Chair Flight - Flash Cards

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.
