What are the 4 strokes in a 4-stroke engine
intake compression power exhaust
Will the engine die if the engine driven fuel pump fails and you take no other actions
yes
If nose up trim is used how does the trim tab move
Down
Are there any actual spinning gyroscopes in the 172

Where is the fuel introduced to the air
just before the intake valve
What is the additive in 100LL that increases the octane rating
Tetraethyl-lead Pb(C₂H₅)₄
Why are slips with flaps 30 not recommended
can cause a sudden down pitching moment
