D. Engine Primer
Priming of Superior Vantage Engines occurs in
two (2) primary ways. For fuel injected engines,
priming is accomplished by momentary
actuation of the aircraft boost pump with the
mixture control in the full rich position.
Carbureted engines require a manual primer
pump that can be actuated by the pilot. This
primer pump conventionally draws fuel from the
fuel line feeding the engine driven fuel pump and
feeds the common primer line source at the rear
of the engine. Figure 1-5 illustrates the common
primer line source for a typical Superior Vantage
carbureted engine.
Note:
Manual primer pumps should include a
positive lock feature to prevent the pump from
inadvertently actuating during flight.
E. Carburetor Heat Control
A mechanical control to actuate the carburetor
heat mechanism is required for carbureted
Superior Vantage Engines. The control design
should address the same issues as listed above
for the throttle and mixture controls.
F. Alternate Air Control
A mechanical control is required to actuate the
alternate induction air system for fuel injected
Superior Vantage Engines. The control design
should address the same issues as listed above
for the throttle and mixture controls.
