SAFETY TIPS
10.1 GENERAL
This section provides safety tips of particular value in the operation of the Cherokee Warrior II.
10.3 SAFETY TIPS
(a)
Learn to trim for takeoff so that only a very light back pressure on the control wheel is required
to lift the airplane off the ground.
(b)
The best speed for takeoff is about 55 KIAS under normal conditions. Trying to pull the airplane
off the ground at too low an airspeed decreases the controllability of the airplane in the event of
engine failure.
(c)
Flaps may be lowered at airspeeds up to 103 KIAS. To reduce flap operating loads, it is desirable
to have the airplane at a slower speed before extending the flaps. The flap step will not support
weight if the flaps are in any extended position. The flaps must be placed in the “UP” position
before they will lock and support weight on the step.
(d)
Before attempting to reset any circuit breaker, allow a two to five minute cooling off period.
(e)
Before starting the engine, check that all radio switches, light switches and the pitot heat switch
are in the off position so as not to create an overloaded condition when the starter is engaged.
(f)
Anti-collision lights should not be operating when flying through cloud, fog or haze, since the
reflected light can produce spatial disorientation. Strobe lights should not be used in close
proximity to the ground such as during taxiing, takeoff or landing.
(g)
The rudder pedals are suspended from a torque tube which extends across the fuselage. The pilot
should become familiar with the proper positioning of his feet on the rudder pedals so as to avoid
interference with the torque tube when moving the rudder pedals or operating the toe brakes.
(h)
In an effort to avoid accidents, pilots should obtain and study the safety related information
made available in FAA publications such as regulations, advisory circulars, Aviation News, AIM
and safety aids.
(i)
Prolonged slips or skids which result in excess of 2000 ft. of altitude loss, or other radical or
extreme maneuvers which could cause uncovering of the fuel outlet must be avoided as fuel flow
interruption may occur when tank being used is not full.
