AS ROTATION STOPS, NUETRALIZE RUDDER AND MAKE A SMOOTH RECOVERY FROM THE RESULTING DIVE.

Question 18

How do you clear out ice if a gradual loss of RPM is noted due to suspected carburetor icing?

Answer 18

Apply full throttle and pull the carburetor heat knob full out until the engine runs smoothly.

If conditions require continued use of carburetor heat in cruise flight, use the minimum amount of heat necessary to prevent ice formation and lean the mixture slightly for smoothest engine operation.

Question 19

What can you do if you encounter engine roughness in flight due to spark plug fouling?

Answer 19

Turn the ignition switch momentarily from BOTH to either L or R positions. An obvious loss of power in single ignition operation is evidence of spark plug or magneto trouble.

Assuming that spark plugs are the likely cause, lean the mixture to the recommended cruise flight setting. If the problem persists after several minutes, determine if a more rich mixture produces smoother operation. If not, proceed to nearest airport using the BOTH position of the ignition switch unless extreme roughness dictates the use of a single ignition position.

Question 20

What is spark plug fouling?

Answer 20

Caused by one or more spark plugs becoming fouled by carbon or lead deposits.

Question 21

What can you do if you encounter engine roughness due to magneto malfunction?

Answer 21

A sudden engine roughness or misfiring is usually the evidence of magneto problems.

A switch from BOTH to either a L or R ignition switch position will identify which magneto is malfunctioning.
Select different power settings and enrichen the mixture to determine if continued operation on BOTH magnetos is practicable. If not, switch to the good magneto and proceed to the nearest airport for repairs.
