Amplified Procedures
Preflight
Visually check airplane for general condition during preflight inspection. In cold weather
remove even small accumulations of frost, ice, or snow from the wing, tail, and control
surfaces. Also ensure control surfaces contain no internal accumulations of ice or debris.
Prior to flight ensure that the pitot heater is warm to the touch within 30 seconds after
turning on.
If night flight is planned check operation of all lights and make sure flashlight is
available.
Starting Engines
Either engine may be started first. Starts are conducted with the alternator for the engine
being started off.
If engines have not been operated for several hours and feel cool to the touch use the
Cold Engine Start checklist. Prime the engine using the electric fuel pump prior to
engaging the starter. In temperatures above 10 C approximately three seconds of fuel
flow with the mixture set to rich and the throttle set to ½ inch will be sufficient. Increase
priming progressively up to six seconds for temperature at -15 C. Guard against possible
engine fire for all cold engine starts when outside air temperature is below 0 C.
Once engine starts idle at less than 1000 rpm until oil pressure stabilizes. If engine was
cold prior to start continue to idle at 1000 rpm for two minutes before establishing normal
idle rpm.
If engines are warm to the touch use the Hot Engine Start checklist. Primer operation
should be kept to the minimum needed to confirm electric pumps are operating
(approximately one second.)
Normal idle rpm is 1300 rpm. Select normal idle rpm after oil pressure stabilizes and
engine is warm. Lower rpm should be used while taxiing.
Taxiing
Use rpm as needed to taxi. Avoid excessive use of brakes when taxiing.
