BEFORE STARTING
[ ] Hood (Canopy) - OPEN
[ ] Parking brake - SET
[ ] Battery Switch - ON
[ ] Generator Switch - ON
[ ] Undercarriage Indicator
Switch (green lights) - ON
[ ] Undercarriage Indicator
Changeover Switch (duplicate lights) - ON to test – then OFF
[ ] Instruments - CHECK
[ ] Altimeter – SET for QFE
[ ] Lights - AS REQUIRED
[ ] Magneto Switches – ON
[ ] Fuel Tank Selector – ALL
[ ] Fuel Contents - CHECK
[ ] Controls FREE/FULL and
CORRECT TRAVEL
[ ] Mixture - FULL RICH (press
CTRL+SHIFT+F3 until lever is fully AFT)
Note: Mixture Control on this aircraft is fully automatic.
[ ] Throttle - ½” OPEN
[ ] Propeller control - FULL
FORWARD
[ ] Supercharger control -
MODERATE
[ ] Radiator Shutter – FULLY
OPEN
STARTING
Press CTRL+E to initiate engine
autostart sequence, or:
[ ] Prime the number of strokes
as required by the following table –
Air temperature °C: +30 +20 +10 0
-10 -20
Normal fuel: 3 4 7 12
High volatility fuel: 4 8
18
[ ] Press the Starter
pushbutton (pressing the starter pushbutton will automatically depress the
Booster Coil pushbutton) – HOLD UNTIL ENGINE STARTS
[ ] Oil Pressure – CHECK (must
rise within 30 seconds)
WARM UP/BEFORE TAXI
[ ] Open the throttle to give
1000 RPM – IN COLD WEATHER (+10 and below)
WARM UP AT THIS SPEED UNTIL OIL
AND COOLANT TEMPERATURES BEGIN TO RISE.
TAXIING MAY BEGIN IMMEDIATELY
AFTER A TEMPERATURE RISE IS NOTED.
[ ] Check brake pressures
(Press shift+6 to display triple pressure gauge)
Minimum for taxi - Pneumatic
supply pressure 200 lbs/sq/inch, brake pressure at each wheel 80
lbs/sq/inch.
[ ] Radios – AS REQUIRED
ENGINE RUN-UP
[ ] Parking Brake - SET
[ ] Open throttle slowly to –4
lbs/sq/inch boost pressure/2250 RPM (take care not to exceed this power setting
to avoid a noseover).
[ ] Check operation of the constant
speed prop by decreasing the prop RPM to low using the prop control lever in
the VC, or on the Engine Controls Window (Shift+2), or by pressing CTRL+F1. RPM
should fall to 1800. Return the prop lever to the high rpm position and observe
that the RPM returns to 2250. In cold weather the prop should be cycled this
way several times to bring warm oil to the dome and avoid sluggish operation in
flight.
[ ] Check the operation of left
and right magnetos by tuning to OFF first the Left magneto switch and then the
RIGHT. RPM drop must not exceed 150 RPM.
[ ] Supercharger push pull
control – pull to engage ‘S’ GEAR, observe slight RPM drop. Push to return to
‘M’ GEAR for takeoff.
[ ] Oil Temperature – CHECK
[ ] Coolant Temperature - CHECK
[ ] Fuel Pressure Warning Light
- OUT ABOVE 800 RPM
[ ] Fuel Pressure - +11 psi at
2250 RPM
BEFORE TAKEOFF
[ ] Hood (Canopy) - OPEN
[ ] Trim - SET Elevator NEUTRAL
(0 degrees) Rudder FULL NOSE RIGHT (+10
degrees)
[ ] Propeller control lever –
fully forward for fine pitch/high RPM
[ ] Supercharger control -
MODERATE
[ ] Radiator Shutter – FULLY
OPEN
[ ] Flaps – up to 28 degrees
may be used.
TAKEOFF AND CLIMB
[ ] Brakes RELEASE
[ ] Throttle – Open slowly to
the gate position (+9 lbs/sq/inch boost 3000 RPM.
[ ] Rotate - 80 MPH
[ ] Landing gear – RETRACT
before 120 MPH (pitch up if necessary to avoid exceeding the 120 MPH gear
speed).
[ ] Power- reduce to 6
lbs/sq/inch boost pressure (maximum of +9 lbs/sq/inch may be used for climb – 1
hour limit).
[ ] Prop – 2600 RPM (maximum of
2850 RPM may be used for climb).
[ ] Trim – SET rudder NOSE
RIGHT AS REQUIRED
[ ] Airspeed in climb – 140/160
MPH IAS
[ ] Supercharger Control – F.S.
Gear as soon as boost pressure drops by 5 psi. Note: For a maximum performance climb the supercharger should be
shifted to F.S. Gear as soon as the boost pressure begins to drop.
Speeds for maximum rate of
climb
Up to 16000 ft 140 MPH IAS
at 21000 ft 135 MPH IAS
at 26000 ft 130 MPH IAS
at 31000 ft 125 MPH IAS
CRUISE
[ ] Radiator Shutter – FULLY
CLOSED
[ ] Trim – SET elevator NOSE
DOWN as required. SET rudder NOSE RIGHT as required.
Economy Cruise
[ ] Throttle – 0 lbs/sq/inch
boost pressure
[ ] Prop – 1800 to 2300 RPM
Maximum Cruise
[ ] Throttle – +4 lbs/sq/inch
boost pressure
[ ] Prop – 2600 RPM
DESCENT
[ ] Altimeter - SET
[ ] Fuel Selector- ALL
[ ] Throttle – AS REQUIRED
[ ] Prop – 1800 to 2600 RPM
[ ] Supercharger – SHIFT to
M.S. GEAR at 11000 ft
APPROACH
