To
lean
the mixture,
pull
the mixture control until the
engine becomes rough, indicating
that the lean
mixture
limit has been
reached in
the leaner
cylinders.
Then enrich the
mixture by
pushing
the
control
toward the instrument
panel
until
engine
operation becomes smooth.
The
continuous
use
of carburetor
heat during cruising
flight
decreases
engine efficiency.
Unless icing
conditions in
the
carburetor are
severe.
do
not cruise
with
carburetor
heat on.
Apply FULL
carburetor
heat slowly and only
for
a few seconds
at intervals
determined
by the
icing conditions.
In order to
keep
the airplane in best
lateral trim during cruise
flight,
the
fuel should be
used alternately from
each
tank.
It
is recommended
that one tank
be used for one hour
after
takeoff, the other tank be
used for
two
hours,
then return
to the
first tank. The second tank
will
contain approximately one
half
hour
of fuel. Do not run
tanks completely dry
in flight.
The following is a list of some fuel management recommendations:
I .
Fuel
quantity
should
be visually
checked
in
both tanks
before
entering the airplane.
2. Takeoff should be made on the
fuller tank to assure
best
fuel
flow.
and this
tank
selected
before or immediately after starting
to establish an
adequate fuel
flow before
takeoff. The tank
with
the
higher fuel
quantity
should
be selected
for landing.
3.
Fuel tank
selection
at low altitude
is not recommended since
adequate recovery
time
is essential
in
the event
of an error in fuel
selection.
4. The electric
fuel
pump
should
be turned on before
switching tanks
and left on
for a
short
period
thereafter.
5. To avoid the necessity
of making a
hasty selection
and to assure
a continuous
tuel
flow, the selector
should be
changed
to another
tank before the
fuel is exhausted
from
the tank
in use.
6.
Operation of the
engine
driven
pump
should be
checked
while taxiing or
during
the
preflight
runup by switching off
the electric
fuel
pump
and
observing
the
fuel
pressure.
7. During cruise, the
electric fuel
pump
should be
in the
off
position
so that any
malfunction
of the engine driven
fuel
pump
is immediately
apparent.
8.
If
signs
of fuel stawation should occur
at any time
during
l-light,
fuel
exhaustion
should be suspected. at
which time the
fuel
selector
should
immediately
be
positioned
to the fuller tank and
the
electric
fuel
pump
switched
to
the
on
position.
TURBULENT AIR OPERATION
In keeping with
good
operating
practice
r"sed
in all
aircraft,
it is recommended
that
when
turbulc-nt air is cncountercd
or cxpected, the airspeed
be reduced
to
maneuvering
spced
to
reduce
the structural
load caused by
gusts
and to allow
for
inadvertent
speed
build-ups
which
may
occur as a
result
of
the
turbulence
or
distractions
caused
by the conditions.
MANEUVERS
The
airplane
must be
operated as a
normal or
utility category
airplane
in
compliance
with
the operating
limitations
stated in the
form of
placards
and
markings,
and
those
given
in the
Airplane
Flight Manual.
Except for training
maneuvers
(steep
turns,
chandelles,
andlazy
eights)
which
are
permitted
only
when
the airplane
is
loaded to
the
utility
category.
acrobatic
maneuvers are
prohibited.
