Hot Weather and Desert Operations
Observe airplane performance limitations computed from Sec-
tion V of the AFM. Temperature affects engine thrust, braking,
takeoff distance and climb performance.
In areas of high humidity, non-metallic materials are subject to
moisture absorption and increase the weight of the aircraft. In
very dry areas, protect the airplane from dust and sand.

Q
Clean dust and dirt from landing gear shock struts. Check
gear doors, position switches and squat switches for con-
dition and operation. Check tires and struts for proper
inflation.
Q
Check and remove dust and sand from engine inlet duct,
tail pipe, and the visible components of the thrust revers-
ers.
During the inspection, be particularly conscious of dust and
sand accumulation on components that are lubricated with
oily or greasy lubricants.
Be careful of other personnel and equipment behind the air-
craft during engine starts.
Engine Start
During engine starts at high outside temperatures, engine ITT
is higher than normal but should remain within limits.
