After reading the module readings and supplemental materials, you learned about the requirements of removing, installing, and inspecting reciprocating engines.
For this discussion, find the AC 20-143, Installation, Inspection and Maintenance of Controls for General Aviation Reciprocating Engines on the FAA ACs site. This AC provides the recommended procedures for installing and inspecting powerplant controls (FAA, 2000).
After you have read through the AC,
- Explain and justify why you would remove an engine from an aircraft.
- Describe the key points of removing and installing powerplant controls when replacing an engine.
