It also has additional data which Cub Crafters, based on its experience, has found useful. This manual is the approved Pilot’s Operating Handbook and it is part of the equipment that must be onboard the aircraft whenever it is operated. This manual is not a substitute for adequate, competent flight training, knowledge of current Safety Alerts, Service Bulletins, and/or Notifications affecting the airplane or applicable aviation regulations. The pilot-in-command is responsible for determining whether the airplane is safe for flight. She/he is also responsible for ensuring that all operations are conducted within the limitations defined by the appropriate FAA regulations, this manual, the aircraft’s instrument markings, and appropriate placards. While it is intended that this manual be used in flight, it must be studied regularly. The pilot must be familiar with all limitations, performance data, procedures and operational handling characteristics of the airplane prior to operating the airplane. The information in this manual is divided into numbered sections, each of which is provided with a tab divider. The order of the sections has been designed so that the LIMITATIONS and EMERGENCY PROCEDURES may be looked up quickly. The EMERGENCY PROCEDURES section has a red divider tab.

It is divided into two parts. The first contains emergency procedure checklists. The second part amplifies the items listed in the checklists and includes information that is not readily adaptable to a checklist format or which the pilot could not be expected to refer to in an emergency situation. This information should be reviewed regularly. Pilots must familiarize themselves with the procedures in this section and must be prepared to take appropriate action should an emergency arise. It is stressed that the procedures outlined in this section are recommendations only. They are not a substitute for sound judgment and common sense and may have to be adjusted, depending on the circumstances prevailing at the time of the emergency. It is important that the pilot be thoroughly familiar with the aircraft. The pilot must review and practice as many of these procedures as are safe to perform as part of his training. Above all, in any emergency situation, MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT.

SECTION 3 CUB CRAFTERS EMERGENCY PROCEDURES CC11-160 REPORT SSC10020AFM Issued: 12/04/13 Page Number: 3-14 Date of Revision: N/A CAUTION Ice accumulation on the wings and other airframe components will greatly increase the stall speed of the airplane and result in unpredictable flight characteristics. Ice accumulation over engine induction air inlet can cause engine roughness and/or loss of power. Ice formations on the propeller may cause severe propeller/engine vibrations. Ice accumulation over the pitot tube may cause erroneous airspeed indications. Ice build-up on the windshield will distort vision and probably obscure forward visibility.

The first attempt to extinguish the fire should be to draw the excess fuel into the engine. If the engine has not already started, the mixture must be moved to cut-off and the throttle opened fully before cranking the engine. If the engine starts, and fire goes out within a few seconds, run it at 1700 rpm for a few minutes. If the fire continues for more than a few seconds, it should be extinguished by the best available external means. WARNING IF A FIRE IS ON THE GROUND, UNDER THE AIRPLANE, DUE TO OVER-PRIMING, AND THE ENGINE HAS STARTED, TAXI AWAY FROM THE FIRE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. IF A FIRE IS ON THE GROUND BUT ENGINE HAS NOT STARTED, ABANDON THE AIRPLANE IMMEDIATELY. In either case, have the aircraft inspected thoroughly by a qualified mechanic to ensure that it is airworthy prior to any further flights. SECTION 3 CUB CRAFTERS EMERGENCY PROCEDURES CC11-160 REPORT SSC10020AFM Issued: 12/04/13 Page Number: 3-16 Date of Revision: N/A 3.4.2 ENGINE FAILURE DURING TAKEOFF If an engine failure occurs prior to lifting off, the pilot must ensure he/she maintains control of the aircraft and comes to a stop on the remainder of the runway. The items in the checklist are listed to provide added safety after a failure of this type. If engine power is lost after lift-off, the first response must be to lower the nose to maintain airspeed. In most cases, the landing should be straight ahead with only small changes in direction to avoid obstacles. There is seldom enough altitude and airspeed to execute a 180° gliding turn to the runway. In a turn the glide angle is considerably steeper and the stall speed is substantially higher (in a 60° bank the stall speed is 62 mph IAS, flaps up). If the aircraft is high enough to attempt to re-start the engine, above all, maintain a safe airspeed. Ensure that the fuel selector is in the BOTH position, the mixture RICH and select the ignition backup battery. If the engine failure was caused by fuel exhaustion due to the selector being on an empty tank, power will not be restored until the air in the fuel lines is flushed out, and this may take a few seconds. CUB CRAFTERS SECTION 3 CC11-160 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES Issued: 12/04/13 REPORT SSC10020AFM Date of Revision: N/A Page Number: 3-17 3.4.3 TOTAL LOSS OF ENGINE POWER IN FLIGHT If the engine loses power, whether this is a total or a partial loss of power or if the engine runs roughly, the most important thing to do is to continue flying the aircraft, maintaining a safe airspeed. Trim the aircraft as required. In case of a total loss of power, the best glide speed is 68 mph (IAS) with flaps up. The aircraft will glide 1.2 nautical miles for every 1000 feet of altitude loss. The rate of descent will be approximately 715 feet per minute. Most GPS receivers have a “Direct To” (commonly D →) function that shows the closest airports. Use charts to assess the topography of airports in the immediate vicinity. If there is enough altitude, try to determine the cause of failure. In most cases the reason is fuel exhaustion due to the selector being on an empty tank. Switching to the BOTH position or to the opposite tank causes fuel to feed to the engine. However, power will not be restored until the air in the fuel lines is purged, and this may take a few seconds. Another common cause of engine failure is carburetor ice. Unfortunately, if this is the case, an excessively rich air/fuel mixture may have cooled the engine to the point where there may not be sufficient hot air in the engine compartment to melt the accumulation of carburetor ice, even when the carburetor heat control is in the full "hot" position. At this point the engine will not develop enough power to maintain airspeed and altitude. It is of the utmost importance that the guidelines concerning the use of the carburetor heat given in paragraph 7.5.7 (Air induction system) of this manual be followed closely. SECTION 3 CUB CRAFTERS EMERGENCY PROCEDURES CC11-160 REPORT SSC10020AFM Issued: 12/04/13 Page Number: 3-18 Date of Revision: N/A The engine will fail if there is insufficient electrical power for the ignition system. If the alternator fails, the batteries will provide power for the ignition system. The amount of time they will do so will depend of the state of the batteries and the electrical load. Therefore, it is important to turn off all unnecessary electrical equipment. With a minimum load, the main battery could provide enough power to keep the engine running for considerable time. The main battery should be used first. At the first sign of loss of power of the engine and if the aircraft is so equipped, the backup battery should be selected. The ignition backup battery will probably not provide electrical power for more than 30 minutes. Therefore, there should be sufficient time to plan a landing at a safe site. Once the batteries become depleted, the engine will stop. 3.4.4 EMERGENCY LANDING WITHOUT ENGINE POWER After locating a suitable field, establish a spiral pattern around this field. Try to be at 1,000 feet above the field at the downwind position, to make a normal approach. Plan the approach for landing at the midpoint of the runway; aim for the normal touchdown area only after gliding to the runway is assured. Excess altitude may be lost by widening your pattern, using flaps, slipping, or by using a combination of these techniques. If possible, transmit a MAYDAY message on 121.5 MHz stating location and intentions, and squawk 7700. Activate the ELT. Once the landing site is secure and you are committed to land, apply flaps and reduce speed to 49 mph (IAS). Close the throttle, move the mixture control to idle cut-off, CUB CRAFTERS SECTION 3 CC11-160 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES Issued: 12/04/13 REPORT SSC10020AFM Date of Revision: N/A Page Number: 3-19 shut off the electronic ignition switches, turn the fuel selector to OFF and turn off the master switch. If the landing site is very rough, there is a possibility that the aircraft may come to rest inverted. Should this occur, once the aircraft has come to a stop, open the cabin door (if you have not already done so). If the door is jammed, or if there is no clear path to leave the aircraft on the right side, it is relatively easy to unlatch and push out the window on the left side. Next, protect your head with one arm and release the seat harness with the other. Exit the aircraft through the door or the windows. Once the risk of fire has passed, ensure that the emergency locator transmitter (ELT) has been activated. If battery power is available, it may be possible to transmit to passing aircraft using the aircraft’s VHF radio. 3.4.5 PRECAUTIONARY LANDING WITH ENGINE POWER A forced landing with engine power should be treated in the same way as described in the previous section. Bear in mind that if the engine is not running correctly, it may fail at any time. It is advisable to have a contingency plan in mind. WARNING BE EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS WHEN MANEUVERING FOR LANDING AT LOW ALTITUDES. MAINTAIN A SAFE MARGIN ABOVE STALL SPEED. SEE FIGURE 5-2 FOR STALL SPEED VERSUS ANGLE OF BANK. NOTE With the master switch off, the instrument, landing, and navigation lights will not operate. SECTION 3 CUB CRAFTERS EMERGENCY PROCEDURES CC11-160 REPORT SSC10020AFM Issued: 12/04/13 Page Number: 3-20 Date of Revision: N/A 3.4.6 FIRE IN FLIGHT The presence of fire is noted through smoke, smell, and heat in the cabin. Electrical fires are often accompanied by an acrid smell of burning insulation. Engine fires are very rare. The procedures outlined in the checklist are very general and pilot judgment should be the determining factor in the action to be taken. The maximum rate of descent may be obtained by diving the aircraft to 141 mph (IAS) and adjusting the throttle so as not to exceed 2700 rpm. Use extreme caution when flying at these limits, and do not perform abrupt maneuvers. (See section 3.3.9). It may be advisable to side slip the aircraft in case of an engine fire. This will direct the flames away from the fuselage. If there is an option as to which way to side slip, it is preferable to have the right wing up, as the gascolator is on the lower left side of the firewall. If the fire persists, conduct an emergency descent, land immediately, and evacuate the aircraft. CUB CRAFTERS SECTION 3 CC11-160 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES Issued: 12/04/13 REPORT SSC10020AFM Date of Revision: N/A Page Number: 3-21 3.4.7 LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE More often than not, a loss of oil pressure will be gradual. If it is accompanied by an increase in oil temperature, it is a sign that there is a problem with the engine’s oil system and the aircraft should be landed as soon as practical, as the engine may stop suddenly. At reduced power maintain altitude and proceed to the nearest suitable landing site. Be prepared for a power-off, forced landing. Low oil pressure can be the result of a faulty gauge or sending unit or a malfunction in the oil pressure regulating system. In any case, land as soon as practical and have the problem investigated. 3.4.8 HIGH OIL TEMPERATURE Abnormally high oil temperature indications may be caused by a variety of reasons, among them:  Low oil level  Obstruction in the air flow reaching the oil cooler  Defective gauge A rapid rise in oil temperature must be treated seriously. Monitor the oil pressure gauge. Reduce power, enrich the mixture and, if practical, maintain a high airspeed to ram cooling air through the oil cooler. Land as soon as practical and investigate the cause, but be prepared for a power-off forced landing. SECTION 3 CUB CRAFTERS EMERGENCY PROCEDURES CC11-160 REPORT SSC10020AFM Issued: 12/04/13 Page Number: 3-22 Date of Revision: N/A 3.4.9 EMERGENCY DESCENT An Emergency Descent should be initiated whenever a situation occurs at high altitude requiring a high rate of descent. This is done in order to minimize exposure of the crew and passengers to an uncontrolled fire or when smoke, toxic fumes, or other situation threatens control of the airplane through incapacitation or restricted visibility for the pilot (See paragraph, FIRE IN FLIGHT 3.4.6). Retard throttle to IDLE. Trim airplane for maximum allowed indicated airspeed appropriate to the configuration selected and the atmospheric conditions. Advise the control center if flight path is in an airway. The maximum rate of descent with flaps up may be obtained by diving the aircraft to 141 mph (IAS) and adjusting the throttle so as not to exceed 2700 rpm. CUB CRAFTERS SECTION 3 CC11-160 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES Issued: 12/04/13 REPORT SSC10020AFM Date of Revision: N/A Page Number: 3-23 WARNING IF DESCENT IS TO BE MADE USING FULL FLAPS, SLOW THE AIRPLANE TO 81 mph IAS PRIOR TO FLAP EXTENSION AND PRIOR TO STARTING THE DESCENT. EXCEEDING THE FLAP EXTENDED SPEED CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE WING STRUCTURE AND POSSIBLE FAILURE OF THE FLAP ATTACHMENTS. IF THE DESCENT IS TO BE MADE WITH THE FLAPS RETRACTED, DO NOT EXCEED 141 mph IAS (IN SMOOTH AIR) OR 93 mph IAS (IN ROUGH AIR). DO NOT MAKE FULL ABRUPT CONTROL MOVEMENTS ABOVE 93 mph IAS. EXCEEDING THE NEVER EXCEED SPEED OR THE DESIGN AND OPERATING SPEEDS CAN CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO AND POSSIBLE FAILURE OF THE AIRPLANE STRUCTURE. MONITOR ENGINE RPM. DO NOT EXCEED 2700 RPM. SECTION 3 CUB CRAFTERS EMERGENCY PROCEDURES CC11-160 REPORT SSC10020AFM Issued: 12/04/13 Page Number: 3-24 Date of Revision: N/A 3.4.10 ALTERNATOR FAILURE Alternator output failure can be caused by a mechanical failure of the alternator, a momentary over-voltage condition, or other reasons. In the case of over-voltage an automatic system will shut down and disconnect the alternator by tripping the field circuit breaker. The SMARTmonitor will show alternator operation and main battery voltage by monitoring the main bus, labeled MAIN.V. A zero or negative reading on the ammeter (if installed), or less than 12.6V on the SMARTmonitor, can indicate alternator output failure. The alternator circuit breaker may trip. A mechanical failure of the alternator may be accompanied by unusual sounds coming from the engine compartment. The first step is to reduce the electrical load to a minimum. Turn the master switch OFF for at least one second. Reset tripped alternator circuit breakers (once). Turn the master switch ON. Check that the Electronic Systems Monitor shows green and greater than 12.6V and ammeter shows a POSITIVE indication (if installed). If the alternator returns on line, continue flight, monitor the SMARTmonitor or ammeter (if installed) and have the system checked after landing. If the alternator does not return on line, reduce electrical load to the minimum required for safe flight by switching off all non-essential systems. Maintain only the equipment required to provide information for safe flight. The batteries will provide power for the ignition system. The amount of time they will do so will depend on the state of the batteries and the electrical load. With minimum load, the main battery could provide enough power to keep the engine running for considerable time. The ignition backup battery should be selected once the CUB CRAFTERS SECTION 3 CC11-160 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES Issued: 12/04/13 REPORT SSC10020AFM Date of Revision: N/A Page Number: 3-25 main battery becomes depleted and will probably not provide electrical power for more than 30 minutes. Therefore, there should be sufficient time to plan a landing at the first safe site that becomes available. Once the batteries become depleted, the engine will stop. WARNING THE ENGINE REQUIRES ELECTRICAL POWER TO ENERGIZE THE IGNITION SYSTEM. SHOULD THE ALTERNATOR NOT BE PRODUCING SUFFICIENT POWER AND THE MAIN AND IGNITION BACKUP BATTERIES BECOME DEPLETED, THE ENGINE WILL STOP RUNNING. CAUTION The amount of time the engine will run on battery power alone will depend on the state of the batteries and load. Operation with the ignition backup battery alone is not expected to exceed 30 minutes. 3.4.11 UNDERVOLTAGE If the alternator does not produce more power than is being used, the SMARTmonitor will change to yellow. In this case the electrical system is being supplemented with battery power. For a short period (low RPM, high electrical demand) this may not require immediate corrective action. If the yellow warning is on for an extended period, the batteries could become depleted. When the battery is very near depleted, the SMARTmonitor will change to red and flash alarm. If the SMARTmonitor is yellow or red, showing low voltage, and the aircraft is equipped with an ammeter, check the output. A positive indication on the ammeter and an illuminated light could be due to a faulty indication. Increase engine RPM. If the indication persists and there is evidence that the alternator’s output is not SECTION 3 CUB CRAFTERS EMERGENCY PROCEDURES CC11-160 REPORT SSC10020AFM Issued: 12/04/13 Page Number: 3-26 Date of Revision: N/A sufficient to meet electrical demand, turn off all non- essential electrical equipment. If the alternator’s output does not meet electrical demand, be prepared to turn on the ignition backup battery should the main battery become depleted. The batteries will provide power to the ignition system. The amount of time they will do so will depend on the state of the batteries and the electrical load. With minimum load, the main battery could provide enough power to keep the engine running for considerable time. The ignition backup battery will probably not provide electrical power for more than 30 minutes. Therefore, there should be sufficient time to plan a landing at the first safe site that becomes available. Once the batteries become depleted, the engine will stop. WARNING THE ENGINE REQUIRES ELECTRICAL POWER TO ENERGIZE THE IGNITION SYSTEM. SHOULD THE ALTERNATOR NOT BE PRODUCING SUFFICIENT POWER AND THE MAIN AND IGNITION BACKUP BATTERIES BECOME DEPLETED, THE ENGINE WILL STOP RUNNING. CAUTION The amount of time the engine will run on battery power alone will depend on the state of the batteries and load. Operation with the ignition backup battery alone is not expected to exceed 30 minutes. 3.4.12 OVERVOLTAGE If voltage climbs above normal system operating voltage, the SMARTmonitor will turn yellow on MAIN.V screen. Increasing or decreasing electrical load may bring the CUB CRAFTERS SECTION 3 CC11-160 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES Issued: 12/04/13 REPORT SSC10020AFM Date of Revision: N/A Page Number: 3-27 system back to normal. Continue flight while monitoring MAIN.V. If voltage continues to rise the SMARTmonitor will turn red and flash MAIN.V. The automatic over voltage protection will activate to protect electrical equipment by tripping the field circuit breaker thereby shutting down and disconnecting the alternator. If the SMARTmonitor remains red for an extended period, but not high enough to trip the overvoltage protection, pull the FIELD circuit breaker to manually shut down the alternator and consider the alternator failed. Follow ALTERNATOR FAILURE section, but DO NOT reset FIELD circuit breaker. SECTION 3 CUB CRAFTERS EMERGENCY PROCEDURES CC11-160 REPORT SSC10020AFM Issued: 12/04/13 Page Number: 3-28 Date of Revision: N/A 3.4.13 INADVERTENT SPIN If an inadvertent spin is entered, close the throttle, neutralize the ailerons and apply full rudder opposite to the direction of the spin. Move the elevator control forward to break the stall after applying the rudder. When the rotation stops, neutralize the rudder, relax the forward pressure on the elevator control as required to smoothly regain level flight, and return to initial power setting. If the flaps were down, retract them once a safe speed has been attained. Ensure that the maximum flap speed is not exceeded. CAUTION This recovery procedure is applicable only when the aircraft is in a spin. Application of controls as described above during a stall or after the aircraft has stopped gyrating may cause the aircraft to enter into a spin. 3.4.14 INADVERTENT ICING ENCOUNTER Icing conditions are very difficult to predict. Aviation weather services may predict light, moderate, or severe icing conditions at certain locations and altitudes and no icing will be encountered. At other times, icing conditions may not be forecast and any of the above levels of icing may occur. When unexpected icing conditions are encountered, immediate action must be taken to divert from them. It may be possible to descend to a lower, warmer altitude, or it may be necessary to return to an area where no icing is present. CUB CRAFTERS SECTION 3 CC11-160 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES Issued: 12/04/13 REPORT SSC10020AFM Date of Revision: N/A Page Number: 3-29 NOTE Ice is especially prevalent if flying in clouds or visible moisture. This aircraft is approved for VFR flight only. If ice build-up becomes evident on the windshield and/or the lift struts or if the engine operates rough, apply full carburetor heat. Carburetor ice may form in temperatures from 32° to 100°F when the relative humidity is greater than 50%. Be alert for this condition if flying when the difference between the temperature and dew point is less than 20° or when there is visible moisture in the air. If carburetor icing is suspected of causing a loss in power, apply full carburetor heat. If the engine operation remains rough, adjust the mixture control to obtain maximum smoothness. Leave the throttle setting the same and wait for the engine to run smoothly once again after the ice is cleared. If there is no improvement, gradually apply full throttle and initiate a maximum rate climb to produce as much heat as possible under the cowling. If the engine continues to run rough, it may indicate that ice is accumulating on the propeller. It is also good practice to apply carburetor heat prior to and during an extended descent as a preventive measure. SECTION 3 CUB CRAFTERS EMERGENCY PROCEDURES CC11-160 REPORT SSC10020AFM Issued: 12/04/13 Page Number: 3-30 Date of Revision: N/A CAUTION Ice accumulation on the wings and other airframe components will greatly increase the stall speed of the airplane and result in unpredictable flight characteristics. Ice accumulation over engine induction air inlet can cause engine roughness and/or loss of power. Ice formations on the propeller may cause severe propeller/engine vibrations. Ice accumulation over the pitot tube may cause erroneous airspeed indications. Ice build-up on the windshield will distort vision and probably obscure forward visibility. 3.4.15 LOSS OF PRIMARY INSTRUMENTS In the event of instrument failure, it is recommended to return to the airfield and perform a normal landing, paying very close attention to keep the airspeed well above stall speed. If the airspeed indicator is not functioning, the general feel and sound of the airplane should be used to ensure an adequate airspeed is maintained for safe flight and landing. CUB CRAFTERS SECTION 3 CC11-160 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES Issued: 12/04/13 REPORT SSC10020AFM Date of Revision: N/A Page Number: 3-31 3.4.16 LOSS OF FLIGHT CONTROLS Aileron or Rudder Failure (cable driven) In the event of failure of the rudder or ailerons, control may still be maintained with the remaining control surface. Plan to land as soon as practical on a runway or field that minimizes the crosswind component. Do not perform abrupt maneuvers. Use an approach airspeed that is higher than normal for safety. Elevator Failure (cable driven) In the event of a failure of the elevator control system, the airplane may be controlled and landed using the stabilizer trim, power and flaps. Land as soon as possible and, if possible, elect an airport with a long runway. Prior to landing, establish level flight while maintaining a safe airspeed using a combination of power and elevator trim. Reduce power to establish a shallow decent. Adjust airspeed with trim. At touchdown, reduce power. 3.4.17 UNCOMMANDED TRIM ACTUATION In the event of uncommanded trim motion with the standard trim switch installed on the pilot’s control stick only, disable the system by pulling the TRIM circuit breaker located in the left wing root panel.

As a rule of thumb, if the stick is moved towards a control surface, that surface must go up. Make sure that the passenger (or cargo being carried in place of the rear seat) will not limit the travel of the control stick in any direction. Set the leading edge of the horizontal stabilizer (pitch trim) to the takeoff position using the rocker switch on the control stick. Ensure that the stabilizer moves smoothly. The trim is in the takeoff position when the leading is within the marks on the left side of the empennage. Check the flaps by lowering them to all positions and retracting them. Check that the detent on the handle engages in all positions. Set the fuel selector to BOTH. Ensure that there is enough fuel for the intended flight by checking the sight gauges. The mixture should be in the idle/cut-off position and the carburetor heat in the off (cold) position. Ensure that the electronic ignition switch is off and the ignition backup battery is in the NORMAL position. CUB CRAFTERS SECTION 4 CC11-160 NORMAL PROCEDURES Issued: 12/04/13 REPORT SSC10020AFM Date of Revision: N/A Page Number: 4-15 Check that all the electrical systems that will be used for the flight operate as intended. Note that the SMARTmonitor will run an initial scan. To confirm that the stall warning is functioning correctly, gently operate the vane on the leading edge of the left wing with the master switch on. The stall horn should sound. After operating the electrical system, make sure that all circuit breakers are in. Note that some are located on the left upper wing root, others on the forward part of the seat base and the instrument panel. Check that the windows are clean and clear of frost or snow. Ensure that all the documentation required for the flight is onboard. This includes charts, airworthiness certificate, registration certificate, aircraft flight manual, weight and balance data, etc. Adjust the position of the front seat. Turn the master switch off before leaving the cockpit. Verify rear seat straps are correctly routed through slide adjusters, as shown in Section 7.6. If no passenger is being carried, secure the aft seat belts and harnesses. 4.4.1.2 Nose Section As you make your way around the forward part of the aircraft, inspect the condition of the cowling and cowl flaps for cracks and ensure the fasteners are secure. Open the oil door on the right-hand side of the cowling. Check the oil quantity. The oil quantity for normal operation should be between 3.5 and 6 quarts. Ensure SECTION 4 CUB CRAFTERS NORMAL PROCEDURES CC11-160 REPORT SSC10020AFM Issued: 12/04/13 Page Number: 4-16 Date of Revision: N/A that the oil filler cap is secure. Inspect the engine through the door and then close and secure it. Check the propeller for nicks and the spinner for security and cracks. Verify air filter is installed and unobstructed. Look through the air inlets on the front of the cowl and visually inspect the condition of the engine. Check the general condition of the exhaust system. Drain fuel from both the gascolator and the lower left drain, and inspect for water and sediment. Dispose of the fuel in an appropriate manner. The following is to be completed whenever the aircraft has been parked:  In conditions where condensation may have accumulated in the fuel system.  In heavy or prolonged precipitation.  Whenever there is any question that water may have accumulated in the fuel system. 1. Gently rock the wings of the aircraft. 2. Drain at least 1/8 gallon of fuel from the drain on the lower right side and the fuel gascolator on the forward left side. If water is present in the fuel, drain at least 1/8 gallon past the point when water was last observed. 3. Jack the tail of the aircraft to flight level attitude (Reference SSC10000AMM Sections 6.3.2.1 & 6.3.2.2). 4. Repeat Step 2. CUB CRAFTERS SECTION 4 CC11-160 NORMAL PROCEDURES Issued: 12/04/13 REPORT SSC10020AFM Date of Revision: N/A Page Number: 4-17 4.4.1.3 Left Fuselage, Wing, and Landing Gear Check the general condition of the left side of the fuselage. Inspect the landing gear, tires, brakes, and shock absorber for condition and remove any chocks from under the wheel. Check the fuel cap by standing on the step provided on the landing gear. Visually check the fuel level in the wing tank and ensure there are no obstructions in the vent tube. As you walk along the leading edge of the wing, look for dents, ensure that the tie downs have been removed, and gently operate the stall warning vane. Ensure that all the vortex generators are in place. If one should be missing, there will be a mark on the paint of the wing where it should be. Check the landing light lens for cracks and check the security of the wingtip light assembly (if installed). Check the general condition of the wings, lift struts, jury struts, and wing tip. Check the flaps and ailerons for general condition. Pay particular attention to the hinges to make sure they are secure and the cotter pins are in place. 4.4.1.4 Empennage Check the tail surfaces for general condition and the tail wire bracing for security and tension. The hinges should all be secured with cotter pins. Check the condition of the tailwheel and the springs. Check the rudder cables for condition and proper attachment. Check the condition of the light (if installed) on the rudder. Remove the tie down. SECTION 4 CUB CRAFTERS NORMAL PROCEDURES CC11-160 REPORT SSC10020AFM Issued: 12/04/13 Page Number: 4-18 Date of Revision: N/A 4.4.1.5 Right Fuselage, Wing, and Landing Gear Repeat the procedure carried out on the left wing, fuselage side, and landing gear. 4.4.1.6 General Before re-entering the cockpit, make sure that the entire aircraft is free of snow or frost. 4.4.2 STARTUP AND TAXI 4.4.2.1 Before Starting the Engine Adjust the pilot seat using the pins on the sides of the seat-base. The pins must be securely installed prior to flight. Adjust the straps to accommodate the passenger. Make certain the forward bar under the passenger seat does not conflict with the control systems. Seat belts should be fastened and the passenger briefed. Close the door. Engage the parking brakes, which are individual valves located on each brake master cylinder. Ensure that the fuel selector is in the BOTH position. Verify that the avionics master switch is off and ensure that the propeller area is clear. 4.4.2.2 Starting the Engine Turn the master switch on. The SMARTmonitor will show MAIN.V and BACK.V in yellow or green. Push the mixture control in to full rich. If the engine is cold, it may be desirable to prime the engine. To do this, rotate the primer control until it unlocks, pull it out, allowing the pump to fill with fuel, and push it in, normally three times (more priming may be required in colder weather). After priming, make sure that the control is locked. Open the throttle 1/2 inch. Verify that the propeller area is clear and engage the starter. Oil pressure should rise within 30 seconds; otherwise, shut the engine down. Turn on any lights that may be required. The avionics master may CUB CRAFTERS SECTION 4 CC11-160 NORMAL PROCEDURES Issued: 12/04/13 REPORT SSC10020AFM Date of Revision: N/A Page Number: 4-19 now be switched on and the radios tuned as necessary. The SMARTmonitor should be green for both MAIN.V and BACK.V after the engine has started. 4.4.2.3 Starting Engine when Flooded The throttle should be in the full open position. Turn the master switch on. The mixture control should be in the idle cut-off position. Verify that the propeller area is clear and engage the starter. As soon as the engine starts, move the mixture control to the rich position and retard the throttle. Oil pressure should rise within 30 seconds; otherwise, shut the engine down. 4.4.2.4 Warm Up Before takeoff the engine should be warmed up for two to three minutes minimum, although longer may be required when the temperatures are below freezing. The engine is warm enough when it idles at around 600 rpm and accelerates smoothly. Ensure the oil pressure is within the green arc on the gauge. Avoid running the engine at idle for too long, as it will tend to foul the spark plugs. If you need to add power over loose stones or gravel, do so carefully to avoid damaging the propeller. 4.4.2.5 Taxiing Before starting to taxi, make sure that the propeller blast will not affect the area behind the aircraft and that there are no unapproved, unqualified people close to the aircraft. SECTION 4 CUB CRAFTERS NORMAL PROCEDURES CC11-160 REPORT SSC10020AFM Issued: 12/04/13 Page Number: 4-20 Date of Revision: N/A Release the parking brakes. Apply power and keep the control stick in the proper position at all times. Apply both brakes and steer from side-to-side to make sure the aircraft is controllable on the ground. 4.4.3 FLIGHT 4.4.3.1 Before Takeoff When the run-up area is reached, set the parking brake.
