Cirrus SR20 and SR22 Flight Operations Manual
Section 3 Standard Operating Procedures
Before Takeoff
Complete the Before Takeoff checklist as a do-list. Complete the
checklist at an appropriate run up area prior to departure. The Before
Takeoff checklist will ensure the aircraft is properly configured for
takeoff and all engine and electrical indications are within parameters.
Run-up items are included in this checklist. Verify engine oil
temperature reaches a minimum of 100º F prior to applying run up
power settings. Verify all engine and electrical indications are normal
prior to departure.
During cold weather operations, the engine should be properly
warmed before takeoff. In most cases this is accomplished when the
oil temperature has reached at least 100º F. 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.
