SECTION 1 GENERAL LL INTRODUCTION This Pilot's Operating Handbook is designed for maximum utilization 4s an operating guide for the pilot. It includes the material required to be iurnished to the pilot by FAR 23, It also contains supplemental data supplied by the airplane manufacturer. This handbook is not designed as a substitute for adequate and com= petent flight instruction, knowledge of current airworthiness directives and Applicable federal air regulations or advisory circulars. Itis not intended to ibe guide for basie fight instruction or a training manual and should not be used for operational purposes unless kept in a current status Assurance that the airplane isin an airworthy condition is the responsi bility of the owner. The pilot in command is responsible for determining that he airplane is safe for flight. The pilot is also responsible for remaining within the operating limitations as outlined by instrument markings. placards, and this handbook. Aithough the arrangement of this handbook is intended to increase its in-flight capabilities, it should not be used solely as an occasional operating ‘sference. Ihe pilot should study the entite handbook to become familiar ‘sith the limitations, performance, procedures and operational handling characteristics of the airplane before flight, The handbook has been divided into numbered (arabic) sections, each provided with a “finger-tip" tab divider for quick reference. The limi: [ations and emergeney procedures have been placed ahead of the normal procedures, performance and other sections 10 provide easier access to information that may be required in flight. The “Emergency Procedures” Section has been furnished with a red tab divider to present an instant reference to the section. Provisions for expansion of the handbook have been made by the deliberate omission of certain paragraph numbers, figure numbers. tem numbers and pages noted as being intentionally left blank ISSUED: JANUARY 8, 1981 REPORT: VB-I110 REVISED: AUGUST 9, 1982 1 PIPER AIRCRAFT CORPORATION PA-34-220T, SENECA IIT Wing Area (sq. ft) 208.7 Min.

The preflight should include a determination of the airplane's opera- tional status, a check that necessary papers und charts are on board and in order. and a computation of weight and C.G. limits, takeoff distance and in-flight performance. Baggage should be weighed, stowed and tied down. Passengers should be briefed on the use of seatbelts and shoulder harnesses, oxygen. and ventilation controls, advised when smoking is prohibited, and cautioned against handling or interfering with controls, equipment. door handles, etc. A weather briefing for the intended flight path should be obtained. and any other factors relating to a safe flight should be checked before takeoff.

Below that temperature fine wire spark plugs are highly recommended to ensure engine starts, and are a necessity at +10°F and below. In addition, the use of external electrical power source and preheat is also recommended When ambient temperatures are below +20° F Upon entering the cockpit, begin starting procedure by moving the fuet selector to ON. Advance the mixture to full RICH and the throttle and prop controls to full FORWARD. Turn the battery switch and the ignition switches (mag.) ON. The auxiliary fuel pump should be OFF.

Prior to attempting the start, turn the propellers through by hand three times after ensuring that the magneto switches are off and mixture controls are in the full aft position. Upon entering the cockpit, begin the starting procedure by moving the fuel selector to ON. Advance the mixture to full RICH and the throttle and prop controls to full FORWARD.

Turn the battery switch OFF and turn all electrical equipment OFF Connect the RED lead of the PEP kit jumper cable to the POSITIVE (+) terminal of an external 12-volt battery and the BLACK lead to the NEGATIVE (-) terminal. Insert the plug of the jumper cable into the socket located on the fuselage. Note that when the plug is inserted, the electrical system is ON. Proceed with the normal starting technique After the engines have started, reduce power to the lowest possible RPM, to reduce sparking, and disconnect the jumper cable from the aireraft Turn the battery switch ON and check the alternator ammeter for an indi- cation of output.

CAUTION If the ship's battery has been depleted, the external power supply can be reduced to the level of the ship's battery. This can be tested by turning the battery switch ON momentarily while the starter is engaged. If eranking speed increases, the ship's battery is at a higher level than the external power supply. If the battery hhas been depleted by excessive cranking, it must be recharged before the second engine is started. All the alternator current will go to the low battery untit it receives sufficient charge, ‘and it may not start the other engine imme- diately, REPORT: VB-111/ SECTION 4 PIPER AIRCRAFT CORPORATION NORMAL PROCEDURES 4.25 PREHEATING The use of preheat and auxiliary power (battery cart) will facilitate starting during cold weather and is recommended when the engine has been cold soaked at temperatures of 10°F and below in excess of two hours. Suecessful starts without these aids can be expected at temperatures below normal, provided the aircraft battery is in good condition and the ignition land fuel systems are properly maintained, The following procedures are recommended for preheating, starting, warm-up, run-up and takeoff (a) Selecta high volume hot air heater. Small electric heaters which are inserted into the cowling “bug eye” do not appreciably warm the oil ‘and may result in superficial preheating, WARNING Superficial application of preheat to a cold soaked engine can have disastrous results ‘A minimum of preheat application may warm theengineenough to permit starting but will not de-congeal oilin the sump. lines. cooler. filter. ete. Typically. heat is applied to the upper portion of the engine for a few minutes after which the engin: and normal operation is commenced.

This procedure only compounds an already bad situation Proper procedures require thorough application of preheat to all parts of the engine. Hot air should be applied directly to the oil Sump and external oil lines as well asthe eylinders, airintake and oil coolee. Excessively hot air can damage non-metallic components such as seals, hoses and drive belts, so do not attempt to hasten the preheat process Before starting is attempted, turn the engine by hand or starter until it rotates freely. After starting, observe carefully for high or low oil pressure and continue the warm-up until the engine operates smoothly and all controls can be moved freely. Do not close the Cowl flaps to facilitate warm-up as hot spots may develop and damage ignition wiring and other components. Hot air should be applied primarily to the oil sump and filter arca ‘The oil drain plug door or panel may provide access to these areas. Continue to apply heat for 15 to 30 minutes and turn the propeller, bby hand. through 6 or & revolutions at 5 or 10 minute intervals, Periodically feel the top of the engine and, when some warmth is noted. apply heat directly to the upper portion of the engine for approximately five minutes. This will provide sufficient heating of the cylinders and fuel lines to promote better vaporization for starting. Hf enough heater hoses are available, continue heating the sump area, Otherwise, it will suffice to transfer the source of heat from the sump to the upper part of the engine. Start engine immediately after completion of the preheating Process. Since the engine will be warm, use normal starting procedure. NOTE Since the oil inthe oil pressure gauge line may be congealed, as muchas 60 seconds may elapse before oil pressure is indicated.

This combination of reduced power and increased climb speed provides better engine cooling, less engine wear, reduced fuel consumption, Tower cabin noise level, and better forward visibility. When reducing engine power the throttles should be retarded first, followed by the propeller controls.

During climbs under hot weather conditions, it may be necessary to use LO auniliary fuel pump for vapor suppression.
