CARBURETOR
WEAK
Carburetor heat should be applied when power is reduced for
descent or landing. Full carburetor heat should
be
used rather
than partial (which
!say raise the carburetor air tenlperature
to icing level) unless a carburetor air temperature iridicator
is
used.
LANDING PROCEDURES
Use the following check list before landing:
1.
Fuel selector on fuller tank,
2.
Roost pump on.
3. Mixture full rich (ccntrol forward).
4.
Carburetor heat.
5.
Landing gear dowll (lower at
120
~nph or less).
NOTE:
Warning horn will sound if gear
is
not down and
locked and throttle is retarded. Check for green
"down arid locked"
lighr,
If
green light
is
not work-
ing, it can he screwed out and
replaced in flight
with the red "Gear Up"
light to verify the locked
position.
6.
Propeller high rpin (control forward).
7.
Seat belts fastened.
It
is recommended that the base leg be flown at
90
mph. Upon
turning final, or sooner
if
necessary, extend the desired amount
of flaps. Flap speed is
100
mph.
As
the flaps are extended, the
aircraft will become nose heavy. Roll the trim back so that the
aircraft will glide hands-off at approximately
80
mph. The ad-
dition of a slight
amount of power will flatten out the glide con-
siderably, The stall warning horn will blow if airspeed is re-
duced to within
5
to
10
mph of stalling speed.
NORMAL LANDING
Begin your flare-out for landing closer to the ground than you
ordinarily would. This is done for two reasons:
1.
The hilark
21
sfis lower to the ground than most aircraft.
