WARNING
If OAT is extremely low, i.e. at high altitudes or in cold areas, battery
capacity after longer soaring time might be too low for engine restart.
Successful engine restart might only be possible at higher temperatures
and lower altitudes. This must be taken into account for flight and route
planning.
CAUTION
Engine restart in the air: The propeller may continue turning with the
engine not running (following an unsuccessful engine airstart), because
engine and propeller are isolated by a centrifugal clutch.
A running engine is indicated by the RPM-indicator not by observing the
propeller turning.
