served, the brake system may overheat and result in brake damage or brake
fire.
If due to soft terrain a higher RPM setting is required, please consider not to
exceed 2500 RPM before a 50° C oil temperature is achieved.
Check the brakes functionality during taxi.
4.4.5 BEFORE TAKEOFF / HOLDING POINT
During cold weather operations, the engine should be properly warmed up
before takeo. In most cases this is accomplished when the oil temperature
has reached at least 50° C. In warm or hot weather, precautions should be
taken to avoid overheating during prolonged ground engine operation. Ad-
ditionally, long periods of idling may cause fouled spark plugs.
WARNING: Do not takeo with frost, ice, snow, or other contamination on
the fuselage, wing, stabilizers, and control surfaces.
