An over-primed/ flooded engine

Pg 4-12

38
Q

How do you clear a flooded engine?

A

Set throttle FULL open and mixture full lean, continue to motor engine for a few revolutions. Additional priming is not required, proceed with normal start sequence

A

30 sec summertime
60 sec winter

Pg 4-12

40
Q

Describe the flight control positions for taxiing with a headwind from the right.

A

Neutral elevator
Up aileron on RH wing
(Turn into the headwind)

Pg 4-13

41
Q

Describe the flight control positions for taxiing with a headwind from the left.

A

Neutral elevator
Up aileron on LH wing
(Turn into the headwind)
