- Chapter 7: Aircraft Systems › Fuel Systems › Fuel System Icing
entrained water that collects at the bottom of a fuel tank. Free water is usually present in easily detected quantities at the bottom of the tank, separated by a continuous interface from the fuel above. Free water can be drained ... drains useless and can later melt releasing the water into the system thereby causing engine malfunction or stoppage. If such a condition is detected, the aircraft may be placed in a warm hangar to reestablish proper draining of these reservoirs…
- Chapter 3: The Learning Process › Perceptions
base their actions on the way they believe things to be. The experienced AMT, for example, perceives an engine malfunction quite differently than does an inexperienced learner. This occurs because the beginning aviation learner is overwhelmed by stimuli and often ... missing key information. It is important for the instructor to direct trainee’s perceptions initially so that the learner detects and perceives relevant information. Real meaning comes only from within a person, even though the perceptions, which evoke these meanings…
- Chapter 18: Emergency Procedures › System Malfunctions › Electrical System
System Malfunctions Electrical System The loss of electrical power can deprive the pilot of numerous critical systems, and therefore should not be taken lightly even in day/visual flight rules (VFR) conditions. Most in-flight failures of the electrical system ... years, its power may be reduced substantially because of internal resistance. Or if the system failure was not detected immediately, much of the stored energy may have already been used. It is essential, therefore, that the pilot immediately shed…

Celsius and Fahrenheit. It provides the outside or ambient air temperature for calculating true airspeed and is useful in detecting potential icing conditions. Fuel Injection Systems In a fuel injection system, the fuel is injected directly into the cylinders ... source is usually operated automatically, with a backup manual system that can be used if the automatic feature malfunctions. A fuel injection system usually incorporates six basic components: an engine-driven fuel pump, a fuel-air control unit, a fuel…
