Title: Explain turboprop engine operation.
Course: Aircraft Pilot Training I (20053-I) > Section: Examining Aircraft Instruments, Components, Systems, and Performance

Explanation should include the following:

- The turboprop engine consists of four sections.
  - The compressor section passes inlet air at a high rate of speed.
  - The combustion chamber contains the fuel inlet and igniter for combustion.
  - The expanding air drives a turbine, which is connected by a shaft to the compressor, sustaining engine operation.
  - The accelerated exhaust gases from the engine provide thrust.

- This is a basic application of compressing air, igniting the fuel-air mixture, producing power to self-sustain the engine operation, and exhaust for propulsion.
