To prevent battery depletion in prolonged taxi or holding position before takeoff, in-
crease RPM until the “AMPS” indication on the G1000 indicates a positive number.
-CAUTION-
The absence of RPM drop when checking magneto function may be an indication of
a malfunction in the ignition circuit resulting in a hot magneto (not grounding prop-
erly). Should the propeller be moved by hand, the engine may start and cause death
or injury. This type of malfunction must be corrected before operating the engine.
-WARNING-
Do not disregard the importance of pre- takeoff magneto checks. When operating on a
single ignition some RPM drop should always occur. Normal indications are 25 to 75
RPM and a slight engine roughness as each magneto is switched OFF. A drop in excess
of 150 RPM may indicate a faulty magneto or fouled spark plugs.
-CAUTION-
Continuous overboost operation may damage the engine and require engine
inspection.

Do not operate engine at a speed of more than 2000 RPM longer than necessary to test
engine operations and observe engine instruments. Proper engine cooling depends on
forward speed. Discontinue testing if temperature or pressure limits are approached.
-CAUTION-
Continuous overboost operation may damage the engine and require engine
inspection.
