PART I DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION OF COMPONENTS GENERAL The Super 21 is a single engine four-place low wing. retractable tricycle ]anding gear airplane. The design and operation of this aircraft are conventional with few excepdons. This section will describe some of the components of the Super 21 and operating details. The Super 21 uses an aluminum alloy constant spee.d propeller of 74 inch diameter. The pitch of the blades is controlled by engine oll pressure which acts to increase or decrease blade angle of attack and thereby control engine speed. The propeller control in the cabin operates the propeller governor which controls the oil pressure provided to the propeller hub. The governor setting functions to maintain the engine at a constant speed by actuating blade angle of attack. In essence then, the function of the propeller control in the cabin is to regulate and maintain the rotational speed of the engine at a desired setting. The Super 21 is powered by the Lycoming 200 hp IO-360-AIA four cylinder engine. This engine uses 100/130 octane fuel, Four rubber bushings on the aft side of the engine provide mourning and vibration isolation. Engine manifold pressure is regulated by the push-pull throttle control on the panel. BOOST A unique Power Boost feature of the Super 21 provides increased manifold pressure to the engine when full throttle is used. This is accomplished by pulling the Power Boost cornrol out. which causes induction air to by-pass the engine air fUter to permit the engine to operate on direct ram air. Becaus'! the engine will be operatinJZ on unfiltered air When the Power Boost is used. 1

• it should be operated only In clean, duSt free air at altitude, and turned off for take-off and landing. Because the Power Boost is effective only when the throttle Is In the fully opened position, -Its advantages generally wU1 be realized at altitudes above 5,000 feet where night Is often with full throttle. A light 1s provided on the panel the Power Boost control toremlnd the pDot to push the control in (to mtered air) before landing. This light will come on when the gear Is lowered whDe Power Boost is on. Turn Power Boost off when in icing conditions. Icing conditions prevail any timetbetempera- ture and moisture conditions combine to produce the possibility of impact ice. Using unfnteredlnductlon air when flying In snow or other IFR conditions can be hazardous. Snow can ac- cumulate in the fuel InjecJor impact tubes or moisture can freeze in the passages under icing conditions and cause loss of power. Therefore It Is imperative that the Power Boost not be used when flying In sleet, snow, rain. or moisture-laden air near freez- Ing temperatures. Under these coooltions Ice can form in the inlet duct or fuel Injector unit even though no visible moisture Is on the airframe. 2 4
