T-38C Talon Operations Limits Practice Test

During Military steady-state operation, what is the time duration (Minutes)?

15 Minutes 30 Minutes 60 Minutes 20 Minutes

Correct Answer:

30 Minutes

Explanation:

The main idea here is that each power setting in the operating limits has a defined endurance. Military steady-state means holding Military power in a steady, non-transient condition. It’s a high-thrust setting, but not the maximum, and it’s limited in time to protect engine and turbine windings from overheating and excessive wear. For the T-38C, that sustained MIL power duration is 30 minutes. So you can operate at Military power for up to half an hour before you’d need to step down or reassess power to stay within limits. The other time options don’t match the published endurance for Military steady-state operation.
