Advantages and Disadvantages of Fuel Injected systems
Advantages:
- Better fuel flow/throttle response
- Easier cold wx starts
- No carb ice
- Mixture control
Disadvantages:
- More expensive/complex
- Hard hot starts
- Vapor lock on ground during hot day
Advantages and Disadvantages of Carburated Fuel systems
Advantages:
- Cheaper/simpler
Disadvantages:
- Icing
- Does not function well during abrupt maneuvers
- Low pressure discharges lead to partial vaporization

G430s are connected
Gets info from pitot tube and 2 static ports
What is one important thing to remember regarding the fuel when cross country planning?
Fuel flow will be higher than published because we do not lean the mixture

Quick change
You see BECMG (becoming) in a TAF, what does this mean?
Slow change
When is a TEMPO issued?
50 percent or greater change
wont last longer than 1.5 hours, and each wx event wont last longer than 1 hour
TAFs are issued ___ times a day and are valid for what period?
4x a day
24-30 hours
When looking at the aircraft mx logs, why are there stickers that say “Not Approved” ?
Because at L3 we have multiple people who work on our a/c so it says to look at the list of discrepancies…and this is where they are signed off and approved for return
