Time to go flying!.
Either bring up the kneeboard check-
list or use the “CHECKLIST” camera view.
We recommend starting from a “cold-
dark” state, that is all switches off, controls
zeroed and security chocks etc in place.
The kneeboard checklist is interac-
tive so you can tick off the boxes as you go
through the lists.
Never forget to switch on the master
ignition switch which is above the magnetos.
The magnetos switch operates using RIGHT
CLICK to go from OFF to BOTH and LEFT
CLICK to go back again.
Priming the engine when cold is im-
portant for trouble free starting. Click on the
chrome bezel of the primer to activate the
system. Right click the knob to operate the
primer. About 4 - 5 strokes should be
sufficient for a cold start.
Working your way through the check-
list will soon have your Cessn140 purring
along at idle. It is important to remember
that the Cessna140 has a carburettor which if
left to its own devices at idle will eventually
ice up and the engine will falter. Use of the
carburettor heat control
(20)
will ensure a
happy idle. Close it in flight.
Flying the 140 is
easy. She’s no racehorse
but can get along quickly
enough
with
careful
engine
management.
We
very
much
hope that you will find
your
Cessna140
an
enjoyable,
fun
and
rewarding
experience.
