9 Piston Engines Icing📄 Detailed Notes⚡ Cheat Sheet Results📄 Notes ⚡ Cheat Sheet📄 Notes ⚡ Cheat SheetQ1. Carburettor heating is generally not used with take-off and climb-power settings, because of the: Fire hazard involved Impossibility of engine supplying enough heat Loss of power and possible detonation Increased drag Q2. If the manifold pressure gauge of a piston engine shows an increase shortly after carburettor heater is turned on, it indicates: Excessive heat is being used Mixture was too lean Ice was forming in carburettor Overheating of cylinder walls Q3. When applying precautionary carburettor heating on a reciprocating engine with a fixed pitch propeller: The RPM decreases The mixture becomes leaner The RPM increases The mixture does not change Q4. When applying precautionary carburettor heating on a reciprocating engine with a fixed pitch propeller: The mixture becomes leaner The mixture does not change The mixture becomes richer The RPM increases Q5. When applying precautionary carburettor heating on a reciprocating engine with a constant speed propeller: The RPM decreases The RPM remains constant The RPM increases The mixture becomes leaner Q6. When applying precautionary carburettor heating on a reciprocating engine with a constant speed propeller: The mixture becomes richer The RPM increases The mixture becomes leaner The RPM decreases Q7. Which statement is true concerning the effect of the application of carburettor heat? it reduces the density of air entering the carburettor, thus leaning the fuel/air mixture it reduces the volume of air entering the carburettor, thus leaning the fuel/air mixture it reduces the density of air entering the carburettor, thus enriching the fuel/air mixture it reduces the volume of air entering the carburettor, thus enriching the fuel/air mixture Q8. Which of these statements is correct regarding piston engine induction system icing? Ice accretion affects both fuel systems and engines equipped with carburettors. Ice on the throttle valve is usually formed in the induction system of fuel injection systems. Fuel ice is normally formed in the induction system of fuel injection systems. Induction system icing affects only engines equipped with carburettors. Q9. The first indication of carburettor icing, in aeroplanes equipped with constant speed propellers, during cruise would most likely be a: decrease in rpm rough running engine followed by an increase in manifold pressure decrease in manifold pressure rough running engine followed by loss in rpm Q10. With respect to a piston engine aircraft, ice in the carburettor: will only form at OAT's below the freezing point of fuel will only form at outside air temperatures (OAT's) below the freezing point of water will only form at OAT's below +10°C may form at OAT's higher than +10°C Previous Submit The Test← Previous QuizNext Quiz →
