At what stage is power dropped to semi power loads?

At what stage is power dropped to semi power loads?

• A. First stage
• B. Second stage
• C. Third stage
• D. Final stage

Answer: (B)

Power is brought to a moderate, controlled level early in the test sequence to verify control and response without stressing the machine. This intermediate point, the second stage, lets the system ride at a partial load long enough to observe stability, fuel-control behavior, and instrument readings, while avoiding the risks that come with full power. Once the unit performs reliably at this semi-power level, you progress to higher loads in the next stage and then to full-load testing.
