Light Plane Maintenance, Aircraft Engine Operating… di Kas Thomas
A handbook of how-to advice for pilots and aircraft owners, Aircraft Engine Operating Guide covers the basics of engine design, cockpit controls, engine instruments, starting, runup, and more. Entire chapters are devoted to the management of fuel mixture, cruise operation, and inflight emergencies. Information is presented with supplementary graphs, photos, and drawings.
Inside this book are all the best secrets for slashing maintenance costs to the bone, extending TBOs, and saving Big Bucks at overhaul time - safe, proven techniques that really work. Learn: * How to buy a chip detector (fully stc'd), tip 50; * How to get extra life out of exhaust components, tip 85; * How to ward off ice crystals in 100LL , tip 10; * How to use super-magnets to improve spin-on's filtering efficiency, tip 42; * How to get high oil temperatures under control, tip 103; * How to stop exhaust-gasket leaks once and for all, tip 84; * How to deal with high oil consumption, tip 54-59; * How to prevent valve sticking, tip 5; * And much, much more.… (altro)
A bit dated, but still VERY useful. Dated in the sense that its publication precedes wide use of digital engine monitors, digital borescopes, etc. Use this as your basic source and supplement with info on the newer techniques.
