CARBURETOR TEMPERATURE (CARB °F)
Carburetor temperature is provided as a reference to determine the
potential for carburetor ice formation. The CARB °F indication is
provided on vertical tape and in digital form on the right side of the EIS
display atop the PFD and on the G300 ENGINE page. The tape display
range is from 20 to 80°F and the digital indication range is from -40°F to
100°F. A yellow caution range is depicted from 5°F to 40°F. A red-X is
displayed when the instrument is invalid or out of the data range.
Although carburetor ice is more likely to form at
temperatures within the yellow band range, it can form at
temperatures outside the yellow caution range. If engine
roughness or unexplained RPM loss is encountered, full
carburetor heat should be immediately applied.
NEW ENGINE BREAK-IN AND OPERATION
The initial engine run-in was accomplished at the factory and is ready
for the full range of use. It is recommended that cruising be
accomplished at 75% power as much as practicable until a total of 50
hours has accumulated or oil consumption has stabilized. This will
ensure proper seating of the piston rings. Low cruise power settings
should be used for extended descents during the first 25 hours of new
engine operations. Avoid extended descents with reduced power
settings.
