Before Engine Start
This section outlines the necessary steps to prepare the aircraft for engine start, including preflight checks, fuel selection, and ensuring all systems are set correctly. Key actions include adjusting and locking seats, turning on the master switch, and checking fuel quantity.
Engine Start (Normal and Flooded)
The checklist provides two procedures for starting the engine: normal and flooded. For normal starts, the mixture should be rich, and the throttle set to 1/2 inch. In flooded conditions, the mixture should be idle cut-off, and the throttle fully open until the engine fires.
Before Takeoff
This section details the checks required before takeoff, including setting the parking brake, checking flight instruments, and ensuring the mixture is rich. It also includes a magneto check with a maximum drop of 125 RPM.
Landing
The landing section specifies flap settings and approach speeds. Flaps should be set to 10 degrees below 160 MPH and full below 110 MPH, with normal approach speed at 80 MPH.
Shutdown
The shutdown procedure includes turning off avionics and electrical equipment, setting the throttle to 1000 RPM, and ensuring the mixture is idle cut-off before turning off the magnetos and master switch.
Safety notes
- Ensure the propeller area is clear before starting the engine.
- Throttle should be set to idle and mixture to full rich simultaneously when the engine fires in flooded conditions.
