Abstract

A system for a gas turbine engine includes an igniter event conductor. The igniter event conductor has a first portion adjacent an igniter of the engine and in a combustion chamber of the engine and a second portion apart from the igniter and apart from the combustion chamber. The conductor is adapted to conduct an aspect of an igniter event at the igniter from the first portion to the second portion. A sensor is coupled to the second portion of the conductor to sense the aspect of the igniter event.
