2. Airplane Systems, Airports and Aeronautical Charts

3. Engines Engines Reciprocating Jet Rocket

4. The Reciprocating Engine Key Terms –Cylinder –Piston –Connecting Rod Cylinder Arrangements –In-line –“V” In-line –Radial –Horizontally Opposed

5. Power 4 Phases: Intake Compression Ignition/Power Exhaust

6. Chemistry “Mixture”  Lean – Less fuel  Rich – More Fuel The Carburetor –Venturi Tube –Throttle valve –Float Chamber

7. Electrical and Powerplant Controls Powerplant –Throttle –Mixture Magnetos Electrical –Ammeter –Master Switch –Circuit Breakers

8. The Jet Engine Only one moving part! Intake-Fan Compression-Suction Ignition/Power-Adding fuel Exhaust-Turbine

9. Instruments Engine and Flight

10. Engine Instruments Oil Pressure Gauge Oil Temperature Gauge Tachometer

11. Flight Instruments Pitot Static System Air weighs 14.7 pounds per square inch ASL pressure = 29.92 inches of Mercury or 1013.2 millibars. The “six-pack” = Altimeter, VVI, Airspeed Indicator, Turn Coordinator, Heading Indicator, Artificial Horizon

12. Instrument that use the Pitot-Static System Altimeter-Static Vertical Velocity Indicator-Static Airspeed Indicator-Pitot

13. Gyroscopes and Gyro-Powered Instruments A gyroscope-spinning rotors Turn Coordinator-horizontal Artificial Horizon-horizontal Heading Indicator-vertical
