DEFINITIONS:
WARNING Personal injury or loss of life could result if the operating procedures
and techniques are not followed carefully.
VISUAL INSPECTION:
NOTE
Visually check the aircraft for general condition during the walk around
inspection. Verify that all skin panel Camlocs are fastened. In cold weather
remove all accumulations of frost, ice, or snow from wing, tail and control
surfaces. Check that control surfaces contain no internal accumulations of ice. If
a night flight is planned, check operation of all lights and assure a flashlight is
available.
(POSITION)
c
1. Control Lock – REMOVE
2. Ignition Switch - OFF
3. Power Lever – FORWARD IDLE
4. Fuel Lever – CUTOFF
5. Fuel Valve – ON
6. Parking Brake – TEST and SET
7. Battery Switch – ON
8. Fuel Quantity – CHECK Each Tank Indication
9. Battery Switch – OFF
10. Elevator Trim Tab – SET, for takeoff (T.O. Arc)
11. Oil Quantity – CHECK dipstick and SECURE cap
NOTE
Operate between 1 and 3 quarts below the
maximum oil level mark on the oil dipstick.
NOTE
Keep the wing leading edge clean. An excessive
build-up of dirt, bugs, and chemicals can have
the same negative effect on lift as an
accumulation of ice or frost.
STARTING ENGINE:
1. Battery Switch – ON
2. Power Lever – FORWARD IDLE STOP / BETA STOP
3. Propeller Lever – Anywhere in operating range, but normally feather.
4. Fuel Lever – CUT OFF
5. Fuel Valve – ON
6. Fuel Aux. Pump Switch – ON
7. Fuel Inlet pressure Indicator – CHECK, 5 PSIG Minimum
8. Engine Starter Switch – ON. The minimum speed to obtain a satisfactory light is Ng
12%.
9. After approximately 5 seconds of motoring at a stabilized gas generator speed above
12%:
a) MOVE Ignition Switch to On Position and,
b) MOVE the Fuel Condition Lever to the Low Idle / Ground Idle position.
10. Observe that the engine accelerates normally to idle RPM and that the maximum
allowable interturbine temperature starting limit is not exceeded.
WARNING
7. Maintain the starter operation for the desired duration. (Maximum starter duration is 3
minutes.)
8. Engine Starter Switch – OF
TAXI
The Beta Region of the throttle quadrant may be utilized for taxing. Push the stick full
forward to unlock the tailwheel.
BEFORE TAKE-OFF:
Before proceeding with a ground run-up, be sure that the propeller system is purged, by
feathering the propeller once or twice with the Power Lever in the Idle Position.
The following procedures should be used to check the Propeller Overspeed Governor:
1. Place the propeller lever in full increase RPM (forward) position.
2. Increase RPM with the power lever to at least 2100 RPM.
3. Momentarily exercise the prop test switch and note a small decrease in the RPM
(2025 ± 20). This checks the prop overspeed governor.
CAUTION
TAKE-OFF:
1. Brakes – RELEASE
2. Power Lever – ADVANCE. Do not exceed engine operational limitations. (See the
Limitations Section)
CLIMB:
1. Establish the Best-Rate-of-Climb speed, 85 MPH.
2. Maintain maximum continuous power (RPM may be reduced to 2000 to reduce
propeller noise.)
3. Flaps – RETRACT.
4. Fuel Auxiliary Pump – OFF
5. Ignition Switch – OFF
GO AROUND:
1. Power – Increase to the take-off setting.
2. Flaps – Retract slowly while maintaining altitude.
3. Airspeed – Maintain best-rate-of-climb speed of 85 MPH.
LANDING:
1. Airspeed on Final – 130% of Power Off, stall speed (80 to 92 MPH).
2. Wing Flaps – As required.
3. Touchdown – Main Wheels.
4. Landing Roll - Lower Tail Smoothly, Close the throttle.
5. Reverse Propeller – Reverse may be used after the tail is on the ground. Depress
button on power lever to use reverse thrust. Keep tailwheel locked during all reverse
operation.
NOTE
ENGINE SHUTDOWN:
1. Parking Brake – SET.
2. Power Lever – IDLE.

GROUND ENGINE FIRE-----------------------III-1 | NORMAL AIR STARTS III-2
ENGINE FIRE IN FLIGHT ---------------------III-1 | ELECTRICAL FIRE IN FLIGHT III-3
ENGINE SHUT DOWN IN FLIGHT----------III-1 | EMERGENCY EGRESS III-3
ENGINE FLAMEOUT---------------------------III-1 | GENERATOR FAILURE III-4
ENGINE FLAMEOUT:
The indications of any engine flameout will be a drop in the interturbine temperature,
torque pressure, and RPM. The flameout may result from the engine running out of fuel
or possibly may be caused by unstable engine operation. Once the fuel supply has been
restored to the engine or the cause of the unstable operation eliminated, the engine may
be restarted in the manner described under Air Starts following:
NOTE
The best air start technique is to initiate the restart
procedure immediately after a flameout occurs, if the pilot
is certain that the flameout was not the result of some
malfunction which might make the attempt to restart
dangerous. There is always the chance that the engine may
restart successfully just as soon as the ignition is turned on.
In a flameout situation, move the igniter switch to the on
position as quickly as possible, if the gas generator speed
has not dropped below 50%. Under these circumstances it
is not necessary to move the fuel lever or feather the
propeller. However, the power lever should be returned to
the idle position.
EMERGENCY EGRESS:
1. Rear Occupant – COMMUNICATE intentions (Dual Cockpit Only)
If it is necessary to remove the cockpit door from its hinges, do the following:
GENERATOR FAILURE:
1. Air Conditioner - off
2. RESET Generator
3. If Generator is not restored, accomplish the following:
a. All other nonessential electrical equipment - OFF.
b. RESET Generator again
