Engine Gas Turbines (Supplementary) USCG Question #178 (Set 5)

It is good engineering practice for you to review the machinery history of an engine before an borescope inspection for all EXCEPT which of the following reasons?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — A torque multiplier.

A torque multiplier is a mechanical tool used to increase output torque, not a component of the gas turbine engine itself. Reviewing machinery history focuses on operational data, previous maintenance, and known issues to guide the borescope inspection, whereas a torque multiplier is irrelevant to the engine's historical performance.
