The student will receive instruction on aircraft systems.

The student should have a full understanding of aircraft systems.

• Flight Control Systems and Operation
• Propeller Aerodynamics
  • Tach
  • Constant Speed Setup
• Four Engine Strokes - Reciprocating Engine
• Ignition Systems
• Induction Systems
  • Induction icing
  • Carburetor Operation and Carburetor Heat
  • Fuel Injection Systems

Two types of induction systems are commonly used in small aircraft engines:

1. The carburetor system mixes the fuel and air in the carburetor before this mixture enters the intake manifold.
2. The fuel injection system mixes the fuel and air immediately before entry into each cylinder or injects fuel directly into each cylinder.
