INDUCTION SYSTEMS PURPOSE
INDUCTION SYSTEMS
The purpose of the induction system is to bring outside air into the engine, mix it with the fuel in the proper proportion, and deliver it to the cylinderswhere combustion occurs. Your control over the amount of fuel and air that is introduced into the engine cylinders is maintained by two controls in the cockpit - the trottle and the mixture. The trottle controls engine speed by regulating the amount of fuel and air mixture that flows into the cylinders, while the mixture controls the fuel/air ratio.

Induction Systems
Many training airplanes are equiped with a fixed-pitch propeller. A typical power plant control arrangement for these type of aircraft is shown below.
Airplanes With A Fixed Pitch Propeller have Trottle and tachometer, mixture
* Engine speed is controlled by* the trottle and displayed on a tachometer in revolutions per minute (r.p.m.).
Other airplanes may use a more efficient constant-speed propeller that is adjustable from the cockpit.
Airplanes With A Constant-Speed Propeller have Trottle and Manifold Pressure, Propeller Control and Tachometer, Mixture
This type of airplane employs three powerplant controls. Movement of the propeller control sets the engine r.p.m. The trottle controls engine outputengine output as reflected on a manifold pressure gauge. The gauge displays the pressure on the fuel/air mixture inside the intake manifold in inches of mercury (in. Hg.).
Both types of systems have a mixture control which is used to maintain the proper blend of fuel and air.

Intake Port
Intake Port - Outside air enters the induction system through an intake port at the front of the engine compartment. This port normally contains an air filter that inhibits the entry of dust and other foreign objects. Since the filter may occasionally become clogged, an alternate source of air must be available, Usually, the alternate air comes from inside the engine cowling where it bypasses a clogged air filter. Some alternate air sources function automatically, while others operate manually.
