Manifold Pressure

Learn what the manifold pressure gauge does, where that pressure comes from, and how to understand what it means to you as a pilot.

Great video and you just win a subscriber 👍

[@h2oski1200]

your use of a pilot pen did not go unnoticed :)

Jet guy (Airline) and getting back into recips,... You helped make this a great refresher and cleared some things up for me. Mike Busch says "Manifold Sucks"! It can be hard to grasp the concept, but you made it easy!!!

Finally. Explained in a way that I could understand it. Thanks Man! PS And yes. You had to draw me a picture.😊

[@nimbapilot6925]

Thank you, sir, for your explanation! I have the 10hrs required for commercial certificate; I did not really understand the idea behind manifold pressure until now. thanks for taking your time to explain it this well.

When does manifold pressure increase

[@iamflartebartfarst]

Thank you for making this video, it was great!

[@wenserodriguez1297]

Thanks. Very Good explanation!!

[@sklew]

Great video, thank you. Helped a lot

[@oleran4569]

Thank you! Great explanaation!

[@johnjensen2217]

Excellent explanation

[@_mark_787]

Standard atmospheric pressure is 29.92 in of mercury, so is there a reason that you’re off by .01 in?

[@AmericusMaximus]

Outstanding!

[@flinfaraday1821]

How can one increase pressure at altitude to produce more power? Turbo?

[@Jeff780WM]

Excellent explanation! The diagram was great as well. I'm a low time pilot looking to earn my complex endorsement very soon and was having trouble understanding how this worked. For some reason, the way you described it, clicked in my head. Now make a video on how it correlates to the prop settings of a constant speed prop and how why it's not recommended to have higher manifold pressure than prop speed. Still need my brain to click on that.

[@iamflartebartfarst]

Hi, this is because if you have a high manifold pressure but a very low prop speed, there is a lot of force being exerted on the spring which governs the pitch of the propeller, and it can break!

Appreciate it good work !!!

thanks

Great stuff, subbed

[@iGemera]

waht about mixtur?
