speed, retract the flaps and turn the transponder back to
STANDBY. The transponder may be turned off if not required for
ground operations. Turn off the pitot heat to prevent overheating.

SHUTDOWN

1. Throttle – IDLE
2. Transponder – OFF
3. VHF Radio - OFF
4. GPS – OFF
5. Other Avionics -- OFF
6. Strobes – OFF
7. Instrument Switch -- OFF
8. Main Switch -- OFF
9. Ignition Switches – OFF (one at a time)
10. Fuel Valve -- OFF
11. GRS Safety Pin -- INSERT
12. Cabin Doors -- OPEN
When ready to shut the engine down, turn off the GPS, the VHF
radio, transponder and any other avionics. Turn the strobe lights
OFF, and then the instrument switch OFF. Finally turn the main
switch OFF. This process will prevent any unnecessary drain on the
battery after the engine has stopped as well as avoid possible
damage from ―ele ctrical spikes.‖
The process of shutting down the engine should be fluid and
prompt. Confirm that the throttle is at IDLE, turn off the first ignition,
and then the second in a 1-2-3 step process. Now that the engine
has stopped turning, turn the fuel valve to OFF
A secondary check of the ignition system can be noted on
alternate flights. This can be done by turning the 1 then 2
ignition switch off, alternating on the next shutdown with the 2
then 1 ignition switch off. A slight hesitation between each
switch will allow the engine to stabilize at a lower RPM and
confirm the ignition system. Do not remain at idle RPM on
one ignition system for an extended time.
Before moving about the cockpit and stowing the headsets, reinsert
the GRS safety pin into the activation handle. When opening the
cabin doors, reverse your method of the closing sequence.
