- Set the trim device to the required position.
- Remove the safety lock from the parachute
- Control the free movability of the control bar and the brake handles.
- Set the altimeter to zero. Control and adjust all other instruments.
- Set the choke.
- Turn the main switch on. Push the starter button. If the engine refuses to start
switch off the ignition before any investigation.
- When the engine starts, increase the engine RPM to a little above idle and
release the chokes. Oil pressure should indicate within 10 seconds.
- Warm the engine. Minimum Temperature should be reached before take off. Operate
for 2 min at 2000 rpm; continue at 2500 rpm until minimum temperature of 50 deg C is
reached.
- If any unusual behavior is experienced stop the motor and document this fact into
the aircraft logbook. Do not fly unless you have corrected a given problem and
recorded the correction in the log.
6.7.2. Take off
- Roll onto the Start Line
- Check wind direction and strength
- Check if run up path and the airspace is unobstructed.
- Push the gas pedal gradually ahead until RPM goes up to maximum and
allow the aircraft to accelerate. Keep running direction with the nose wheel.
- Allow the control bar to move slowly ahead, when reaching stall speed lift the
nose wheel up from the ground, then hold it and accelerate the aircraft while
rolling on the main wheels.
- When the main wheels leave the ground also, pull the control bar back and
accelerate the aircraft close to the ground up to cruising speed.
- At this speed begin to climb and keep the speed.
- The motor can run at maximum RPM only and generally for 30 seconds,
therefore adjust back the gas within this period (according to Engine Manual).
Take off is prohibited if:
- Either the run up path or the air in the direction of the take off is busy
- There is obstruction on the ground which is higher than 15 meter within 300
meters of the take off line,
- Seat harnesses are not on.
- The amount of fuel in the tank is less than the one enough for a 15 minutes flight.
- Instrument is out of service.
- Engine runs incorrectly, irregular vibration or sound is experienced.
- At the take off run direction is not kept as necessary.
- Weather characteristics are over their limits.
- While rolling and running up any irregularity is experienced.
