4.21 BEFORE TAKEOFF
All aspects
of each particular
takeoff should be considered
prior to
executing the takeoff procedures.
If the airplane is to be operated with the
rear
cabin door removed,
it is
recommended that all passengers wear parachutes.
After all aspects of the takeoff are considered,
a pre-takeoff check
procedure must be performed.
Turn ON
the master switch and check and
set
all
of the
flight
instruments
as required.
Check
the fuel selector to make sure
it is on the
proper tank
(fullest).
Turn ON
the electric
fuel pump and check the engine
gauges. The alternate
air should
be in
the CLOSED position.
All seat backs should be erect.
The mixture and propeller
control levers should be set and the seat belts
and shoulder harness
fastened. Fasten the seat belts snugly around
the
empty seats.
NOTE
If the fixed shoulder harness
(non-inertia
reel
type) is installed, it must be connected to the
seat
belt
and adjusted
to allow proper accessi-
bility to all controls, including fuel selector,
flaps,
trim, etc., while maintaining adequate
restraint
for
the occupant.
If the inertia
reel type shoulder harness is
installed,
a pull test of its locking restraint
feature
should
be
performed.
Exercise and set the flaps and trim tab. Insure proper flight
control
movement
and
response.
All doors should be properly secured and latched.
On air conditioned models,
