Throttle - moderate level to not further raise oil press As engine warms up and the pressure might reduce If oil pressure does not become normal, stop engine. Check oil viscosity - via engine Operator’s manual. In flight The oil pressure may achieve a high value if after an oil line blockage. Apply the following procedure: Throttle - reduce to 50% power Land as soon as possible Be prepared for engine failure and Emergency landing to terrain (see Art.
• Engine keeps running with ignition off • Knocking under load Oil pressure • Low oil pressure • High oil pressure Oil level • Oil level is increasing Cold engine start • Engine hard to start at low temperature Detailed information about engine Abnormal Operations have been written in engine Operator’s Manual. 3.3.16.
After 1 – 2 min gradually increase power of the engine to cruising power If you fall to regain engine power, perform an Emergency landing to terrain (see 3.3.2). Aircraft is approved to operate in conditions VFR without creating known icing only In the case of icing on the wing leading edge, the stall speed could be increased.

The whole complex is designed so that both of the flaps slides simultaneously, therefore it is impossible that the slide will be not on an even keel. Flap effect is compensated by deflection of lift-side trim surface. The lef-side trim surface is automaticaly deflected according to actual flap position.
7.3.5. Brakes Foot brakes The foot brakes are situated above the rudder pedals. This brakes are used for stop airplane from low speed and for easier turning the airplane on the ground. They cannot be used for permanent braking! You could damage brake. Control the airplane speed with the throttle lever! The brakes are activated by pushing them forward with your big toe.
7.4.2. Propeller Detailed data of the propeller is stated in the Propeller Technical Manual. SR 3000/2WN is a two bladed electrically operated in flight adjustable ULL aircraft propeller of mixed tructure intended for the following engines: • Subaru EA 81, BMW •...
8.3. Ground handling The SKYLEADER 600 is a lightweight aircraft, which is easy to handle on the ground. It is preferable to move the aircraft with its special towing handle. The aircraft may be ped carefy from the propeller (by grasping beside the spinner) or pushed from the upper surface of centroplan carefy.
8.4. Towing instructions The SKYLEADER 600 can accept a Tow Bar connection. The tow bar is attached to two short horizontal pins protruding from the nose landing gear leg. When handling the aircraft on the ground, it is preferable to use the tow bar When the tow bar is attached to the nose landing gear, the aircraft can be easily moved by hand.

It is not stated in this handbook. Brake fluid servicing by Maintenance Manual for JA 600. It is not stated in this handbook. 8.8.
8.9. Accumulator maintenance A non-maintenance gel accumulator 12V/17Ah (or similar) is used in the airplane. With this type of accumulator it is not necessary to check the electrolyte level. The accumulator is placed on the right side of firewall in engine compartment. Charge the battery as required.
8.10. The governor rectifier circuit breaker The circuit breaker is instrumental for the protection of the electrical systems of the engine. The circuit breaker will cut out automatically if there is a current overload of these systems. When possible failure is rectified, pushing on the circuit breaker can reconnect the system.
8.11. Aircraft maintenance at the end of flying day Wash the plane and the propeller with water without addition of detergents at the end of flying day. It is recommended to use any dish washing detergent or car shampoo for washing the surface behind the exhaust for easier removal of the dirt from the exhaust pipe.
