Checklist: N46287
MAULE M-6 · Checklist
Overview
This document is a checklist for the Maule M-6 aircraft, specifically for the N46287 model. It covers preflight inspections, engine starting procedures, takeoff, landing, and emergency procedures.
- Preflight inspection includes checking documents and fuel quantity.
- Engine starting requires mixture to be rich and carburetor heat to be cold.
- Normal takeoff climb speed is between 75-85 MPH.
- Emergency procedures include actions for engine failure and electrical fires.
- V-speeds vary depending on whether the aircraft is on floats or wheels.
- Weight and balance information is provided for both floats and wheels.
- Landing requires maintaining airspeed of 70-80 MPH (flaps up).
- After landing, carburetor heat should be set to cold.
