Aircraft Reciprocating Engines
Includes an extensive guide and a checklist for performing annual and 100 hour condition inspections on reciprocating engines firewall forward.
The aviation maintenance technician must understand the operating principles of the reciprocating engine he has to service, and it is for this reason that this training manual has been prepared.
The generation of power in a reciprocating engine along with the factors which affect the amount of power the engine can develop are discussed, along with the construction and operation of the aircraft engine in various configurations.
Engine servicing and overhaul are discussed to make a technician aware of the types of inspection and overhauls the engine must be given. And finally, a brief overview of what is involved in a major engine overhaul of an aircraft engine is included with a section on engine troubleshooting.
