13.12 EXTREME CLIMATIC CONDITIONS
13.12.1
DUST
Dust induced into the carburettor air intake system is probably the greatest single cause of early
engine wear. When operating under high dust conditions, the carburettor air filters should be
serviced regularly. Servicing intervals for aircraft operating in extreme conditions are at the
operator’s discretion.
13.12.2
SEACOAST AND HUMID AREA
In salt water areas, special care should be taken to keep the engine and accessories clean to
prevent oxidisation.
In humid areas, fuel should be checked frequently and drained of condensed moisture.
