COLD WEATHER OPERATIONS
Special consideration should be given to the operation of the airplane
fuel system during the winter season or prior to any flight in cold
temperatures. Proper preflight draining of the fuel system is especially
important and will eliminate any free water accumulation. The use of
additives such as isopropyl alcohol or Diethylene Glycol Monomethyl
Ether (DiEGME) may also be desirable. Refer to Section 8 for
information on the proper use of additives.
Cold weather often causes conditions that require special care during
airplane operations.
Even small accumulations of frost, ice, or snow
must be removed, particularly from wing, tail and all control
surfaces to assure satisfactory flight performance and handling.
Also, control surfaces must be free of any internal accumulations of ice
or snow.
If snow or slush covers the takeoff surface, allowance must be made for
takeoff distances which will be increasingly extended as the snow or
slush depth increases. The depth and consistency of this cover can, in
fact, prevent takeoff in many instances.
NOTE
The waste gate controller will not respond quickly to
variations in manifold pressure when oil temperature is near
the lower limit of the green band. Therefore, under these
conditions, throttle motion should be made slowly and care
should be exercised to prevent exceeding the 32 in.hg.
manifold pressure limit. In addition, the fuel flow indications
may exceed 24 GPH on takeoff if the mixture isn't leaned to
compensate.
The Turbo-System engine installation has been designed such that a
winterization kit is not required. With the cowl flaps fully closed, engine
temperature will be normal (in the green band range) in outside air
temperature as low as 20° to 30°C below standard. When cooler
surface temperatures are encountered, the normal air temperature
inversion will result in warmer temperatures at cruise altitudes above
5000 feet.
