NORMAL OPERATING PROCEDURES
GENERAL
1.
The following procedures and checks are an expansion of the Pilot’s Checklist. While
the checklist is the in-flight reference document, a complete understanding of this manual is
critical for the safe operation of the aircraft.
GROUND HANDLING
General Ground Handling
2.
Ground handling is best achieved utilizing a tow bar which attaches to lugs on the nose
gear fork. A collapsible tow bar is stored on the aft wall of the baggage compartment for use
during deployed operations. To move the aircraft, push / pull on the wing struts and/or the tow
bar. The aircraft may be pivoted about either main wheel by pressing down on the aft fuselage
bulkhead just forward of the horizontal stabilizer to raise the nose wheel off the ground.
WARNING
Prior to moving the propeller or moving to a position inside the
propeller plane of rotation, visually confirm that the Ignition Switch is
in the OFF position and the keys are removed.
CAUTION
When manually moving the propeller blades is necessary, such as
repositioning to use a tow bar, the propeller shall only be moved in
its normal direction of rotation. Caution shall be exercised as the
impulse coupling may trigger an inadvertent start if a magneto is not
properly grounding. Regardless, the propeller shall never be turned
in reverse as this may damage the starter motor adapter.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to move the aircraft on the ground by pushing or
pulling on the propeller, spinner, or horizontal stabilizer assemblies.
CAUTION
To prevent inadvertent damage to the propeller, remove the tow bar
when ground handling is complete.
