may be used, the wing-low method gives the best control. After touch-
down, hold a straight course with the
steerable
nose wheel and occasional
braking if necessary.
The maximum allowable crosswind velocity
is
dependent upon pilot
capability
rather
than aircra.ft limitations. With average pilot technique,
direct
crosswinds
of
15
knots can be 4andled

BALKED
LANDING.
In a balked landing (go-around) climb, reduce the wing flap setting to
20° immediately
after
full power
is
applied.
If
the flaps
were
extended to
40°,
the reduction to 20° may be approximated
by
placing the flap switch
in the
UP ·position for
two
seconds and then returning the switch to neutral.
If
obstacles must be cleared during the go-around climb, leave the wing
flaps in the
J9°
~o
20° range and maintain a climb speed of 65 to 75
MPH
until the·
obs~acles
~re
cleare

Abpve
3000 feet,. lean the mixture to ob-
tain
m3:ximu~
RPM. After clearing any _
ol;>st3;cles
; the flaps may be
re-
tracted
as
the
aircraffaccelerates
to the normal flaps-up climb speed
of
80 to 90 MPH.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION.
STARTING
.
,
' ..
Prior
_to
st~rting
on
a cold
m<?rning,
it
is
advisable to pull the
pro-
peller
through _
several
tim_
es_
by hand
to
"break loose"
or
'.'limber" the
oil,"
thus ·conserving. battery energy.
NOTE
When
pulling the propeller through
by
hand,
treat
it
as
if
the ignition switch
is
turned on. A loose
or
.broken
grow1d
wire on either magneto could cause the engine to
fire
•
. ·
In extremely cold
(0°F
and lower) weather, the use of an external
pre-
heater and an
~xternal
.power source
are
recommended whenever possible
to obtain positive starting and to reduce .wear and abuse
to
the engine and
electrical system.
Pre-heat
will thaw the oil trapped in the oil cooler,
whfoh
probably will be congeaied !n·ior
to
starting in extremely cold tem-
peratures
:
When
using· an external power source, the position of the· -
master
switch
is
important. Refer
to
Section
VII
under Ground Service
Plug Receptacle for operating details.
