LANDING
I.
In anticipation of a go-around. with the need for high power
settings, the mixture control should be set "FULL RICH" before
landing.
NOTE ... Advance mixture slowly toward "FULL
RICH'~
If engine
roughness occurs. as may happen at very low throttle settings and
high RPM. it may be desirable to leave the mixture control approxi-
mately 3/4 open until the throttles are advanced above 15 inches of
manifold pressure.
2.
Operate the auxiliary fuel pump if equipped. as instructed by
aircraft manufacturer.
ENGINE SHUTDOWN
I.
If auxiliary fuel pump has been "ON" for landing. turn to
"OFF':
2.
Place mixture control in "IDLE CUT-OFF".
3.
Turn magnetos "OFF".
WARNING ... Do not turn the propeller while ignition
switch is in the
''BOTH'~
"LEFT" or "RIGHT" position,
since this could start the engine and cause injury. Do not
turn the propeller of a hot engine, even though the ignition
switch is in the "OFF" position; the engine could "KICK" as
a result of auto-ignition from a small amount offuel remain-
ing in the cylinders.
NOTE ... Good pilot technique is important for long engine life.
Execute all control movements consistently in a smooth. positive
manner.
