PA-11 Cub Special

heat will only cause increased fuel consumption and loss of power. 4. Maximum permissible diving speed is 122 M.P.H. F. APPROACH AND LANDING 1. Push carburetor heat ON prior to throttling back for glide, or for any other flight manoeuvre. 2. Glide between 50-60 M.P.H. depending upon loading of airplane and gust conditions. 3. NOTE—“Clear” engine by opening throttle gently, every 200-250 feet of descent during along glide so that engine temperature will be maintained. Throttle action on the part of the pilot should be smooth and gentle at all times. G. PARKING 1. After-termination of flight, enter flying time in aircraft and engine logbooks. 2. Turn ignition and fuel OFF. 3. Under excessively windy conditions, airplane should be tailed into wind for parking. H. STOPPING ENGINE 1. Never cut switch immediately after landing as this causes engine to cool too rapidly. 2. Idle engine, especially in high temperature operating conditions, for several minutes. It is advisable to switch to each magneto for 30-second intervals to allow gradual cooling of engine. This helps to prevent overheating of spark plug insulators and will lessen tendency for “after-firing.” 3. Check for carburetor heat OFF during idling. 4. Push fuel lever to off when ready to shut down engine. For Safe Flying: DO NOT BECOME AIRBORNE WITHOUT CHECKING THE FUEL SUPPLY: It only takes a few minutes to gas up. It may save you a forced landing. DO NOT TAXI WITH CARELESSNESS: Taxi slowly and make turns to clear the area in front of the nose. Know the proper use of the controls for taxiing in a strong wind. OBEY AIR TRAFFIC RULES: Keep a constant lookout for other aircraft. Follow the rules so that pilots of other planes will know what you are going to do. DO NOT MAKE FLAT TURNS: This is particularly important when making power-off turns. You steer with the ailerons, not the rudder. MAINTAIN SPEED: Don’t be fooled by the increase in ground speed resulting from a down wind turn. Keep sufficient airspeed. DO NOT LET YOUR CONFIDENCE EXCEED YOUR ABILITY: Don’t attempt instrument flying in adverse weather conditions unless you have the proper training and the necessary instruments. Instrument flying is a highly developed science. Don’t pioneer. MAKE USE OF THE CARBURETOR HEATER: The carburetor heater is your friend. Know when to use it. Remember that it’s easier to prevent ice in the carburetor than to eliminate it after it has formed. DO NOT PERFORM AEROBATICS AT LOW ALTITUDES: Aerobatics started near the ground may be completed six feet under the ground. There’s safety in altitude. DO NOT ALLOW INDECISION IN YOUR JUDGMENT: Be certain! You can’t afford to make errors of judgment. “I think I can make it” is on the list of famous last words. THE GOOD PILOT IS THE SAFE PILOT: It’s better to be an old pilot than a bold pilot. A big “thank you!" to everyone that helped with this first aircraft for MSFS, especially to Ron (DA40CGDFQ) and Bill (lionheart) over at the FS Think Tank discord forum. Bill, aka Lionheart Creations Ltd., deserves extra mention for his tireless patience with my endless questions and for supplying gauge samples.
