LEANING FOR GROUND OPERATIONS

For all ground operations, after starting the engine and when the
engine is running smoothly:
1. THROTTLE Control - 1200 RPM
2. Mixture Control - ADJUST (lean for maximum RPM)
3. THROTTLE Control - ADJUST for ground operation (800 to
1000 RPM recommended)
If ground operation will be required after the BEFORE
TAKEOFF checklist is completed, lean the mixture again
(as described above) until ready for the TAKEOFF
checklist.

TAXIING

DUE TO LOWER WEIGHTS AND SLOWER STALL
SPEEDS THAN LARGER AIRPLANES, PROPER TAXI
TECHNIQUES
CONDITIONS. OPERATIONS IN WIND CONDITIONS
ABOVE 22 KNOTS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED.
When taxiing, the combination of differential braking and free-castoring
nose wheel provide excellent ground maneuvering in tight spaces as
well as control during normal taxiing. Differential brake application
should be done by firm, short taps of the brake pedal so as to nudge
the airplane in the desired direction. Excess speed and "riding a brake"
should be avoided since this can cause brake heating, brake fade, or
loss of braking effectiveness resulting in loss of control or stopping
ability.
It is important that taxi speed be held to that of a brisk walk and all flight
controls be utilized up to their maximum deflection (refer to Figure 7-2,
Taxiing Diagram) to aid in maintaining directional control. This is
particularly important in windy conditions.
