Gives a pilot control of the amount of fuel the carburetor or fuel injectors deliver to the air intake for a piston engine. The fuel and air, now a "mixture", are combusted in the cylinders. As altitude changes, air pressure changes. The pilot can optimize the fuel at different altitudes for the best engine power or for the least amount of fuel burn.

What is the back-suction mixture control system in the carburetor?
Back-suction mixture control: According to the dictionary of Aeronautical Terms, back-suction mixture control is a type of mixture control used in some float carburetors that regulates the fuel-air mixture ratio by varying the pressure of the air above the fuel in the float bowl.
Which of the following is not a climate control latitude altitude distance from oceans distance from mountains?
Latitude is not a climate control factor. Climate is primarily influenced by latitude, altitude, distance from oceans, and distance from mountains.
How do you use the word altitude in a sentence?
I can give you several sentences.The plane is losing altitude.Altitude is measured in height above sea level.If the altitude reading is negative, you are going down.
What are the methods used to control fuel and air mixture in carburetor?
The methods to control the fuel and air mixture in a carburetor include needle valves to control fuel flow, and the butterfly or ventura to control air flow.
What is purpose of adjusting the fuel and air mixture at altitude is?
decrease the fuel flow in order to compensate for decreased air density.
What happens of adjusting the fuel and air mixture at altitude is?
decrease the fuel flow in order to compensate for decreased air density.
What is a stratospher?
the stratosphere is in control of raising the altitude in the temperature. And is the secon layer of gas in the atmosphere.
What does the Mazda B2200 high altitude compensator do?
See the attached link below. The high altitude compensator opens at high elevation to allow extra air into a set of air bleeds in the carburetor to lean out the fuel mixture.
What is The basic purpose of adjusting the fuel to air mixture at altitude?
decrease the fuel flow in order to compensate for decreased air density.
What causes the most deaths on Mt. Everest?
There are a mixture of things why climbers die on Mount Everest. The weather Altitude Sickness A Fall Avalanche
Why does a fuel injected airplane have mixture control?
I wouldn't think you'd find a mixture control, of the type that would be used on a carbureted engine, on a fuel injected engine. You certainly would have a fuel control lever that would turn fuel on or off, with perhaps an idle range selection, but not in the sense that it would actually allow you to adjust the fuel/air mixture. Maybe one of the aeronautical engineers on this site could add their thoughts...? You are right in saying that it would not be the same type of fuel metering as found on a carbureted engine, but both types of aircraft engines require specific fuel metering for one basic reason: air density changes with altitude. To maintain the approximate weight ratio of 14:1 (14 lbs of air for every 1 lb of fuel), the mixture control allows the pilot to manually reduce the amount of fuel so that the correct mixture (i.e. not too lean or rich) can be found. Carburetors are equipped with a mixture needle, an adjustable needle located inside the float chamber that regulates the amount of fuel mixed with a given amount of air. Fuel-injected engines have an fuel/air control unit that essentially does the same job as a carburetor, just better and without all the unexpected carburetor fires. :P The mixture control (red knob in cockpit) adjusts the amount of fuel within the fuel/air control unit, this fuel/air mixture is then sent to the fuel manifold valve to be distributed through fuel lines to each cylinder.
What is air switching valve?
to control the flow of air fuel mixture
