BEFORE TAKEOFF
The fuel tank selectors are normally both ON for takeoff and all flight
operations. However, one side may be turned OFF as required to
balance the fuel load.
WARNING
DO NOT EXCEED
200
POUNDS FUEL IMBALANCE
IN FLIGHT.
TO OBTAIN ACCURATE FUEL QUANTITY
INDICATOR READINGS, VERIFY THE AIRPLANE IS
PARKED IN A LATERALLY LEVEL CONDITION, OR,
IF IN FLIGHT, MAKE SURE THE AIRPLANE IS IN A
COORDINATED AND STABILIZED CONDITION
(BALL OF TURN-AND-BANK INDICATOR
CENTERED).
When checking the inertial separator with engine power set at 400 foot-
pounds, it is typical to see an approximate 25 foot-pound drop in torque
when the T-handle is pulled to the BYPASS position. This torque drop
will vary some with wind conditions during static check.
A neutral index mark is added to the pedestal cover which corresponds
to the zero degree trim tab position. As loadings vary towards the
forward C.G. limit or aft C.G. limit, elevator trim settings towards the
nose up and nose down ends of this takeoff range, respectively, will
provide comfortable control wheel forces during takeoff and initial climb
out.
Refer to Systems Checks (at end of Checklist Procedures in this
section) for procedures to use when checking the Overspeed Governor,
Autopilot, Standby Power, and Known Icing Systems.
Prior to takeoff, the fuel condition lever is moved forward to the
HIGH
IDLE position (approximately 65% N )and left in this position until after
landing. The higher gas generator idle speed for flight provides faster
engine acceleration when adding power (from an idle condition) on
approach or for a balked landing go-around.
