SECTION 4. NORMAL PROCEDURES
1 PREFLIGHT
A thorough pre-flight inspection is essential to the safe conduct of your flight. The following procedures are recommended:
Front
- Inspect bubble for cracks
- Inspect landing lights
- Inspect airspeed anemometer
- Inspect beacon and front nav lights
- Inspect right skids and struts
Right Side
- Inspect battery and electrical connections
- Inspect primary and auxiliary fuel pumps and fuel lines
2 STARTING
Use the following procedure for normal starts:
- Controls – neutral
- Collective – full down
- Throttle – idle
- Mixture - lean
- Beacon – on
- Fuel Cutoff – on
- Switches (Bat., Gen., Fuel Pump) – on
- Rotor Brake – on
- Collective – raise slightly, then lower (verify low rpm horn sounds)
- Volts – verify > 9 volts
- Mags – both
- Throttle full and Mixture full rich for 4 seconds, then back to throttle idle and mixture cutoff. (This primes engine for start. Avoid priming too long to prevent flooding of engine*)
- Starter – press and hold until engine starts
- Mixture – Full rich as soon as engine starts
- Rotor brake – off
- Oil Press – Wait for > 25 psi
- Cylinder Temp – Wait for > 100 C
- ELT - ARMED
- Transponder – ALT
- Radios - set
- Throttle – slowly increase to 2000 RPM.
- Throttle – chop quickly. Verify needle split then back to 2000 RPM.
- Fuel pump – off (verify brief drop in fuel pressure)
- Fuel pump – on
- Throttle – slowly increase to 2900 RPM
- Mag check
- Mags – left (verify drop 50-150 RPM)
- Mags – both (rpm returns to 2900)
- Mags – right (verify drop 50-150 RPM)
- Mags – both
- Governor – on
- Lights – As Required
- Note: If you flood the engine, clear the flood by cranking the starter 2-3 seconds with mixture at FULL. Then move mixture back to LEAN and attempt to start again.
To bypass the normal procedure and start immediately, you can use the "Fast Start" button on the "@Cheats" menu.
3 SHUT DOWN
Use the following procedure to shut down the engine:
- Controls – neutral
- Collective – full down
- Governor – off
- Throttle – decrease to 2000 RPM
- Cylinder Temp – stabilized (about 160C)
- Throttle – idle
- Mixture – cutoff
- Mags – off
- Rotor brake – on (when below 200 RPM)
- Switches (Bat., Gen., Fuel Pump) – off
