Pagina afdrukken− Prior to take-off
•
Check the fuel level in the tank and the opening of the cock.
•
Fasten and check seat belts. WARNING: Safety belts should be placed at hip level and
tightened correctly. The belt loops under the seats are placed such as to ensure correct safety
belt positioning. Never remove safety belts from the belt loops under the seats: Safety belts
fastened at abdominal level may cause internal lesions in the event of violent shock.
•
Check cutoff by rapidly switching ON to OFF and back.
•
On the 503 model, check, after the engine has come up to working temperature, that the two
ignitions function correctly by flipping the switch on the engine support (central position =
ignition 1 + ignition 2).
•
Check that the control bar moves freely in roll and pitch axis.
•
Release the parking brake by a short push on the brake pedal.
− Take-off
Use full throttle for a short take off. Throttle back slightly after having climbed 100 m to spare
the engine. During normal flying, 3/4 throttle will suffice for take-off and climbing. Only use
full power under critical conditions (short take-off runs, obstacles, high-altitude flight). In that
case never reduce or cut the engine below the 100 m altitude to avoid stalling. For safety
reasons, use the throttle lever rather than the foot pedal at take-off for rough terrain.
− Cruising
Keep the aircraft level with the throttle between 1/4 and full depending on given airspeed.
Avoid repeated and sudden power climbs and dives to prevent sudden engine temperature
changes.
− Landing
The landing approach is best executed using the throttle pedal and both hands on the control
bar. At maximum load, keep the throttle at 1/4 of full power when on finals to facilitate flare-
out. Throttle back when the wheels touch the ground.
e) Emergency Procedures
− Power failure on take-off
Should the power unit fail during take-off, and significant height should not have been gained
maintain flying approach speed and land the aircraft straight ahead without attempting a return
to the landing field. If time allows, set ignition switch off and fuel cock off.
