What situation must exist in order for the electric primer system to operate on the Piper Seminole?

The electric fuel pumps must be on

What is the proper procedure for crossfeeding fuel from the left tank to the right engine on the Piper Seminole?

The left fuel selector is placed in the on position and the right fuel selector is placed in the crossfeed position.

What is the rated horsepower of the Lycoming engines of the Piper Seminole?

180

What action should be taken if the cylinder head temperature is too high?

Open the cowl flap

What is the difference between turbo charging and supercharging?

Turbocharging is driven by exhaust air passing over the turbine. Supercharging is driven by gears, which reduce the performance of the engine.

How would you know if the turbocharger (compressor) system has failed in a twin engine airplane?

The affected engine would not be able to maintain the same M.P. as the unaffected engine.

Why should you idle a turbocharger engine for a few minutes before you shut it off?

To allow the compressor to be lubricated and cooled as the turbine wheel spools down prior to shutting off the engine.
