SECTION 4
NORMAL PROCEDURES
There is no change to the airplane normal procedures when the
carburetor air temperature gage is installed. It is good practice to monitor
the gage periodically and keep the needle out of the yellow arc during
possible carburetor icing conditions. Refer to Section 4 of the basic
handbook for procedures used when operating with carburetor heat
applied.
SECTION 5
PERFORMANCE
There is no change to the airplane performance when the carburetor
air temperature gage is installed. However, if it is necessary to operate
with carburetor heat applied, a small performance loss may be expected at
any given power setting due to the warmer induction air temperature.

SUPPLEMENT
DIGITAL CLOCK
SECTION 1
GENERAL
The Astro Tech LC-2 Quartz Chronometer (see figure 1) is a precision,
solid state time keeping device which will display to the pilot the
time-of-day, the calendar date, and the elapsed time interval between a series of
selected events, such as in-flight check points or legs of a cross-country
flight, etc. These three modes of operation function independently and can
be alternately selected for viewing on the four digit liquid crystal display
(LCD) on the front face of the instrument. Three push button type switches
directly below the display control all time keeping functions. These
control functions are summarized in figures 2 and 3.
The digital display features an internal light (back light) to ensure
good visibility under low cabin lighting conditions or at night. The
intensity of the back light is controlled by the RADIO LT rheostat. In
addition, the display incorporates a test function (see figure 1) which
allows checking that all elements of the display are operating. To activate
the test function, press the LH and RH buttons at the same time.
SECTION 2
LIMITATIONS
There is no change to the airplane limitations when the digital clock is
installed.
SECTION 3
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
There is no change to the airplane emergency procedures when the
digital clock is installed.
