Aircraft Reciprocating Engine Operation
Purpose:
Describe the controls and instrumentation associated with reciprocating engines. Interpret
engine instrument information.
Reference: Aircraft specific POH
Activities:
Part 1: Reciprocating Engine Controls
1)
Identify the engine controls in figure 1. (Cirrus SR20)
Power lever Mixture control
Start/ignition switch
2)
Identify the engine controls in figure 2. (Piper Seminole)
Throttle Propellor control
Mixture control lever
3)
The power lever in the Cirrus SR20 is linked to the butterfly valve/fuel metering unit and the propeller pitch control
4)
The power lever in the Cirrus SR20 is designed to maintain 2500 RPM during cruise with
a maximum RPM of 2700
5)
Pushing the propeller levers full forward in the Seminole will put the engine at High (HIGH or LOW) RPM.

ramp moves off Valve C, which allows the Retraction
pilot line to vent. The cylinder continues to retract until

Task 8 - Induction Systems
In order for combustion to take place an induction system is required to feed fuel and air into the
cylinder of an engine. To improve efficiency and performance spark ignition (SI) engines are now
adopting compression ignition (CI) engine technology by injecting fuel directly into the cylinder
just before the point of ignition however these engines still require an air induction system.
Carburettors: before fuel injection technology had been fully developed carburettors (carbs)
were used to create a fuel/air ratio at different engine speeds and loads. A cold start facility was
also fitted albeit manually operated.
The demand for more performance has meant the fixed choke carb' was no longer suitable. More
complex carbs' were developed (twin choke) as well as variable choke (constant depression)
carbs which used engine vacuum (during throttle opening) to vary the size of choke according to
operating requirements.

A pick and Place machine is being used to transfer a box.
The arm is extended (out) by energizing a solenoid valve; when the valve is de-energizes, the arm retracts (in). In the same way, a second valve closes the grip (when energized) or opens
the grip (when de-energized).
