The rudder pedals are suspended from a torque tube which extends
across the fuselage. The pilot should become familiar with the
proper positioning of his feet on the rudder pedals so as to avoid
interference with the torque tube when moving the rudder pedals or
operating the toe brakes.
In an effort to avoid accidents, pilots should obtain and study the
safety related information made available in FAA publications
such as regulations, advisory circulars, Aviation News, AIM and
safety aids.
Prolonged slips or skids which result in excess of 2000 ft. of altitude
loss, or other radical or extreme maneuvers which could cause un-
covering of the fuel outlet must be avoided as fuel flow interruption
may occur when tank being used is not full.
Hand starting of the engine is not recommended, however, should
hand starting of the engine be required, only experienced personnel
should attempt this procedure. The magneto selector should be
placed to “LEFT” during the starting procedure to reduce the
probability of “kick back.” Place the ignition switch to “BOTH”
position after the engine has started.
