energy necessary to accomplish work. Driven by a revitalization of the general aviation (GA) industry and advances in both material and engine design, reciprocating engine technology has improved dramatically over the past two decades. The integration of computerized engine management…
- Chapter 7: Aircraft Systems › Reciprocating Engines
integration of computerized engine management systems has improved fuel efficiency, decreased emissions, and reduced pilot workload. Reciprocating engines operate on the basic principle of converting chemical energy (fuel) into mechanical energy. This conversion occurs within the cylinders of the engine…
- Chapter 4: Energy Management: Mastering Altitude and Airspeed Control › Chapter Summary
results in the airplane hitting the ground regardless of what the pilot does. Chapter Summary Every pilot is an energy manager—managing energy in the form of altitude and airspeed from takeoff to landing. Proper energy management is essential ... desired vertical flightpath and airspeed profiles in everyday flying. It is also critical to flight safety since mistakes in managing energy state can contribute to loss of control inflight (LOC-I), controlled flight into terrain (CFIT), and approach and landing…
