HOT ENGINE
=====================
NOTE
Perform the same as for COLD ENGINE items
except : Do not pull the choke control
NOTE
The engine starts easily with the throttle full
closed. Only in case of fuel flooding it is useful to
open the throttle to supply a large amount of air
to recreate the normal carburation condition.
NOTE
It’s strongly recommended that: The pilot,
immediately before engaging the engine starter,
shouts “CLEAR PROP”. After visual verification
that the propeller area is clear he can start the
engine. If someone is standing close to the
aircraft, it would be his responsibility to stay far
enough away and answer to the pilot
“PROPELLER CLEARED”.

POWER
Apply reduced engine power and use the brakes
at the minimum
STEERING
Steer the airplane using the rudder pedals, not
the brakes
CROSSWIND
In the event of a stronger than 19 mph/30 km/h
crosswind, taxi at a very low speed and move the
control stick laterally towards the up-wind wing;
this will raise the up-wind wing flaperon reducing
the possibility that the wing will accidental raise.
NOTE
Use rudder with the heels on the floor. That
should prevent accidental brakes operation.
