Objective: One of the crucial Turbine Learning Process on how to start, run and shut down including necessary gauge and meter monitoring the turbine engine system using appropriate equipment I.A.W applicable manufacturer manual and assisted by an instructor or supervisor. Reference: 1. Engine Run Sheet 2. Allison 250 C18 Turboshaft Maintenance Manual Tools & Equipment: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Allison 250 C18 Battery Cart Ear Muff Overall / Jacket Safety Boots Chock Engine Run Sheet A Fire Extinguisher

Procedures: 1) Placing: i. Turbine engine mock up has been placed on engine test stand or designated area for ground run. ii. iii. The mock up has been lock using chain and chock A person has been position and in charge of fire extinguisher in case of emergency and iv. A battery cart has been plugged in. Note: To prevent fuel starvation at engine start and to prevent engine damage due to lack of lubricating oil at engine start, ensure that fuel and lubrication oil are available at the engine fuel and oil inlet ports. Dry Cranking: 1) Master Switch ON 2) Starter Switch ON 3) The Ignition Switch is Set OFF Position Dry Cranking is done in 30 second

2) Inspection: i. Inspect for any discrepancies and missing part. ii. All reading on mock up gauge have been recorded on Engine Run Sheet .

3) Starting: i. The Battery Cart has been switched On ii. iii. iv. v. The Master Switch has been switched On The Cooling Fan Switch has been switched On The Fuel Pump Switch has been switched On The Turbine Engine started : Pushing the Starter Switch (Igniter) for a few seconds Pushing Idle Throttle Forward

vi.

At 58% N1 speed (Idle Throttle), the start switch and Ignition Switch have been pressed to Cut OFF Starter and Ignition

vii.

The Engine should continue to Accelerate and Stabilize at 58% N1 speed (IDLE)

viii.

Oil pressure should be at least 50psi

4) Shutting Down: i. The N1 throttle lever has been placed to the ground idle (30%) position ii. iii. iv. v. The system has been stabilized at idle for two minutes The N1 throttle lever has been moved to the fuel CUT OFF (0%) position The test stand has been shut down All the switches on instrument panel have been turned OFF

Conclusion: Turbine Ground Run required an experience person to runs the engine and monitor every seconds of it, any careless action may eventually send the engine to major overhauling whereby every component is costly.
