BEFORE

(Continued)
ELEVATOR
TRIM
The
elevator
trim
tab
is
in
the
takeoff
position
when
the
trim
pointer
is
aligned
with
the
index
mark
on
the
pedestal
cover.
Adjust
the
trim
wheel
during
flight
as
necessary
to
make
control
wheel
forces
more
neutral.
LANDING/TAXI
LIGHTS
It
is
recommended
that
the
taxi
light,
or
recognition
light
(if
installed),
be
used
to
enhance
the
visibility
of
the
airplane
in
the
traffic
pattern
or
enroute.
This
will
extend
the
service
life
of
the
landing
light.
TAKEOFF
POWER
CHECK
It
is
important
to
check
full
throttle
engine
operation
early
in
the
takeoff
roll.
Any
sign
of
rough
engine
operation
or
sluggish
engine
acceleration
is
good
cause
for
discontinuing
the
takeoff.
If
this
occurs,
you
are
justified
in
making
a
thorough
full
throttle
static
run-up
before
another
takeoff
is
attempted.
The
engine
should
run
smoothly
and
turn
approximately
2350
-
2400
RPM.
Full
throttle
run-ups
over
loose
gravel
are
especially
harmful
to
propeller
tips.
When
takeoffs
must
be
made
over
a
gravel
surface,
advance
the
throttle
slowly.
This
allows
the
airplane
to
start
rolling
before
high
RPM
is
developed,
and
the
gravel
will
be
blown
behind
the
propeller
rather
than
pulled
into
it.
Prior
to
takeoff
from
fields
above
5000
feet
pressure
elevation,
the
mixture
should
be
leaned
to
give
maximum
RPM
at
full
throttle,
with
the
airplane
not
moving.
This
mixture
setting
should
provide
a
fuel
flow
that
closely
matches
that
shown
on the
Maximum
Power
Fuel
Flow
placard.
After
full
throttle
is
applied,
adjust
the
throttle
friction
lock
clockwise
to
prevent
the
throttle
from
moving
back
from
a
maximum
power
position.
Similar
friction
lock
adjustments
should
be
made
as
required
in
other
flight
conditions
to
hold
the
throttle
setting.
