NOTE: There will be no live stream on Wednesday, December 6th, due to a network maintenance in our area. We will still have in-person audience and a recording will be made available for Web Members later in the week.
Seminar Description:
Are you master of the systems in your aircraft? Do you understand the differences between the ignition system vs. the electrical system? When was the last time you refreshed your knowledge of engine principles or the induction system? If it has been a while or you just need a refresher, this is the place to be.
San Carlos Flight Center invites CFI Michael Dutton to talk about aircraft engines and the other systems used on most small general aviation aircraft. In this seminar, learn details about the ignition systems, electrical systems, carburetors vs. fuel injectors, constant speed propellers, and associated common failures that all pilots need to know. A competent pilot starts with a full understanding of their aircraft. In this seminar, Michael will give you the foundation you need.
Join us for this seminar to further your understanding of piston engines and common systems onboard single engine piston aircraft.
Michael Dutton is a CFI, and CFII in fixed wing, with private pilot privileges in helicopters. He’s been flying and working at San Carlos airport for over seven years, first working for the Flight Center before moving on to Airport Operations and now as Flight Instructor. His past work experience also includes time with NASA and San Carlos Airport administration.
