SECTION 4
NORMAL PROCEDURES
With a new engine, try to use 75% power as often as
possible until either a total of 50 hours of operations have
been accumulated or the oil consumption has stabilized.
This will ensure that the piston rings seat correctly.
4.4.3.5 Descent
During descent, use the carburetor heat as required.
Take care not to exceed the maximum speed of the
engine (2700 RPM).
4.4.3.6 Approach and Landing
Flaps may be lowered to the first notch (22°) when the
airspeed is below 98 mph or 85 knots IAS. The maximum
speed for full flaps (50°) is 89 mph or 77 knots IAS.
Plan the pattern so that steep turns are not required
when turning from down-wind to base leg and from
base leg to final. Steep turns increase stall speed
(Figure 5-2 and 5-3, Stall Speed vs. Angle of Bank).
Steep turns, low power and slow airspeed can be
dangerous, particularly if the airplane is heavily
loaded and/or with gusty or turbulent wind
