Engine Operation
4-3.6. Take-Off
WARNING
If, during preflight check or engine warm-up, any operational
abnormalities occur, do not takeoff. Determine the cause and
take corrective action necessary to maintain airworthiness.
Supplement the AFM/POH take-off procedures with these engine settings:
1. Mixture.............................................................. FULL RICH
2. Cowl Flaps ........................................................ Refer AFM/POH
3. Throttle.............................................................. Advance for rated takeoff power
CAUTION: Cylinder head and oil temperatures must never be
allowed to exceed limits. Near maximum temperatures should occur
only when operating under adverse conditions such as high power
settings, low airspeed, extreme ambient temperatures, etc. Take
remedial steps to reduce such temperatures as soon as possible. If
excessive temperatures are noted and cannot be explained, or if
abnormal cowl flap and/or mixture settings are required to maintain
temperatures, inspect to determine cause. Possible causes are
broken or missing baffles, inoperative cowl flaps, sticking oil
temperature control unit, or restricted fuel flow. Faulty instruments
or thermocouples may cause erroneously high (or low) indications.
Refer to troubleshooting procedures in Section 8 of the Maintenance
and Overhaul Manual (M-6).
