3 Warm-Up – 3/3 – 10 minutes Utilizing your notes and past knowledge answer the following questions: Describe the purpose of carburetor heat. Describe when a pilot will verify the operation of the carburetor heat prior to flight. Describe the symptoms of an aircraft when it experiences engine icing and how the engine will run with the application of carburetor heat. Describe the basic components of a fuel injector system. Describe the purpose of the auxiliary fuel pump.

4 Aircraft Systems Carburetor Heating
Carburetor heat is an anti-icing system that preheats the air before it reaches the carburetor, and is intended to keep the fuel/air mixture above the freezing temperature to prevent the formation of carburetor ice.

5 Warm-Up – 3/3 – 10 minutes Utilizing your notes and past knowledge answer the following questions: Describe the purpose of carburetor heat. Describe when a pilot will verify the operation of the carburetor heat prior to flight. Describe the symptoms of an aircraft when it experiences engine icing and how the engine will run with the application of carburetor heat. Describe the basic components of a fuel injector system. Describe the purpose of the auxiliary fuel pump.

6 Aircraft Systems Carburetor Heating
Carburetor heat can be used to melt ice that has already formed in the carburetor if the accumulation is not too great, but using carburetor heat as a preventative measure is the better option. The carburetor heat should be checked during the engine runup.

7 Warm-Up – 3/3 – 10 minutes Utilizing your notes and past knowledge answer the following questions: Describe the purpose of carburetor heat. Describe when a pilot will verify the operation of the carburetor heat prior to flight. Describe the symptoms of an aircraft when it experiences engine icing and how the engine will run with the application of carburetor heat. Describe the basic components of a fuel injector system. Describe the purpose of the auxiliary fuel pump.

8 Aircraft Systems Carburetor Heating
When ice is present in an aircraft with a fixed-pitch propeller and carburetor heat is being used, there is a decrease in rpm, followed by a gradual increase in rpm as the ice melts.

9 Warm-Up – 3/3 – 10 minutes Utilizing your notes and past knowledge answer the following questions: Describe the purpose of carburetor heat. Describe when a pilot will verify the operation of the carburetor heat prior to flight. Describe the symptoms of an aircraft when it experiences engine icing and how the engine will run with the application of carburetor heat. Describe the basic components of a fuel injector system. Describe the purpose of the auxiliary fuel pump.

10 Aircraft Systems Fuel Injection Systems
A fuel injection system usually incorporates six basic components: an engine-driven fuel pump a fuel/air control unit fuel manifold (fuel distributor) discharge nozzles an auxiliary fuel pump fuel pressure/flow indicators.

11 Warm-Up – 3/3 – 10 minutes Utilizing your notes and past knowledge answer the following questions: Describe the purpose of carburetor heat. Describe when a pilot will verify the operation of the carburetor heat prior to flight. Describe the symptoms of an aircraft when it experiences engine icing and how the engine will run with the application of carburetor heat. Describe the basic components of a fuel injector system. Describe the purpose of the auxiliary fuel pump.

12 Aircraft Systems Fuel Injection Systems
The auxiliary fuel pump provides fuel under pressure to the fuel/air control unit for engine starting and/or emergency use.
