What is the maximum continuous operating time for a J-85 engine being run in Afterburner (MAX) Power?
-
5 minutes
-
4 minutes
-
3 minutes
-
6 minutes
Correct Answer
A. 5 minutesExplanation
The correct answer is 5 minutes. This is the maximum continuous operating time for a J-85 engine being run in Afterburner (MAX) Power. Afterburner is a mode in which additional fuel is injected into the exhaust stream of a jet engine to provide extra thrust. However, running the engine in this mode for too long can cause excessive heat buildup and potential damage to the engine components.

An engine compressor stall is caused by an interruption of compressor air flow and is identified by a loud pop and bang.what cockpit indications will occur?
-
Engine speed reduction and an increase in EGT.
-
Engine speed reduction and a decrease in EGT.
-
Engine speed reduction with no change in EGT.
-
Engine speed increase and an increase in EGT.
Correct Answer
A. Engine speed reduction and an increase in EGT.Explanation
During an engine compressor stall, there is an interruption in the flow of air through the compressor. This can lead to a decrease in engine speed as the compressor is not able to maintain the required airflow. Additionally, the interruption in airflow can cause an increase in exhaust gas temperature (EGT) as the fuel-air mixture is not being properly compressed and burned. Therefore, the correct answer is engine speed reduction and an increase in EGT.Rate this question:
