When checking the turbine section, you do not measure
- A.
  
  Fan turbine inlet teperature (FTIT)
- B.
  
  Turbine inlet temperature(TIT)
- C.
  
  Exhaust gas temperature (EGT)
- D.
  
  Intake gas temperture (IGT)
Correct Answer
D. Intake gas temperture (IGT)

Explanation
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.
