Pre-Start Checklist
The Pre-Start Checklist includes essential checks such as setting the parking brakes, ensuring the throttle is idle, and confirming that all switches are in the correct positions. Pilots must check the fuel quantity, flight controls, and avionics before proceeding to engine start.
Startup Checklist
During the Startup Checklist, pilots must ensure the engine and propeller area is clear, set the throttle to full, and check the fuel flow and mixture settings. The right magneto and engine start switch should be activated, and oil pressure must be monitored after starting the engine.
Before Take-off Checklist
The Before Take-off Checklist requires pilots to verify the parking brake is set, fuel quantity is checked, and the throttle is idle. It also includes checks for the elevator trim, flight controls, and radios, ensuring everything is set for a safe takeoff.
Take-off Checklist
The Take-off Checklist outlines the procedure for increasing thrust to full, releasing the brakes, and monitoring airspeeds such as V1 (85 KIAS) and Vr (90 KIAS). It emphasizes maintaining a positive climb rate and retracting the landing gear after takeoff.
Landing Checklist
The Landing Checklist focuses on ensuring the landing gear is down and that the aircraft is configured for landing. It specifies the landing speed of 95 KIAS and instructs pilots to touch down on the main wheels first.
Safety notes
- Always verify that the engine and propeller area is clear before starting the engine.
- Monitor oil pressure after engine start; it should be at least 10 psi.
- Check that the landing gear is down and three green lights are illuminated before landing.
