Chapter 4. Engine Operation
4-1. Introduction
CAUTION: This section pertains to engine operations under various
operating conditions. Normal operations are presented first,
followed by emergency and abnormal operating conditions. The pilot
must read and thoroughly understand Section 4-4 and Section 4-5
prior to the occurrence of such conditions. Whenever abnormal
conditions arise, timely response is critical.
This chapter contains the O-200-D and X Series engine operating instructions to
supplement the AFM/POH.

Normal Operation

Emergency Operation
•
Operation in Abnormal Environments
This chapter provides operating instructions for engines with fixed pitch propellers and
supplements information in the Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) or Pilot’s Operating
Handbook (POH) provided by the aircraft manufacturer or supplemental type certificate
holder as required by the Title 14 CFR § 33.5 for aircraft operating procedures.
4-2. Flight Prerequisites
Perform the sequential tasks listed in the “Engine Operational Check” instructions in
Section 6-3.6 of the Maintenance and Overhaul Manual (M-2) on any engine that is newly
installed, repaired or overhauled prior to releasing the engine for normal operation.
WARNING
The “Engine Operational Check” in Section 6-3.6 of the
Maintenance and Overhaul Manual (M-2) must be completed
on an engine that has been installed, inspected, repaired, or
overhauled before the aircraft can be released for normal
operation.
DO NOT FLY THE AIRCRAFT UNTIL ALL FLIGHT
PREREQUISITES HAVE BEEN MET.
NOTE: Environmental conditions (humidity), seasonal changes, and
engine usage influence susceptibility to corrosion. Engines that are flown
occasionally (less than one time per week) are more vulnerable to
corrosion under these conditions. The best method of reducing the risk of
corrosion is to fly the aircraft weekly for at least one hour. The owner/
operator is ultimately responsible for recognizing corrosion and taking
appropriate corrective action.
After successful completion of the Engine Operational Check, perform a Flight Check
according to instructions in Section 4-2.3.
