4.7.3.4 Soaring
1.
Flaps Circling in thermals: „TO / LDG 1“
Flight between thermals:
„NEUTRAL“
Warning: The voltage must not fall below the minimum of 11.5V during
soaring flight. If the minimum voltage is reached the engine
has to be restarted with windmilling immediately.
Note: Best glide-ratio occurs with flaps set to „NEUTRAL“, lowest
sink-rate with flaps set to „TO / LDG 1“.
4.7.3.5 Engine-Restart (Transition to Powered-Configuration)
Warning: When restarting the engine in flight with a windmilling
propeller and at high air-speed, the THROTTLE must be set
to IDLE. Otherwise the engine can exceed its maximum
RPM immediately after restarting.
Warning: If the engine is running (windmilling) do NOT use the starter.
The engine could be damaged.
Caution: With low battery voltage near minimum value of 11.5V the
engine restart is only possible with windmilling.
Note: During engine air-start, the altitude-loss is minimum 690 ft /
210 m, depending on metereological sink-rate.
Normal airstart: appr. 100 m / 330 ft (for 90 s propeller pitch)
Windmilling: appr. 210 m / 690 ft (with acceleration to
150 km/h / 81 kts)
