What method is used on turbine powered aircraft to determine when the condition of the fuel is approaching the danger of forming ice crystals?

  1. Fuel temperature indicator

  2. Viscosity check

  3. Pressure differential measurement

  4. Fuel color inspection

The correct answer is: Fuel temperature indicator

On turbine powered aircraft, the method used to determine when the condition of the fuel is approaching the danger of forming ice crystals is through the fuel temperature indicator. This indicator helps alert the flight crew or maintenance personnel when the fuel temperature is dropping to a level where ice crystal formation may occur. Monitoring the fuel temperature is crucial to ensure the safe operation of the aircraft and prevent any potential issues related to ice formation in the fuel system. Options B, C, and D are not the correct methods for determining the formation of ice crystals in the fuel of turbine powered aircraft. Viscosity check, pressure differential measurement, and fuel color inspection are important aspects of fuel system maintenance and monitoring, but they are not specifically designed to indicate the approach of forming ice crystals in the fuel.
