TURBINE ENGINE OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS AND ENGINE TEMPERATURE LIMITATIONS


TURBINE ENGINE OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
Because of the great variety of turbine engines, it is impractical to cover specific operational procedures. However, there are certain operational considerations that are common to all turbine engines. They are engine temperature limits, foreign object damage, hot start, compressor stall, and flameout.

ENGINE TEMPERATURE LIMITATIONS
The highest temperature in any turbine engine occurs at the turbine inlet. Turbine inlet temperature is therefore usually the limiting factor in turbine engine operation.
