Before Takeoff
During cold weather operations, the engine should be properly
warmed up before takeoff. In most cases this is accomplished when
the oil temperature has reached at least 100°F (38°C). In warm or hot
weather, precautions should be taken to avoid overheating during
prolonged ground engine operation. Additionally, long periods of idling
may cause fouled spark plugs.
• WARNING •
Do not takeoff with frost, ice, snow, or other contamination on
the fuselage, wing, stabilizers, and control surfaces.
