SECTION 4 CUB CRAFTERS
NORMAL PROCEDURES CC18-180
4.4.2.3 Starting Engine When Flooded
The throttle should be in the full open position. Turn the
battery master switch on. Switch both magnetos on. The
mixture control should be in the idle cut-off position.
Verify that the propeller area is clear and engage the
starter. As soon as the engine fires, move the mixture
control to the rich position and retard the throttle. Oil
pressure should rise within 30 seconds; otherwise shut
the engine down.
4.4.2.4 Warm Up
Textron Lycoming recommends that before takeoff, the
engine should be warmed up for 2 to 3 minutes, although
longer may be required when the temperatures are below
freezing. The engine is warm enough when it idles at
around 600 RPM and accelerates smoothly.
Avoid running the engine at idle for too long as it will tend
to foul the spark plugs.
If you need to add power over loose stones or gravel, do
so carefully to avoid damaging the propeller.
4.4.2.5 Taxiing
Before starting to taxi, make sure that the propeller blast
will not affect the area behind the aircraft and that there
are no unapproved, unqualified people close to the
aircraft.
Apply power and keep the elevator control stick back at
all times. Apply both brakes and steer from side to side to
make sure the aircraft is controllable on the ground.
