7.2. STRAPPING IN
Lap straps should be adjusted snugly across the hips to reduce tendency for either occupant to slide forwards
under the strap. Shoulder straps should be adjusted with a little slack to allow any necessary movement during
flight and to ensure that the lap straps remain in place without slipping upwards in the event of accident.
Ballast for solo flight is not normally necessary, however if ballast is carried, it must be in a P&M Aviation
approved container and securely strapped into the rear seat using lap and shoulder straps.
7.3. STARTING ENGINE
The pilot must
always
start the engine when sitting in the cockpit with seatbelts secured and helmet worn.
Pre-start checks:
1. Passenger should also be strapped in and briefed.
2. Throttles both working and fully shut (never use the hand throttle for engine control on the ground).
If starter interrupt switch is fitted, starter will not operate unless hand throttle is CLOSED.
3. Check ignition switch operation and be prepared to turn off rapidly if required, before starting
according to the following procedure.
Parking brake set. Check by pushing firmly on propeller hub (ensure that the ignition switches are in the OFF
position before touching the propeller). Chock the aircraft securely.
All controls should be checked closed and ignition should be off. The parking brake if fitted should be applied.
Check the fuel is turned on.
ROTAX 912S/912 ENGINES
: Before the first start of the day it is a good idea to turn the engine over for 2
bursts of about 5 seconds, IGNITION OFF, to get the oil pumping around the engine and to fill the float bowls.
For the first start of the day use full choke, especially in very cold conditions. The choke system on the 4-stroke
engines is progressive, unlike the 2-
stroke’s, and the choke system automatically raises the idle speed quite
considerably, so you MUST have brakes applied. For all other starts unless hot, use about 1/3 choke. Before
start-up, check that both carbs are shut.
Failure to put on safety harness and wear front
seat or rear seat shoulder straps could be the
cause of injury or death in the event of an
accident.
Engine start-up is always a potentially dangerous time. Make sure that you have done all
your checks, that you are not disturbed while doing them, and that you are entirely happy
that the aircraft is in a fit state to be started-up. Finally, before start-up, ensure that the
aircraft is pointing away from people/vehicles/buildings etc, and that there are no pets or
other animals which could panic after start-up. Double check that the propeller is clear and
hand throttle is closed before starting the engine.
Ballast breaking free could cause injury or
death in otherwise survivable accidents.
