fuel de-icing
1Fuel System Icing Inhibitor — (FSII) is an additive to aviation fuels that prevents the formation of ice in fuel lines. FSII is sometimes referred to by the registered, genericized trademark Prist®. Jet fuel can contain a small amount of dissolved water that does not appear… …
2Icing conditions — In aviation, icing conditions are those atmospheric conditions that can lead to the formation of water ice on the surfaces of an aircraft, or within the engine as carburetor icing. Inlet icing is another engine related danger, often occurring in… …
3icing — A condition where ice forms at the edge of the carburetorthrottle plate/butterfly. It restricts the flow of the fuel air mixture when the throttle butterfly is at or near the idle position. It causes the engine to stall. Ice forms because of… …
4fuel additive — Any substance added to fuel to give it some desired quality (e.g., anti icing, anticorrosive) …
5fuel icing — An uncommon phenomenon in which water held in suspension in the fuel freezes and blocks the engine induction system …
6icing — The accretion of ice on aircraft wings and other parts caused by supercooled water droplets in the atmosphere, cooling by the evaporation of a wetted surface or isotropic expansion, or super cooled fuel in the wings in high humidity conditions.… …
7Atmospheric icing — occurs when water droplets in the air freeze on objects they contact. This is very dangerous on aircraft, as the built up ice changes the aerodynamics of the flight surfaces, and can cause loss of lift, with an increased risk of a subsequent… …
8Jet fuel — An Airbus A310 being fueled at Prague Airport Jet fuel is a type of aviation fuel designed for use in aircraft powered by gas turbine engines. It is clear to straw colored in appearance. The most commonly used fuels for commercial aviation are… …
9Carburetor icing — Carburetor (or carburettor) icing is an icing condition which can affect any carburetor under certain atmospheric conditions. While it applies to all carburetors, it is of particular concern in association with piston powered aircraft,… …
10Aviation fuel — is a specialized type of petroleum based fuel used to power aircraft. It is generally of a higher quality than fuels used in less critical applications such as heating or road transport, and often contains additives to reduce the risk of icing or …
