BEFORE STARTING

[ ] Hood (Canopy) - OPEN

[ ] Parking brake - SET

[ ] Battery Switch - ON

[ ] Generator Switch - ON

[ ] Undercarriage Indicator Switch (green lights) - ON

[ ] Undercarriage Indicator Changeover Switch (duplicate lights) - ON to test then OFF

[ ] Instruments - CHECK

[ ] Altimeter SET for QFE

[ ] Lights - AS REQUIRED

[ ] Magneto Switches ON

[ ] Fuel Tank Selector ALL

[ ] Fuel Contents - CHECK

[ ] Controls FREE/FULL and CORRECT TRAVEL

[ ] Mixture - FULL RICH (press CTRL+SHIFT+F3 until lever is fully AFT)

Note: Mixture Control on this aircraft is fully automatic.

[ ] Throttle - ½ OPEN

[ ] Propeller control - FULL FORWARD

[ ] Supercharger control - MODERATE

[ ] Radiator Shutter FULLY OPEN

STARTING

Press CTRL+E to initiate engine autostart sequence, or:

[ ] Prime the number of strokes as required by the following table:

Air temperature °C: +30 +20 +10 0 -10 -20
Normal fuel: 3 | 4 | 7 | 12 |  |
High volatility fuel: |  |  | 4 | 8 | 18

[ ] Press the Starter pushbutton (pressing the starter pushbutton will automatically depress the Booster Coil pushbutton) HOLD UNTIL ENGINE STARTS

[ ] Oil Pressure CHECK (must rise within 30 seconds)

WARM UP/BEFORE TAXI

[ ] Open the throttle to give 1000 RPM IN COLD WEATHER (+10 and below)

WARM UP AT THIS SPEED UNTIL OIL AND COOLANT TEMPERATURES BEGIN TO RISE.

TAXIING MAY BEGIN IMMEDIATELY AFTER A TEMPERATURE RISE IS NOTED.

[ ] Check brake pressures (Press shift+6 to display triple pressure gauge)

Minimum for taxi - Pneumatic supply pressure 200 lbs/sq/inch, brake pressure at each wheel 80

lbs/sq/inch.

[ ] Radios AS REQUIRED

ENGINE RUN-UP

[ ] Parking Brake - SET

[ ] Open throttle slowly to 4 lbs/sq/inch boost pressure/2250 RPM (take care not to exceed this power setting to avoid a noseover).

[ ] Check operation of the constant speed prop by decreasing the prop RPM to low using the prop control lever in the VC, or on the Engine Controls Window (Shift+2), or by pressing CTRL+F1. RPM should fall to 1800. Return the prop lever to the high rpm position and observe that the RPM returns to 2250. In cold weather the prop should be cycled this way several times to bring warm oil to the dome and avoid sluggish operation in flight.

[ ] Check the operation of left and right magnetos by tuning to OFF first the Left magneto switch and then the RIGHT. RPM drop must not exceed 150 RPM.

[ ] Supercharger push pull control pull to engage S GEAR, observe slight RPM drop. Push to return to M GEAR for takeoff.

[ ] Oil Temperature CHECK

[ ] Coolant Temperature - CHECK

[ ] Fuel Pressure Warning Light - OUT ABOVE 800 RPM

[ ] Fuel Pressure - +11 psi at 2250 RPM

BEFORE TAKEOFF

[ ] Hood (Canopy) - OPEN

[ ] Trim - SET Elevator NEUTRAL (0 degrees) Rudder FULL NOSE RIGHT (+10 degrees)

[ ] Propeller control lever fully forward for fine pitch/high RPM

[ ] Supercharger control - MODERATE

[ ] Radiator Shutter FULLY OPEN

[ ] Flaps up to 28 degrees may be used.

TAKEOFF AND CLIMB

[ ] Brakes RELEASE

[ ] Throttle Open slowly to the gate position (+9 lbs/sq/inch boost 3000 RPM.

[ ] Rotate 80-90 MPH

[ ] Landing gear RETRACT before 120 MPH (pitch up if necessary to avoid exceeding the 120 MPH gear speed).

[ ] Power- reduce to 6 lbs/sq/inch boost pressure (maximum of +9 lbs/sq/inch may be used for climb 1 hour limit).

[ ] Prop 2600 RPM (maximum of 2850 RPM may be used for climb).

[ ] Trim SET rudder NOSE RIGHT AS REQUIRED

[ ] Airspeed in climb 140/160 MPH IAS

[ ] Supercharger Control F.S. Gear as soon as boost pressure drops by 5 psi. Note: For a maximum performance climb the supercharger should be shifted to F.S. Gear as soon as the boost pressure begins to drop.

Speeds for maximum rate of climb:

Up to 16000 ft: | 140 MPH IAS
at 21000 ft: | 135 MPH IAS
at 26000 ft: | 130 MPH IAS
at 31000 ft: | 125 MPH IAS

CRUISE

[ ] Radiator Shutter FULLY CLOSED

[ ] Trim SET elevator NOSE DOWN as required. SET rudder NOSE RIGHT as required.

Economy Cruise

[ ] Throttle 0 lbs/sq/inch boost pressure

[ ] Prop 1800 to 2300 RPM

Maximum Cruise

[ ] Throttle +4 lbs/sq/inch boost pressure

[ ] Prop 2600 RPM

DESCENT

[ ] Altimeter - SET

[ ] Fuel Selector- ALL

[ ] Throttle AS REQUIRED

[ ] Prop 1800 to 2600 RPM

[ ] Supercharger SHIFT to M.S. GEAR at 11000 ft

APPROACH

[ ] Hood (Canopy) - OPEN

[ ] Landing gear DOWN AND LOCKED VERIFY GREEN LIGHTS ILLUMINATED

[ ] Flaps AS REQUIRED Note: The flaps will be raised by the airflow if the 120 MPH

limit speed is exceeded.

[ ] Airspeed Engine assisted: 95-105 MPH IAS (105-115 MPH IAS flaps up).

[ ] Airspeed - Glide: 105 MPH IAS (115 MPH IAS flaps up).

[ ] Lights - AS REQUIRED

[ ] Radiator Shutter AS REQUIRED (FULLY OPEN for prolonged flight below 120 MPH IAS).

GO-AROUND

[ ] Landing gear RAISE IMMEDIATELY

[ ] Climb 90 to 120 MPH IAS

[ ] Flaps RAISE AT A SAFE HEIGHT OF ABOUT 200-300 ft AND A SPEED OF NOT LESS THAN 120 MPH IAS.

LANDING

[ ] Airspeed at touchdown 65 to 85 MPH IAS

AFTER LANDING

[ ] Flaps RAISE BEFORE TAXIING

[ ] Radiator Shutter FULLY OPEN

ENGINE SHUT-DOWN

[ ] Idle engine for 30 seconds at 800 to 900 RPM.

[ ] Slow-Running cutout control - CUT

[ ] Lights OFF

[ ] Undercarriage Indicator Switch (green lights) - OFF
