- APPENDIX 2. ICING CHECKLISTS › 1. Piston Aircraft › b. Taxi/Takeoff/In-Flight
preflight inspection, clean all ice, frost, and snow off the aircraft in accordance with the POH or AFM. (6) Check that pitot heat (and static heat if installed) are operable. (7) Check pitot/static openings, fuel drains, and stall warning sensors ... clogged with ice. (8) In accordance with the POH or AFM, cycle any deicing and anti-icing systems to check for proper operation. (9) Clear any accumulated ice or snow from brakes and wheel fairings. (10) Check controls externally…

Induction System Icing A short discussion concerning the formation and location of induction system ice is helpful, even though a technician is not normally concerned with operations that occur when the aircraft is in flight. [Figure 3-7] Technicians should ... know something about induction system icing because of its effect on engine performance and troubleshooting. Even when an inspection shows that everything is in proper working order and the engine performs perfectly on the ground, induction system ice can cause…

Induction System Troubleshooting Figure 3-8 provides a general guide to the most common induction system troubles. Supercharged Induction Systems Since aircraft operate at altitudes where the air pressure is lower, it is useful to provide a system for compressing ... fuel mixture. Some systems are used to normalize the air pressure entering the engine. These systems are used to regain the air pressure lost by the increase in altitude. This type of system is not a ground boost system…
