1
Q
Carb Icing
A
- Apply full throttle.
- Carb heat hot/on, Pull knob full out.
- Once engine is running smoothly, carb heat cold/off and re-adjust throttle.
2
Q
Spark Plug Fouling
A
- Verify by momentary switching mags from both to either L or R.
- If obvious power loss, lean mixture.
- If problem does not clear up try richer mixture setting.
- If problem still does not clear up, proceed to nearest airport on both unless extreme roughness dictates use of single ignition position.
3
Q
Magneto Malfunction
A
- Sudden engine roughness, switch from both to either
L or R. - Try different power and mixture settings to determine if operation on both is practical.
- If not, switch to good magneto and proceed to nearest airport.
4
Q
Low Oil Pressure
A
- If loss of oil pressure is accompanied by normal oil temperature, a landing at nearest airport would be advisable.
- If low oil pressure is accompanied by high oil temperature, an engine failure is probably imminent. Reduce power immediately and look for a suitable forced landing site. Use only minimum power required.
5
Q
Insufficient Rate of Charge
A
- Shut down alternator.
- Shut down all non-essential equipment.
- Land as soon as practical.
