throttle. Oil pressure should rise within 30 seconds;
otherwise, shut the engine down.
4.4.2.4 Warm Up
Before takeoff the engine should be warmed up for two to
three minutes minimum, although longer may be required
when the temperatures are below freezing. The engine is
warm enough when it idles at around 600 rpm and
accelerates smoothly. Ensure the oil pressure is within
the green arc on the gauge.
Avoid running the engine at idle for too long, as it will
tend to foul the spark plugs.
If you need to add power over loose stones or gravel, do
so carefully to avoid damaging the propeller.
4.4.2.5 Taxiing
Before starting to taxi, make sure that the propeller blast
will not affect the area behind the aircraft and that there
are no unapproved, unqualified people close to the
aircraft.
Release the parking brakes. Apply power and keep the
elevator control stick back at all times. Apply both brakes
and steer from side-to-side to make sure the aircraft is
controllable on the ground.
