Cold Weather Operation; Starting In Cold Weather; Balked Landing - Cessna TR182 1979 Pilot Operating Handbook

CESSNA
MODEL TR182
SECTION 4
NORMAL PROCEDURES
BALKED LANDING
In
a balked landing (go-around) climb, the wing flap setting should be
reduced to 20° immediately after full power is applied. After all obstacles
are cleared and a safe altitude and airspeed are obtained, the wing flaps
should be retracted. To prevent overboosting the engine, power should
then be reduced to approximately 25 inches of manifold pressure and the
carburetor heat control placed in the cold position.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
STARTING
Prior to starting on cold mornings, it is advisable to pull the propeller
through several times by hand to "break loose" or "limber" the oil, thus
conserving battery energy.
NOTE
When pulling the propeller through by hand, treat it as if
the ignition switch is turned on. A loose or broken ground
wire on either magneto could cause the engine to fire.
In
extremely cold
(-18°C
and lower) weather, the use of
an external pre-
heater and an external power source are recommended whenever possible
to obtain positive starting and to reduce wear and abuse to the engine and
the electrical system. Pre-heat will thaw the oil trapped in the oil cooler,
which probably will be congealed prior to starting in extremely cold
temperatures. When using an external power source, the position of the
master switch is important. Refer to Section 9, Supplements, for Ground
Service Plug Receptacle operating details.
Cold weather starting procedures are as follows:
With Preheat:
1. With ignition switch turned off, mixture full rich and throttle
closed, prime the engine one to two strokes.
NOTE
Use heavy strokes of the primer for best atomization of
fuel. After priming, push primer all the way in and turn to
the locked position to avoid the possibility of the engine
drawing fuel through the primer.
