PS-POH-1-1-01 SECTION 4 NORMAL PROCEDURES Date of issue: 10/11/22 Revision: 2 4-5 CAUTION • The starter should be activated for a maximum of 10 [sec], followed by 2 [min] pause for starter cooling. • As soon as engine runs, adjust throttle to achieve smooth running at approx. 2,500 [rpm]. Check the oil pressure, which should increase within 10 [sec]. Increase the engine speed after the oil pressure has reached 29 [psi] ( 2 [bar]) and is steady. • To avoid shock loading, start the engine with the throttle lever set for idling or 10 % open at maximum, then wait 3 [sec] to reach constant engine speed before new acceleration. • Only one magneto should be switched ON (OFF) during ignition magneto check. 4.2.3 Engine warm up, Engine check Prior to engine check block the main wheels using chocks. Initially warm up the engine to 2,000 [rpm] for approximately 2 [min], then continue to 2,500 [rpm] till oil temperature reaches 122 [°F] (50 [°C]). The warm up period depends on ambient air temperature. Check both ignition circuits at 4,000 [rpm] for Rotax 912 ULS. The engine speed drop during the time either magneto switched OFF should not exceed 300 [rpm]. The max. engine speed drop difference between circuits L and R should be 115 [rpm]. NOTE Only one magneto should be switched ON (OFF) during ignition magneto check. Set max. power for verification of max. static engine speed (5,000 ±100 [rpm]) with given propeller and engine parameters (temperatures and pressures). Check acceleration from idling to max. power. If necessary, cool the engine at idle [rpm] before shutdown. CAUTION The engine check should be performed with the aircraft heading upwind and not on a loose terrain (the propeller may suck grit which can damage the leading edges of blades).

CAUTION Avoid excessive pressure at the airplane airframe-especially at control surfaces. Keep all safety precautions, especially in the propeller area. 8.4 Tie-down instructions The airplane should be moored when parked outside a hangar after the flight day. The mooring is necessary to protect the airplane against possible damage caused by wind and gusts. For this reason the aircraft is equipped with mooring eyes located on the lower surfaces of the wings. Tie-down procedures: 1. Fuel Selector close, Master switch and other switches switched OFF, Ignition switch switched OFF 2. Fix the hand control using e.g. safety harness 3. Close air vent 4. Close and lock canopy 5. Moor the aircraft to the ground by means of a mooring rope passed through the mooring eyes located on the lower surfaces of the wings and below rear fuselage. NOTE In the case of long term parking, especially during winter, it is recommended to cover the cockpit canopy or possibly the whole aircraft by means of a suitable tarpaulin attached to the airframe. 8.5 Servicing operating fluids See appropriate chapters in the ROTAX engine Maintenance and Operator’s manuals and PPiippeerrSSppoorrtt aircraft Maintenance manual for more instructions.
