CPA Will Hold One-Day Seminar In CA
The Cessna Pilots Association (CPA) will hold a one-day
seminar on turbocharging at its headquarters in Santa Maria, CA.
The seminar will be held on Saturday, February 26, 2011. CPA
Executive Director John Frank says this seminar will thoroughly
educate the aircraft owner on the components and detailed workings
of popular Teledyne Continental turbocharging systems, specifically
those used on the Turbocharged 210 Centurion, the Pressurized P210
Centurion and the turbocharged TU206 Turbo Stationair (manufactured
from 1966 through 1986), the TP206 Turbo Super Skylane and the
T207.
"Most operators of turbocharged aircraft understand the basics
of turbocharging, which is exhaust turns a compressor which forces
more air into the induction system," says Frank.
CPA's expert instructors will break the turbocharging system
down into its basic components and their functions. From there,
they will move on to system setup, rigging and adjustment.
Operational Flight Test, Critical Altitude Check and detailed
troubleshooting will be highlighted. There will be a special
emphasis powerplant management, leaning and high altitude
operations. More than just a classroom lecture, this seminar will
include a special hands-on demonstration presented by Phil Kirkham
of Coastal Valley Aviation that includes details of proper leak
checking of exhaust and induction systems.
As a bonus, the seminar will include information on the
physiology of high altitude flight and oxygen system use, along
with high altitude flight planning, climbs, cruise control, leaning
and use of engine analyzers. There will be an additional section on
the special considerations on intercooler equipped aircraft.
The cost of the Continental-powered 200 Series Turbocharging
Seminar is $250 for CPA members and $305 for non-members.
