Explain the operation of the air and liquid cooling systems and how the system is monitored in the cockpit.

Explanation should include the following: 

• Ram air is forced over the cylinders and out the bottom of the aircraft. 
• The cowling provides the pressurized path for cooling airflow. 
• The cylinder head temperature is monitored by a gauge in the cockpit
• Liquid is cooled to parameters.
