COLD WEATHER OPERATION (Continued)
STARTING (Continued)
During cold weather operations, the oil temperature indicator may not
be in the green band range when ready to perform the BEFORE
TAKEOFF checklist if outside air temperatures are very cold. After a
suitable warm up period of 2 to 5 minutes at 1000 RPM, slowly
accelerate the engine to higher engine RPM. The engine should not
exceed 1700 RPM until oil temperature indicates more than 75°F
(24°C) and oil pressure is within the green band range (30 to 60 PSI).
Once engine oil pressure and oil temperature reach normal operating
range perform the BEFORE TAKEOFF checklist followed by a
immediate takeoff. If engine is allowed to idle for a extended period of
time between the completion of the BEFORE TAKEOFF checklist and
prior to TAKEOFF, oil temperature may fall below 75°F (24°C) requiring
a slow engine acceleration to warm the engine oil prior to performing
TAKEOFF.
WINTERIZATION KIT
An optional winterization kit is available and may be utilized when cold
weather operations are conducted. Refer to Section 10, Supplement 4
for installation and operational details.
HOT WEATHER OPERATIONS
Refer to the general warm engine starting information under Starting
Engine in this section. Cabin doors may be left open for engine start
and taxi if desired to aid cabin cooling. Face the airplane into the wind
when possible for additional cooling airflow and avoid prolonged engine
operation on the ground. Cabin doors must be closed for flight.
