EXTRA 200
4.3.2 HOT ENGINES
Because of the fact that the fuel percolates and the system must be cleared of vapour, it is
recommended to use the same procedure as outlined for cold engine start.
4.4 TAXIING THE AIRCRAFT
1. Canopy CLOSE AND LOCK
2. Brake CHECK
3. Altimeter Set on QFE or QNH
Scale error max. +60 ft.
4. Avionic master switch ON
5. Electrical equipment ON
6. Radio Set and test
7. Mixture Leave in "FULL RICH" position
Operate only with the propeller in minimum blade angle (High RPM).
Warm-up at approximately 1000-1200 RPM. The engine is ready for takeoff when the
throttle can be opened without the engine faltering.
4.5 TAKE-OFF PROCEDURE
4.5.1 BEFORE TAKE-OFF
Before you line up at the runway for takeoff:
- Check oil pressure and oil temperature.
- Check the magnetos at 1800 RPM. Allowed drop is 175 RPM
(max. difference 50 RPM).
- Check Alternator Output.
- Move also the propeller control through its complete range to check operation and
return to full "HIGH RPM" position.
Turn boost pump "ON" (check indicator movement on the fuel pressure gauge).
Note
The RPM Gauge is electronically operated. To check the magnetos the RPM source switch
must be set to the same magneto as the ignition switch. Otherwise the gauge will show
zero.
4.5.2 TAKE-OFF
Set throttle smoothly to max and let the airspeed go up to 70-75 KIAS (130-139 km/h). A
light pressure on the stick lifts the tail to horizontal position. Rotate the aircraft at 75 KIAS
(139 km/h). On reaching climb speed of 100 KIAS (185 km/h) reduce the RPM to 2500 and
proceed climbing.
