What are the longitudinal ridges on the stabilator of the Seneca for?

What are the longitudinal ridges on the stabilator of the Seneca for?

Alternate air is an alternate source of air, it can for example be used during ice, when the normal filter is blocked to have a backup source available.

Alternate air is unfiltered air and should not be used during ground operation because the unfiltered air may contain dust and other contamination.

Tell me about the V speeds in a Seneca

Tell me about the V speeds in a Seneca

If you pitch up in a Seneca the speed IAS will decrease, because of the constand speed drive (in the propeller hub).

The propellers want to maintain the original RPM. Therefore the blades will go to a more fine blade setting.

What's the purpose of the mirror looking at the nose-wheel on a Seneca?

What's the purpose of the mirror looking at the nose-wheel on a Seneca?

No, it’s not required as the Seneca has a fuel injection system and engine icing normally forms around the venturi of the carb.

Ice can still form in in a fuel injection system in icing conditions, an alternate air source is available in this situation which takes warm air from inside the engine cowling.
