Normal procedures 4.4.1 Before entering cockpit Aeroplane surface - check all covers removed. Including Pitot cover Cockpit - check items inside the cockpit stowed correctly. Ignition - off. Master switch off. 4.4.2 After entering cockpit Rudder pedals - free movement check. Brakes - check function. -
Page 23: Engine Check Ground Run Only
4.4.4 Engine Check ground run only Chock the main wheels before engine check. Initially warm up the engine at 2000 rpm for two minutes then continue to 2500-2750 rpm until the oil temperature reaches 50°C (122 °F). The warm up period depends on ambient air temperature. Check both ignition circuits at 3500 - 4000 rpm. -
