will have approximately one and one half hours of fuel remaining if the tanks were full at takeoff. The
second tank will contain approximately one half hour of fuel. Do not run tanks completely dry in flight.
The electric fuel pump should be normally “OFF” so that any malfunction of the engine driven fuel pump
is immediately apparent. If signs of fuel starvation should occur at any time during flight, fuel exhaustion
should be suspected, at which time the fuel selector should be immediately positioned to the other tank and
the electric fuel pump switched to the “ON” position.
4.28 DESCENT
NORMAL
To achieve the performance on Figure 5-25 the power on descent must be used. The throttle should be set
for 2500 RPM, mixture full rich and maintain an airspeed of 126 KIAS. In case carburetor ice is encountered
apply full carburetor heat.
POWER OFF
If a prolonged power off descent is to be made, apply full carburetor heat prior to power reduction if icing
conditions are suspected. Throttle should be retarded and mixture control leaned as required. Power response
should be verified approximately every 30 seconds by partially opening and then closing the throttle (clearing
the engine). When leveling off enrichen mixture, set power as required and select carburetor heat off unless
carburetor icing conditions are suspected.
4.29 APPROACH AND LANDING
Check to insure the fuel selector is on the proper (fullest) tank and that the seat backs are erect. The
seat belts and shoulder harness should be fastened and the inertia reel checked.
NOTE
If the fixed shoulder harness (non-inertia reel type) is installed, it
must be connected to the seat belt and adjusted to allow proper
accessibility to all controls including fuel selector, flaps, trim, etc.,
while maintaining adequate restraint for the occupant.
If the inertia reel type shoulder harness is installed, a pull test of its
locking restraint feature should be performed.
Turn the electric fuel pump “ON” and turn the air conditioner “OFF.” The mixture should be set in
the full “RICH” position.
The airplane should be trimmed to an initial-approach speed of about 70 KIAS with a final-approach
speed of 63 KIAS with flaps extended to 40°. The flaps can be lowered at speeds up to 103 KIAS, if
desired.
