Which equipment is tested daily under LOQM?

• A. MRG, LSB, Steam Turbines
• B. Air compressors
• C. Generators
• D. Pumps

Answer: (A)

Daily LOQM testing focuses on propulsion and power systems that must be ready for operation. The set tested each day—main reduction gear, the lubrication/shaft bearing subsystem, and steam turbines—covers the heart of the propulsion train and its power source. These components are critical to getting underway and maintaining movement, and a quick daily check helps confirm they’re functioning correctly, catch developing issues early, and ensure safe, reliable start-up and operation. Other equipment like air compressors, generators, and pumps are important, but they’re typically scheduled on different LOQM cycles or checked through other maintenance tasks, so they aren’t designated for daily LOQM.
