inside the propeller plane of rotation, visually confirm
that the ignition switch is in the OFF position and the
keys are removed.

perform a Normal Start in accordance with the checklist;
e.
after start, monitor oil pressure / temperature and cylinder heat temperatures
closely to ensure operating minimums and maximums are maintained. Warm the
engine slowly at 1000 RPM, and do not close the cowl flaps to accelerate the
warm-up process;
