be opened fully while taxiing. The aircraft should be parked so as
to face into the wind to take advantage of the cooling effect.
Restarting attempts will be the most difficult during the 30
minutes to one hour following that interval, the fuel vapor will be
less pronounced and normally will present less of a restart
problem.
Normal starting procedure should be used except that the throttle
should be opened more while cranking.
2. Ground Operation Under High Ambient Temperature
Conditions. Oil and cylinder temperatures should be monitored
closely during taxiing and engine run up. Operate with cowl £laps
(if installed) full open and do not operate the engines at high RPM
except for necessary operational checking. If takeoff is not to be
made immediately following engine run up, the aircraft should be
faced into the wind and the engine idled at 900 - 1000 RPM.
3. Takeoff and Initial Climbout. Temperatures should be closely
monitored and sufficient airspeed maintained to provide adquate
cooling of the engine.
GROUND OPERATION AT HIGH ALTITUDE AIRPORTS.
Prior to take-off from fields above 5000 feet elevation, the
mixture should be leaned to give maximum RPM in a full-throttle,
static runup.
