  Chapter 7: Aircraft Systems › Heating System › Fuel Fired Heaters

  become knowledgeable about the heating system. Each has different repair and inspection criteria that should be precisely followed. Fuel Fired Heaters A fuel fired heater is a small mounted or portable spaceheating device. The fuel is brought to the heater ... aircraft. Most gasoline heaters can produce between 5,000 and 50,000 British Thermal Units (BTU) per hour. Fuel fired heaters require electricity to operate and are compatible with a 12-volt and 24-volt aircraft electrical system. The heater…

  Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Performance › Straight-and-Level Flight

  remain in steady, level flight, equilibrium must be obtained by a lift equal to the aircraft weight and a powerplant thrust equal to the aircraft drag. Thus, the aircraft drag defines the thrust required to maintain steady, level flight ... prevail. The unaccelerated condition of flight is achieved with the aircraft trimmed for lift equal to weight and the powerplant set for a thrust to equal the aircraft drag. The maximum level flight speed for the aircraft is obtained when…

  sufficiently high voltage to jump a spark across the spark plug gap in each cylinder. The system begins to fire when the starter is engaged and the crankshaft begins to turn. It continues to operate whenever the crankshaft is rotating ... separate sets of wires, and spark plugs to increase reliability of the ignition system. Each magneto operates independently to fire one of the two spark plugs in each cylinder. The firing of two spark plugs improves combustion of the fuel…

  purposes only and is not for specific models of engines. The following are the four types of engines: • Reciprocating powerplant • Turbine, propeller combination (turboprop) • Turbine engine incorporating a fan (turbofan) • Turbojet (pure jet) By plotting the performance curve for each ... means of comparison, numerical values for net thrust, aircraft speed, and drag are not included. Comparison of the four powerplants on the basis of net thrust makes certain performance capabilities evident. In the speed range shown to the left…

Some manuals include a three-dimensional drawing of the aircraft that provides dimensions of various components. Included are such items as wingspan, maximum ... section contains only those limitations required by regulation or that are necessary for the safe operation of the aircraft, powerplant, systems, and equipment. It includes operating limitations, instrument markings, color-coding, and basic placards. Some of the limitation areas…
