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…

contaminated with exhaust gases. The heated air from the shell goes to the cabin heating, defrosting, and anti-icing system. Augmentors use exhaust gas velocity to cause airflow over the engine so that cooling is not entirely dependent ... closed to increase the heat for cabin or anti-icing use or to prevent the engine from cooling too much during descent from altitude. In addition to augmentors, some aircraft have residual heat doors or nacelle flaps that are used…
