Figure 14-71. A fuel tank transmitter for a capacitance-type fuel quantity indicating system. Figure 14-72. The capacitance of tank probes varies in a capacitance-type fuel tank indicator system as the space between the inner and outer ... compensator unit installed inside a wing tank. A fuel totalizer is part of the capacitance-type fuel quantity indication system. It is used to add the tank quantities from all indicators. This total aircraft fuel quantity can be used…

compressed air. Sometimes, it is utilized to operate pressure gyro instruments. The components for pressure systems are much the same as those for a vacuum system as listed below. Other times, the pressure developed by the vacuum ... vacuum instruments. As long as the engine operates, the relatively simple vacuum system adequately spins the instrument gyros for accurate indications. However, engine failure, especially on single-engine aircraft, could leave the pilot without attitude and directional…

devices indicate only that a system is functioning or has failed to function. On some aircraft, a warning light illuminates when the fuel pressure or oil pressure is low. Reciprocating Engine Operation The operation of the powerplant is controlled ... positions of the levers. In some installations, friction clutches are installed to hold the controls in place.
