WARNING
During long approaches and when descending from a
considerable height, it is not advisable to reduce the engine
throttle control to idle. In such case the engine becomes
overcooled and a loss of power might occur. When
descending, apply increased idle so that engine
instrument readings range within the limits for normal use.
