    When must a new Health Indicator Test (HIT) baseline be established on a T700 turboshaft engine performance check?

    • After first flight.

    • During in flight check.

    • Before first engine start.

    • During initial ground run.

    Correct Answer
    A. During initial ground run.
    Explanation
    A new Health Indicator Test (HIT) baseline must be established during the initial ground run of a T700 turboshaft engine performance check. This is because the initial ground run provides an opportunity to assess the engine's performance and establish a baseline for future reference. It allows technicians to identify any potential issues or abnormalities before the engine is put into service. Establishing the HIT baseline during this stage ensures that accurate measurements and comparisons can be made during subsequent performance checks.

    Which aircraft/engine indication is not required for calculating T700 turboshaft engine performance?

    • Fuel flow (Wf).

    • Pressure altitude (PA).

    • Free air temperature (FAT).

    • Turbine gas temperature (TGT).

    Correct Answer
    A. Fuel flow (Wf).
    Explanation
    Fuel flow (Wf) is not required for calculating T700 turboshaft engine performance because fuel flow is a result of engine performance, not a parameter used to calculate it. Pressure altitude (PA), free air temperature (FAT), and turbine gas temperature (TGT) are all necessary factors in determining engine performance as they affect the engine's efficiency and power output. However, fuel flow is a measurement of the amount of fuel consumed by the engine, which can be determined once the engine performance is known.

    The H-60 helicopter auxiliary power unit’s (APU) control switch receives electrical power from the 

    • Alternating current (AC) primary bus.

    • Direct current (DC) primary bus.

    • DC secondary bus.

    • Battery bus.

    Correct Answer
    A. Battery bus.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is battery bus. The auxiliary power unit's control switch receives electrical power from the battery bus. This means that the APU can be powered even if the AC primary bus, DC primary bus, or DC secondary bus are not functioning or unavailable. The battery bus provides a direct source of power to the APU's control switch, ensuring that it can be operated independently of other electrical systems on the helicopter.

     If the engines and rotors on an H-60 helicopter are not running, you can operate the auxiliary power unit (APU) continuously up to temperatures of 

    • 21 degrees (°) Celsius (C).

    • 37 °C.

    • 51 °C.

    • 87 °C.

    Correct Answer
    A. 51 °C.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 51 °C. The explanation for this is that the auxiliary power unit (APU) on an H-60 helicopter can be operated continuously up to temperatures of 51 °C. This means that as long as the temperature does not exceed 51 °C, the APU can be used even if the engines and rotors are not running.
