Normal Procedures
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
PREFLIGHT INSPECTION
All accumulations of ice, snow and frost must be removed
from the wings, tail, control surfaces and hinges, pro-
peller, windshield, pitot tube, static ports, antennas, fuel
cell filler caps, crankcase vents, and fuel vents. If such
accumulations are not removed completely, the airplane
shall not be flown. The deposits will not blow off in flight.
While an adverse weight factor is clearly involved in the
case of heavy deposits, it is less obvious that even slight
accumulations will disturb or completely destroy the de-
signecf ae·rodynamic properties of the airfoils.
The normal preflight procedures should then be com-
pleted, with particular attention given to check of flight
controls for complete freedom of movement.
ENGINE
Use engine oil in accordance with Consumable Materials
in the HANDLING, SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE Sec-
tion.
WARNING
Ascertain that magneto switch and battery
master switch are off before moving propeller
by hand.
Always pull the propeller through by hand, opposite the
direction of rotation, several times to clear the engine and
"limber up" the cold, heavy oil before using the starter.
This will also lessen the load on the battery if external
power is not used.
