    Study Notes

    Induction Ice Prevention

    • Carburetor heat systems are employed to prevent and eliminate carburetor ice in aircraft.
    • These systems warm the air entering the carburetor, melting any ice that may have formed.

    Indication of Induction Ice

    • In an aircraft with a constant-speed propeller, a decrease in RPM is the first indication of induction ice presence.
    • This drop in RPM suggests reduced airflow to the engine, typical of ice blockage.

    Engine Power Output and Ice Accumulation

    • Accumulation of ice in the induction system leads to a reduction in engine power output.
    • This reduction occurs due to restricted airflow, which hinders engine performance.

    Power Reduction Indicators

    • In an aircraft with a fixed-pitch propeller, a decrease in manifold pressure serves as the primary indication of reduced engine power.
    • The fixed-propeller design does not allow for RPM adjustments, making manifold pressure a key indicator.

    Purpose of Induction Ice Prevention

    • Preventing or removing induction ice is crucial to ensuring optimal engine performance and safety during flight.
    • Ice in the induction system can lead to engine failure if left unaddressed, compromising flight safety.
