Question 76Gas Turbine - 1st Asst/Chief

The correct answer is A) 1000 watt. When inspecting the combustion section of a gas turbine engine, a 1000 watt light source is recommended to provide sufficient illumination for a thorough inspection. This is in accordance with the guidance provided in the U.S. Coast Guard regulations for the inspection of marine gas turbine engines. The higher wattage light source allows the inspector to clearly see and evaluate the condition of the combustion section components, which is critical for the safe operation of the engine. The other options, such as 750 watt, 500 watt, or 250 watt, would not provide adequate lighting for a proper inspection of the combustion section and are therefore incorrect.
