Aircraft General Knowledge 2
Across
- 5. Most dangerous carb icing condition range (below 21°C and high __)
- 6. Distributes power from alternator and battery
- 7. Device that provides a rapid spark during engine start-up by accelerating the magneto
- 9. Dissipates static charge built up in flight
- 14. High voltage component that creates the spark in the cylinder
- 15. Prevents knocking; higher rating allows more compression
- 16. Wires that connect airframe parts to prevent static sparking
- 17. Fuel system using pumps for low or distant tanks
- 18. Independent ignition systems; left and right
- 20. Independent of battery; engine keeps running even if master is off
- 22. Fuel system relying on height difference (no pump needed)
Down
- 1. Switch with ALT and BAT halves
- 2. Device that collapses the primary circuit to induce high voltage
- 3. Additive that boosts compression resistance in AVGAS
- 4. Protects circuits; can be reset once by pilot
- 8. Build-up on spark plugs from prolonged low RPM
- 10. Rotates to deliver timed voltage pulses to spark plugs
- 11. Carb temperature drop due to venturi and fuel vaporization
- 12. Measures alternator output; reads zero on failure
- 13. Fuel tank type that is flexible and removable
- 19. Ice that forms in venturi and throttle valve area
- 21. Magneto position for normal dual operation
