BALKED LANDING
(GO-AROUND).
In a balked landing (go-around) climb, the wing flap setting should
be
reduced
to 20° immediately
after
full power
is
applied.
After
all
obstacles are cleared
and
a safe altitude and
airspeed are
obtained, the
wing flaps should be
retracted.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION.
STARTING.
Prior
to
starting
on a cold morning,
it is
advisable
to
pull the
propeller
through
several
times
by
hand
to
"break loose
or
"limber"
the oil, thus conserving battery energy.
NOTE
When pulling the propeller
through
by
hand,
treat it as
if
the ignition switch
is
turned
on.
A loose or broken
ground wire on
either
magneto could cause the
engine
to
fire.
In
extremely cold (0°F and lower) weather,
the use
of an
external
preheater (for both the engine and battery) and an
external
power
source
is recommended whenever possible to obtain positive
starting and to
re-
duce wear and abuse
to the engine and the
electrical system. Pre-heat
will thaw the oil
trapped in the oil cooler, which probably will
be con-
gealed
prior to starting in extremely cold temperatures. When using an
external
power
source,
the position of the
master
switch
is important.

procedures are as
follows:
