Performance and engine handling

Question 1

Supercharger

Answer 1

A Compressor that sends air to the intake manifold, allowing sea level pressurized air in higher altitudes

Question 2

At low idle RPM for long periods, there is a risk of

Answer 2

Spark plugs fouling.

Question 3

Taxiing over rough ground can

Answer 3

Damage the propellor, by hitting long grass and other stuff on the ground. High throttle may compress the nose wheel, the propeller will be lower

Question 4

Run-ups on stony surfaces can lead to

Answer 4

Stones entering the propeller flying by the strong airflow and vortices

Question 5

If oil pressure is shown 0 and oil temp. is normal that means

Answer 5

Probably the oil pressure gauge is faulty. If there’s a decrease in oil, the oil temp would rise

Question 6

Turbocharger

Answer 6

Works like supercharger but with a turbine that is using the exhaust to spin
