  • Page 24 CAUTION The starter should be activated for a maximum of 10 sec., followed by a 2 min. pause for starter motor cooling. After starting the engine, adjust the throttle for smooth running between 2500- 2750 rpm. Check the oil pressure, which should increase within 10 sec. Increase the engine speed after the oil pressure has reached 2 bars (29 psi) and is steady.
  • Page 25 If the cylinder head temperature or oil temperature exceeds its limit, reduce the climb angle to increase airspeed. 4.4.9 Cruise EV-97 teamEurostar UK flight characteristics are very forgiving within permitted limits of airspeeds, configurations and CG range. The aircraft is very easy to both control and manoeuvre.

  • Page 27 CAUTION Rapid engine cooling should be avoided. such cooling is most likely to occur during aircraft descent, taxiing, low engine rpm or at engine shutdown immediately after landing. Under normal conditions the engine temperatures stabilise during descent and taxiing at values suitable for stopping the engine by switching the ignition off. If necessary, cool the engine at 2500 –...
