Pre-Flight Inspection
The pre-flight inspection checklist includes essential checks such as ensuring papers are on board, removing the control lock, turning off the ignition and avionics switch, and checking fuel gauges. The master switch should be turned on, flaps down, and various lights checked. The checklist also emphasizes checking the empennage, wings, and nose for security and condition.
Starting Engine
Before starting the engine, the checklist requires setting the brakes, ensuring the mixture is rich, and positioning the propeller control lever full forward. The throttle should be set to half an inch for normal starts. The checklist specifies engaging the starter and monitoring oil pressure to ensure it is within the green arc.
Before Takeoff
Prior to takeoff, pilots must check and set flight instruments, altimeter settings, and ensure doors and windows are closed and latched. The checklist includes verifying the trim settings and ensuring the flaps are set as required. It also emphasizes the importance of briefing the takeoff plan.
In-Flight Procedures
During flight, the checklist provides guidance on managing power settings, monitoring engine instruments, and adjusting the mixture as needed. It includes procedures for handling engine roughness and power loss, as well as emergency protocols for engine fires and electrical failures.
Landing Procedures
The landing checklist covers obtaining ATIS/AWOS, briefing the approach, and ensuring the undercarriage is down. It specifies the mixture settings and flap configurations for landing, as well as post-landing procedures including cowl flap adjustments and securing the aircraft.
Safety notes
- Ensure control lock is removed before flight.
- Monitor oil pressure during engine start.
- Check fuel quantity visually before flight.
