An engine restart flow after a power loss typically checks which items?

Choices

  • ✓ Fuel selector, mixture, carburetor heat, fuel pump, and magnetoscorrect

    These are the likely causes of power loss that the restart flow addresses.

  • The altimeter setting and transponder code

    These do not affect engine operation.

  • Flap position and trim only

    Flaps and trim do not restore engine power.

  • Cabin temperature and seat position

    These are unrelated to restarting the engine.

Why

The restart flow checks the most likely causes of power loss: fuel on the fullest tank, mixture rich, carburetor heat or alternate air, fuel pump, and magnetos — per the aircraft flight manual.
