Abstract
Aviation spark plug experience in commercial operations -- particularly as to combustion deposit fouling problems -- is reviewed in detail.
Environmental conditions present within the engine combustion chamber as they influence spark plug operation are discussed.
Engine operational procedures affecting improved spark plug operation are described.
