Question 1
Hot spots seen on borescope inspection indicate malfunctions in which component group?
Correct Answer:
Fuel nozzles or other fuel system malfunctions
Explanation:
Hot spots seen on a borescope indicate abnormal high-temperature regions in the combustion zone, which almost always point to problems with fuel delivery and combustion rather than the structure being heated. When fuel is not delivered correctly—such as a damaged or clogged fuel nozzle, improper spray pattern, or fuel-control issue—the fuel-air mixture becomes uneven. This can cause localized combustion extremes where certain areas burn hotter, showing up as hot streaks on the inspection. That’s why the fuel nozzles and other fuel system components are the most likely source of the hot spots. Issues with the combustion chamber lining would show heat damage or wear patterns, but they don’t typically create the hot spots observed unless the combustion itself is already abnormal. An air intake filter primarily affects airflow and overall performance, not the localized hot spots caused by fuel distribution. Downstream turbine blade problems would manifest differently and are not the typical cause of hot spots in the combustion zone.
Question 2
The ingestion of contaminants affects which sections of the gas turbine engine?
Correct Answer:
Both the compressor and turbine sections
Explanation:
Contaminants carried in the intake air travel through the entire engine flow path, so both the compressor and the turbine feel their effects. In the compressor, abrasive particles erode blades and vanes, cause deposits on surfaces, and disrupt airflow, lowering compression efficiency and potentially leading to performance issues or surge. As the contaminated air proceeds to the turbine, remaining particles can erode and hot-chemically corrode turbine blades and nozzles, clog cooling passages, and create deposits that upset aerodynamics and cooling effectiveness. Because these contaminants ride along with the air from intake to exhaust, they impact both sections, making the choice that involves both compressor and turbine the best answer.
Question 3
Which item is NOT among the five loads acting on main engine bearings?
Correct Answer:
Oil Pressure Fluctuations in the Lubrication System
Explanation:
The thing being tested is what kinds of forces bearings actually have to support. Main engine bearings carry forces that come from the engine’s rotating parts and its operating environment: the rotating mass adds a static radial load, changes in power and thrust create axial forces along the shaft, and vibrations from the air flow, the aircraft, and the engine itself produce dynamic loads on the bearings. Oil pressure fluctuations in the lubrication system don’t constitute a bearing load in the same sense; they affect lubrication quality and film thickness, influencing wear and heat, but they aren’t a separate external force the bearing must resist.
Question 4
What evidence is typically required to certify an overhaul as airworthy?
Correct Answer:
OEM-approved maintenance documentation, NDT results, measurements, photos, test run data, and authorized sign-offs.
Explanation:
When determining airworthiness after an overhaul, the key idea is that the overhaul must be shown to meet approved procedures and standards through a complete, auditable evidence package. The required materials include OEM-approved maintenance documentation that specifies exactly what was done and how, NDT results to verify structural integrity, measurements to confirm tolerances, photos for traceability of workmanship, test run data to prove functional performance, and authorized sign-offs to document accountability and compliance. Together, these elements demonstrate that the overhaul was performed to the approved data and is safe to return to service. Vendor marketing materials don’t verify actual workmanship or compliance with approved procedures. Pilot flight logs show flight activity, not the validation of maintenance work. Warranty claim forms are about post-sale coverage, not certifying airworthiness after an overhaul.
Question 5
In overhaul documentation, what is the role of non-destructive examination (NDT) reports?
Correct Answer:
Provide non-destructive examination results supporting component integrity.
Explanation:
NDT reports in overhaul documentation capture the findings from methods that inspect a part without damaging it, such as ultrasonic, eddy current, magnetic particle, or dye penetrant testing. The key point is that these reports document whether the component remains within required integrity limits by recording indications, their location and size, the acceptance criteria used, and the inspector’s conclusions. This information provides the evidence needed to decide if a part can be repaired, reused, or must be rejected, and it also creates traceability for future audits and airworthiness compliance. In addition, the report usually notes the testing procedures, equipment calibration, and reference standards used, so the integrity assessment is verifiable. Lubrication schedules, engine serial numbers, and the color of coatings are not the purpose of NDT reports; lubrication planning, identifiers like serial numbers, and coating appearance are documented in other parts of the overhaul records.
