120.

Equivalent shaft horsepower (ESHP) of a turboprop engine is a measure of

A. turbine inlet temperature.

B. shaft horsepower and jet thrust.

C. propeller thrust only.

Answer (B) is correct (AFNA Chap 2)

121. What effect will an increase in altitude have upon the available equivalent
shaft horsepower (ESHP) of a turboprop engine?

A. Lower air density and engine mass flow will cause a decrease in power.

B. Higher propeller efficiency will cause an increase in usable power (ESHP)

and thrust.

C. Power will remain the same but propeller efficiency will decrease.

Answer (A) is correct (AFNA Chap 2)

122. Minimum specific fuel consumption of the turboprop engine is normally

available in which altitude range?

A. 10,000 feet to 25,000 feet.

B. 25,000 feet to the tropopause.

C. The tropopause to 45,000 feet.

Answer (B) is correct (FTP Chap 6)

5.20 Compressor Stall

123. What characterizes a transient compressor stall?

A. Loud, steady roar accompanied by heavy shuddering.

B. Sudden loss of thrust accompanied by a loud whine.

C. Intermittent "bang," as backfires and flow reversals take place.

Answer (C) is correct (AFNA Chap 2)
124. What indicates that a compressor stall has developed and become steady?
A. Strong vibrations and loud roar.

B. Occasional loud "bang" and flow reversal.

C. Complete loss of power with severe reduction in airspeed.

Answer (A) is correct (AFNA Chap 2)
