span or tip.

Bearing failure from moisture, lack of protective oils, improper handling, and improper storage could cause
- A.
  
  Corrosion pitting.
- B.
  
  Fatigue pitting.
- C.
  
  Brinelling.
- D.
  
  Skidding.
Correct Answer
A. Corrosion pitting.

Explanation
Corrosion pitting occurs when moisture, lack of protective oils, improper handling, and improper storage lead to the degradation of the bearing surface. This degradation results in localized areas of corrosion, which can cause small pits or craters on the surface of the bearing. Fatigue pitting, on the other hand, is caused by repeated stress cycles and is not related to moisture or improper handling. Brinelling refers to permanent indentation caused by excessive load or impact, while skidding refers to sliding motion between the bearing and its mating surface.

Turbine rotor blade failure usually occurs near the
- A.
  
  Mid-span of the blade.
- B.
  
  Platform of the blade.
- C.
  
  Root of the blade
- D.
  
  Tip of the blade.
Correct Answer
A. Mid-span of the blade.

Explanation
Turbine rotor blade failure usually occurs near the mid-span of the blade. This is because the mid-span region of the blade experiences the highest levels of stress and strain during operation. The forces acting on the blade are distributed unevenly, with the mid-span experiencing the greatest bending and torsional loads. Additionally, the mid-span is subjected to aerodynamic forces that can cause fatigue and damage over time. Therefore, failures are more likely to occur in this region compared to other areas such as the platform, root, or tip of the blade.
