1 GENERAL
This chapter describes the Operational and Functional check that must be performed on the
aircraft before and after carrying out the Scheduled Maintenance Inspection. It is intended to
determine malfunctions or defects. The Operational and Functional check involves operating
the engine and taxiing the aircraft. Therefore, whoever performs this check must be familiar
with the aircraft and its systems and the risks and dangers of operating an aircraft on the
ground. Attention is drawn to the fact that this aircraft has a tail wheel configuration and its
behavior during taxiing is different from an aircraft with a nose gear. The operator must be
familiar with taxiing a tail wheel aircraft before attempting to perform this check.
During the check, observe engine temperatures limitations.
