- LANDING LIGHT - Landing switch
- TAXI LIGHT - Taxi switch
- NAVIGATION LIGHTS - Position switch
- STROBE LIGHTS - Strobe switch
- ANTI-COLLISION LIGHT - Beacon switch
- DOME LIGHT AND MAP READING LIGHTS - Rheostat knob and Rheostat knobs located on lights
- INSTRUMENT LIGHTS - Three rheostats knobs (FLIGHT, MISC and COM/NAV)
ENGINE (at standard sea level)
1. Horsepower
2. Max RPM
3. Fuel type
- 200 hp
- 2700 RPM
- Avgas 100LL (NATO CODE F18)
What is another name for:
1. Low RPM
2. High RPM
- Coarse pitch
- Fine pitch
What happens to the propeller in case of total oil pressure loss?
“In case of total oil pressure loss the propeller blades move into coarse pitch (low RPM), thus preventing engine over speed.”
What kind of fuel pumps are the engine equipped with?
- “An engine driven diaphragm fuel pump.”
- “An electrically driven auxiliary fuel pump”
ENGINE CONTROLS
Which engine controls are available?
- Throttle lever
- Propeller lever
- Mixture lever
- Friction lock
- Alternate air control
- Throttle lever LH
What increases when opening the throttle due to the constant speed propeller?
“Due to the constant speed propeller, opening of the throttle will increase the manifold pressure, not necessarily the RPM.”
DEFINITION OF NOTE
“An operating procedure, technique, etc., which it is considered essential to emphasize.”
“The propeller control has a detent in the high RPM portion of the operating range which allows for adjustment from ___ RPM to ___ RPM.”
2500 RPM to 2700 RPM
What does the mixture control lever do?
“Adjusts the air/fuel-ratio.”
“To move the control lever to the IDLE CUT- OFF position” what must be passed?
The detent in the rich portion of the operating range
In case of blocking of the induction air intake (ice formation, etc.) the air supply to the engine is automatically drawn from what and does this have any effect on engine performance?
“Air supply to the engine is automatically drawn from the engine compartment.”
“This alternate air supply, which is unfiltered, has only minor negative effect on the engine performance.”
In case of blocking of the induction air intake (ice formation, etc.), what can you select manually?
The alternate air by pulling the ALT AIR control
What does the starting system consist of?
A 24V electric motor
What is oil pressure measured in?
PSI (Pounds per Square Inch)
What is manifold pressure measured in?
Inches of mercury
What does the EGT indicator measure?
Exhaust gas temperature
What will show a false value during VHF-AM transmissions?
“During VHF-AM transmissions the EGT-indicator will show a false value caused by radiation from the VHF-AM transmitter.”
What type of oil system is used?
“Full pressure wet sump lubrication system, operated by a pump”
What is a normal amount of unusable fuel?
“2.5 US gallons (10 liters) per tank.”
From the OFF position, how do you select a fuel tank? and how do you turn it OFF again?
“From the OFF position the fuel tanks can be selected only by turning the fuel selector clockwise.”
“The OFF position can be selected only by turning the fuel selector counterclockwise with the center lock depressed.”
