What do you need to remember about fuel grades when flying.
Use of the next higher-than-specified grade of fuel is permissible if the specified grade of fuel is not available.
If you are slipping into a left turn, what would happen to the balance indicator?
It would also fall to the left.
If the engine oil temperature and cylinder head temperature gauges have exceeded their normal operating range, you may have been:
operating with too much power and with the mixture set too lean.
In a prolonged descent from high altitude, why should you periodically increase the throttle setting for a short period of time?
To prevent ‘shock cooling’ of the aircraft engine.
During flight, the static port becomes blocked. As you start your descent, what effect will this have on your VSI (Vertical Speed Indicator)?
It will cause the VSI to read zero.
Two batteries, each of 12 volts, when connected in parallel would provide an output of:
12 volts.
The chemically correct mixture (ccm) for gasoline/diesel based fuels is also referred to as the stoichiometric mixture. What is this mixture?
1 part fuel, 14.7 parts air by weight.
