4.3 TAXIING PROCEDURE

It is necessary to proceed very carefully during taxiing:
1. Rotor: align the rotor with the gyroplane during taxiing.
2. Engine: Make sure the oil temperature is not less than 50°C before
taxiing to the runway.
3. Engine rpm: Set engine rpm between 1800 to 2000 rpm for taxiing and
adjust the speed applying brakes.
4. Steering: The aircraft is steered by the pedals which turn the nose
wheel in standard fashion (right foot forward, nose wheel turns to the
right). Taxi slowly and be extremely careful on rough terrain.
When taxiing on uneven ground hold the control stick to avoid the rotor
blades and control system hitting their mechanical stops.
4.4 PRE-TAKEOFF CHECKS
Before takeoff execute the following checks:
1. Fuel pressure checks (914 only): Switch OFF the left pump and
verify the fuel pressure is correct, switch it ON and switch OFF the right one
to verify the pressure. Switch ON the right again.
Keep both pumps working during all flight.
2. Ignition check: Apply parking brakes
