Module 15 — Gas Turbine Engine

15.8 — Bearings and Seals

Practice questions test what you know. This note teaches what you don’t.

Question banks train recall. The questions that decide a pass are the borderline ones, where two answers look right — and those are won by understanding. That is what this note is written for.

Inside this note

Locked

Bearings and seals are critical components that support the rotating assemblies, maintain oil-air separation, and prevent hot gas ingestion into bearing chambers. Although they are small compared to the compressor or turbine, bearing or seal failure can cause rapid and catastrophic engine failure. This section is applicable to B1.1/B1.3 candidates only.
