7.4 LOW AND HIGH TEMPERATURES
7.4.1 PROCEDURES UNDER LOW TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS
Starting the engine may be difficult in case of low temperature.
Using the choke is always recommended.
The use of external power supply units is allowed in case of difficult start due to low efficiency of the
gyroplane battery.
7.4.2 PROCEDURES UNDER HIGH TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS
No special precaution is needed when using the gyroplane under high external temperature conditions.
The following indications should be followed however
a) Do not rest for too long during taxiing or in holding point.
b) When using maximum power for long periods of time, check the temperature values of the heads
and oil and make sure they do not exceed the maximum allowed values.
c) After flying with nose-up trim and at slow speed, check the temperature values of the heads and oil
and make sure they do not exceed the maximum allowed values.
NOTE:
High temperature conditions have negative effects on flight and climb characteristics, and on
takeoff distances.
