increase in RPM. When the carburetor heat is removed,
the RPM may increase beyond 1700 RPM.
Check all engine parameters. Apply an electrical load (for
example, by switching on the pitot heat) and observe that
there is an increase in the electrical current drawn from
the alternator.
Retard the throttle to idle to verify that the engine runs
smoothly at minimum RPM (at least 600 RPM). Advance
it to 1000 RPM.
In hot and high conditions, especially above 3,000 feet, it
is important to lean the mixture prior to the magneto
check. To do this, apply full power. Slowly lean the
mixture until you observe the peak RPM. Retard the
throttle slowly and proceed with the rest of the run-up.
Prior to takeoff, verify that the flight instruments operate
correctly. Ensure that the fuel selector is on BOTH, the
mixture is set, carburetor heat in the cold position and
trim adjusted for takeoff. Engine gauges should be in the
normal ranges. Flaps should be selected for takeoff; first
notch (22°) is recommended. The door should be closed
and seat belts fastened.
