To properly purge water from the fuel system of an aircraft equipped with fuel tank sumps and a fuel strainer quick drain, it is necessary to drain fuel from the

• Fuel strainer drain

• Lowest point in the fuel system

• Fuel strainer drain and the fuel tank sumps

If a pilot suspects that the engine (with a fixed pitch propeller) is detonating during climb-out after takeoff, the initial corrective action to take would be to

• Lean the mixture

• Lower the nose slightly to increase airspeed

• Apply carburetor heat

Excessively high engine temperatures will

• Cause damage to heat-conducting hoses and warping of the cylinder cooling fins

• Cause loss of power, excessive oil consumption, and possible permanent internal engine damage

• Not appreciably affect an aircraft engine

Excessively high engine temperatures, either in the air or on the ground, will

• Increase fuel consumption and may increase power due to the increased heat

• Result in damage to heat-conducting hoses and warping of cylinder cooling fans

• Cause loss of power, excessive oil consumption, and possible permanent internal engine damage

If the engine oil temperature and cylinder head temperature gauges have exceeded their normal operating range, the pilot may have been operating with

• The mixture set too rich

• Higher-than-normal oil pressure

• Too much power and with the mixture set too lean

Which would most likely cause the cylinder head temperature and engine oil temperature gauges to exceed their normal operating ranges?

• Using fuel that has a lower-than-specified fuel rating

• Using fuel that has a higher-than-specified fuel rating

• Operating with higher-than-normal oil pressure

For internal cooling, reciprocating aircraft engines are especially dependent on

• A properly functioning thermostat

• Air flowing over the exhaust manifold

• The circulation of lubricating oil

An abnormally high engine oil temperature indication may be caused by

• The oil level being too low

• Operating with a too high viscosity oil

• Operating with an excessively rich mixture

What action can a pilot take to aid in cooling an engine that is overheating during a climb?

• Reduce rate of climb and increase airspeed

• Reduce climb speed and increase RPM

• Increase climb speed and increase RPM

What is one procedure to aid in cooling an engine that is overheating?

• Enriched the fuel mixture

• Increase the RPM

• Reduce the airspeed
