Difficulty: MediumDirect Fact Retrieval

Read the following technical maintenance passage:

During routine pre-flight inspections of tactical transport turboprop engines, maintenance personnel must examine the magnetic chip detectors installed in the reduction gearbox. If fine metallic fuzz is observed on the sensor plug, technicians are permitted to clean the magnetic probe with solvent and reinstall it. However, if distinct metal flakes measuring greater than 0.5 millimeters are discovered, the engine must immediately be removed from service and routed to the depot for comprehensive teardown.

Statement: Turboprop engines must be immediately removed from service if fine metallic fuzz is detected on the magnetic sensor plug.

Answer: Answer

Answer

False
The statement is false because the author explicitly notes that fine metallic fuzz warrants cleaning and reinstalling the probe. Immediate removal from service is only required when distinct flakes larger than 0.5 millimeters are found.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Locate the specific sentence in the passage that discusses fine metallic fuzz.
Found the explicit rule: 'If fine metallic fuzz is observed on the sensor plug, technicians are permitted to clean the magnetic probe with solvent and reinstall it.'
Direct fact retrieval requires identifying the exact condition and action specified in the text.
2
Compare the statement's claim with the explicit fact retrieved from the passage.
The statement claims that fine metallic fuzz requires immediate engine removal, directly contradicting the passage text which permits cleaning and reinstallation.
Evaluating a factual statement requires checking for consistency between the passage facts and the test assertion.
