Pilot's Check Off List For Lockheed LODESTAR 18-10(P & W Rl830-SlC3G Engines) A. BEFORE STARTING ENGINES 1. Airplane master switch ON 2. Check position of: (a) Parking brakes ON (b) Landing gear control DOWN (c) Flab Control (Flaps up) NEUTRAL (d) Tail Wheel RELEASED (e) Vacuum Pump Selector Valve RIGHT OR LEFT (f) Static Selector (altimeter) RIGHT OR LEFT (g) Airspeed pump valves AIRSPEED (h) Turn and Bank Selector Valve VACUUM PUMP (i) Ignition Switches OFF (j) Gyro OFF (k) Check fuel quantity (Read inside when on ground) 3. Sets (a) Tank Selector to RIGHT FRONT (b) Engine Selector to BOTH ENGINES ON (c) Carburetor Heat Controls to COLD (d) Oil Heat Controls to HOT (e) Propeller Pitch to LOW (f) Mixture Controls to CUTOFF (g) Cowl flaps to OPEN (h) Throttle Controls 1/10 OPEN (i) Set time of flight clock (j) Set both altimeters 4. Start Engines (a) Stop if oil pressure does not register within thirty seconds. B. DURING WARM UP 1. Run at 1000 RPM until: (a) Oil temp. is 40(degrees)C (105(degrees)F) or higher (b) Oil pressure is 85 to 100 p.s.i. 2. Check hydraulic system by lowering and raising flaps (a) Return flap control to NEUTRAL 3. Check de-icer and hydraulic pressure gauges 4. Gyro Pilot Control (a) Move flying controls to extreme position each way and hold for a few seconds. (b)Check Gyro Pilot pressure gauge - 90 p.s.i. 5. With manifold pressure at approximately 30" Hg and propellers in low pitch check: (a) RPM APPROX. 2000 (b) Oil Pressure 85 to 100 p.s.i. (c) Fuel Pressure 15 to 17 p.s.i. (d) Oil Temperature 40° to 85° (105° to 185°F) (e) Cylinder Head temperature 120° to 232°C (250° to 450°F) (f) Run prop pitch to HIGH (g) Return prop pitch to LOW (h) Check magnetos RPM drop should not exceed 75 C. BEFORE TAKE-OFF 1. Check propeller pitch LOW (control forward) 2. Mixture AUTO RICH 3. Cowl flaps 10° OPEN for take-off (a) 3/4 to full open during climb 4. Tabs ADJUSTED FOR LOAD 5. Carburetor heat COLD (unless icing condition exist) 6. Oil Shutters OPEN (during cold weather, use 25% open 7. Tail Wheel LOCKED 8. Rechecks (a) Tank Selector Valve RIGHT FRONT (b) Engine Selector Valve BOTH ENGINES ON (c) Flaps UP - (Use up to 60% flaps for maximum take-off over obstacles) 9. Take off at (a) Manifold Pressure 48" HG (b) RPM-2700 Note: To preserve life of engines adjust manifold pressure to 40"Hg and RPH to 2550 as soon safety permits.
Transcription Notes:
I could not add the degree symbol to note 4.B.1
In line 4.B.4.A I do not know if you want to hit return so it matches spacing like in the document
I could not add the degree symbol to note 4.B.5.d-e
I could not add the degree symbol to note 6.C.5
