ABSTRACT:
A method for testing an igniter coupled within a gas turbine engine, wherein the gas turbine engine includes a combustor, a pressure transducer coupled to the combustor, and a spark detector. The method includes operating the gas turbine engine, monitoring the operating pressure within the gas turbine engine, operating the igniter when the monitored pressure is within a first predefined pressure range, and generating a first indication if the igniter failed to generate a spark within the first predefined pressure range.
