filters To HOLD
FINAL CLASS

The final meeting of The Wash
ington Times Flying Club will
be held at 8 p. m. Thursday,
April "a, at the club rooms OF
the Aviation School Of America,
100 block Sixteenth st. N. w.
This meeting will close all class
room activities for the summer.
Arrangements for flying will oe
made public at this meeting.
It is requested that all mem
berS who have not turned in their
examination papers bring them
Thursday night. Captain Fonke
has announced that after this date
no new applications for flight
training will be received. The
fact that the student has not
obtained his OF her student pilots
permit does not prevent members
from making application for
flying.
ALI arrangements for the gradu-
alton of the 1880 class will be
made at this meeting. While
most of the certificates have been
made ready, the time for re-
turning examination papers has
been extended. 1t will be neceS-
sary, however. for all to turn in
papers that are standing out.
Attention is called to the fact
that only a limited number Of
flight students can be handled at
one time. Therefore it will be
necessary for the instructor to
accept applications only in order
of their receipt.

With today's lesson we con-
tinue our study of the art Of
Notwithstanding" It is very i'm
portant that the student pilot
keep a complete list of all trouble
shooting lectures that have ap,
peared or that will appear in
these studies, In today's lesson
we shall review the defects COM
mon with the water-cooling sys-
TENS on aircraft motors.
General Troubles
There are some forms of trouble
that may be placed under the list
of general troubles. However,
these are very few. When the
engine heats no very quickly with
full radiator, such troubles may
be caused by poor circulation and
excessive carbon deposits in cylin-
derS and on the piStonS.
Sometimes the water heats up
very quickly while at the same
time the engine is without power.
Such may be caused by incorrect
carburetor mixtures, valves out
of adjustment or motor out of
proper timing. Then, too, there
are such times when the engine
becomes hot and knocks, but has
very little power. Such cases
may be caused by low water sup
ply alone. The remedies in all
cases given above is suggested
by the troubles.
Radiator troubles
There are times, however, when
the troubles are so well decided
that the location is not hard to
find. Many of the defects of
the cooling systems employing
water can be located in the
radiator. The radiator enables
the water to be exposed through
passing in and about very fine
metal passages, to the cooler por-
tons of the system at the
4uI LI1Cl COC PO1AC 4AOAA Vic CAAS1AAC
proper, thus reducing the mean
temperature of the water. This
system permits the water to
carry off heat.
In such cases where the water
passages are clogged, the flow OF
water will be impeded. Wherein
this is the case, it may be
caused by incrustations. There
are also times that the water will
not fill the water pipes. because
the passages may be filled with
air. To remedy cases of this
sort it will be found necessary to
open the pet cocks at the base
of the system.
Water Piping
Where the water flow is i'm
peded it may be caused by any
of the following:
a Passages clogged with rust or
sediment, or other foreign matter
in bends or elbows.
b Swollen washers or rubber
gaSketS.
C Dents in piping.
The remedies for the above will
be to clean out, replacement, and
to Straighten out dents. Water

leakage may be caused by broken
pipes or leaking joints. Repairs
in such cases are suggested by
the form of trouble.
Pump-water flow may be i'm
peded by clogged inlet or outlet
pipes, due in most cases to col
lection of sediment. However, in
rare cases the pump may be air
bound, which will also cause
water flow to be ampeded. At
certain times the water will not
circulate. Such cases will be
caused by worn paddle wheel on
the centrifugal pump, worn pump
gears, or failure of pump drive.
At other times the circulation OF
water is very slow, which cause
is due to worn pump casing or
cover. Leakage may be caused
by breaks or leaky Stuffing box
glands.
It must be remembered by the
student that all such cases as
given above are the most COM
mon sort. Attention must be
paid at all times in flight co the
functioning of the motor. Gen
orally the pilot is able to tell be-
fore hand just what trouble is
going into effect by the actions
and sounds of his engine. The
pilot should attain a good mental
picture of the internal parts Of
his motor and as soon as a for
eign noise takes place, he should
be able to locate it almost at
once. This, however, can come
only with a great deal of ptac
tice, but it is essential that the
student pilot so train himself.
