On aircraft with fuel pumps, when is the auxiliary electric driven pump used?
✓ In the event the engine driven pump fails
The operating principle of float-type carburetors is based on the
✓ difference in air pressure at the venturi throat and the air inlet.
The basic purpose of adjusting the fuel/air mixture at altitude is to
✓ decrease the fuel flow in order to compensate for decreased air
density.
During run-up at a high-elevation airport, the pilot notices a slight engine
roughness not affected by magneto check and worsened by carburetor heat
check. What is the most logical initial action?
✓ Check the results with a leaner setting of the mixture
What will happen when a descent from 9,500 ft MSL to 4,500 ft MSL is made
without readjusting the mixture?
✓ The fuel/air mixture may become excessively lean
