Gas Turbines USCG Question #519 (Set 9)

Why is safety-wiring, or lock wiring of gas turbine parts required?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — Prevent disengagement of parts.

Safety-wiring is a critical maintenance practice in high-vibration environments like gas turbine engines. It provides a positive mechanical lock to prevent fasteners from backing out due to thermal cycling and vibration, ensuring that components remain securely attached and preventing foreign object damage (FOD) within the engine.
