AF 201A Unit 15 Orientation Lesson 6 - Systems

The student will receive instruction on aircraft systems.

The student should have a full understanding of aircraft systems.

Flight Control Systems and Operation

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.
