In a carburetor the fuel to air ratio is governed by... - ANSWER Mass (or weight)
What happens to the Fuel/Air ratio when Carb heat is applied? As a result what should you do for
prolong carb heat usage. - ANSWER Air is warmer therefore less dense so you should lean the mixture
for prolong use of Carb heat.
What happens to an engine when fuel is not leaned at high altitudes? - ANSWER the fuel to air mixture
becomes too rich this results in a drop of RPMs and spark plugs may foul. This will also result an more
fuel used than calculated as per the POH.
What happens when you lean the mixture at cursing altitude? - ANSWER You are decreasing the amount
of fuel to air ratio to compensate for the less dense air at higher altitudes.
When Carb heat is applied what happens to the fuel to air ratio? - ANSWER The fuel gets richer because
the air becomes less dense.

ANSWER This is a partial block which will allow the dynamic pressure to slowly leak out. In this case the
ASI will decrease to 0
What will happen to the Airspeed indicator if the static port gets blocked? - ANSWER It will under-read
more and more as you climb and over read more and more as you descend.
What will happen to the altimeter if the static port gets blocked? - ANSWER It will freeze on the last
altitude before blockage

What is a trough and how is it depicted on a GFA? - ANSWER It is an elongated are of low pressure and is
shown as a single purple line.
What does a double purple line indicate on a GFA? - ANSWER an upper air trough.
What is the difference between a trowal and a trough and how is each depicted on a GFA? - ANSWER A
Trowal (or an occluded front) occurs when cold air catches up with warm air. It is shown on the GFA as
zipper cold and warm front. A trough is an elongated area of low pressure. It is shown on the GFA as a
single purple line.
