For takeoff , climb and a t low levels AMSL fu l ly rich should always be selected and locked. I n the cruise i t may be weakened t o reduce fuel pressure t o the value derived from the performance graph a t Section 5. Weakening beyond t h i s point will cause rough running and may lead t o RPM surging as the constant speed unit attempts t o maintain RPM under conditions of f luctuating power. This fuel pressure s e t t i ng gives the mixture which i s the most e f f ic ien t for that par t icu la r RPM, temperature, speed and a l t i t ude and will need reset t ing i f any of these conditions change. The mixture should always be se t fu l ly rich before changing a n y t h r o t t l e se t t ing or commencing any climb or descent.. The engine should normally be stopped on the ground by se t t ing the mixture t o cutoff so tha t fuel i s n o t i e f t in the cylinders a f t e r t he engine has stopped; t h i s stops lubricating o i l being washed from the cylinder walls and minimises the chance of the engine f i r i ng i f the propeller i s turned.
Should the engine ever seem t o be suffering from power loss with no other symptoms (eg mechanical noise, o i l system malfunction, induction icing) immediately s e l ec t the mixture t o f u l l y rich in case incorrect mixture was the cause of the t rouble .
6.2.8A Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) Gauqe (Mod 313)
An E . G . T . gauge i s mounted a t the bottom right-hand s ide of the instrument panel (Fig. 8.4C). A probe placed in to the exhaust pipe operates the gauge without need for any additional power supply. During f l i g h t in c ru ise conditions, a t power se t t ings of no t above 75%, the mixture can be leaned until the needle of the EGT gauge ju s t peaks. This se t t ing i s the recommended lean mixture position. For ease of reference the adjustable pointer may be pre-set t o peak EGT
CAUTIONS
(1) E N G I N E DAMAGE MAY BE CAUSED BY MAXIMUM L E A N I N G AT HIGHER THAN RECOMMENDED CRUISE POWER SETTINGS.
(2) THE E N G I N E MUST NOT BE OPERATED AT ANY TIME ON THE LEAN SIDE OF PEAK EGT.

6.5 THE UNDERCARRIAGE
6.5.1 General Description
The fixed t r i cyc le undercarriage i s f i t t e d with shock absorbers and pneumatic tyres. The nosewheel i s steerable and disc brakes are fitte. ' to the mai nrhee; s . 6-5-2 Tvres .I
Ail the tyres a re tubed and thus, if the ty re moves round on the h u b , there i s a danger that the inner tube valve may be torn leading t o sudden ty r e deflat ion. For t h i s reason 'creep' marks are painted on the ty re and h u b such tha t , with the ty re , tube and valve in the correct position, the marks on the hub and ty r e ar.e lined up. Whilst the two marks a re s t i l l touching each other the amount of any creep i s acceptable b u t the wheel must be removed for examination when the marks are no longer touching each other,
NO CREEP ACCEPTABLE CREEP UNACCEPTABLE CREEP
The ty r e should never be used i f the wear i s such that any part of the tread i s no longer v i s ib le or i f any cut i s suf f ic ien t ly deep t o have penetrated the rubber tread t o the cords of the ty re car case. Other t y r e damage may include scald marks and f l a t spots (bald patciies); engi neering advice should be sought before tyres with t h i s damage are used. The correct in f la t ion pressures for the tyres are 24 psi fo r mainwheels and 50 psi fo r the nosewheel ; these pressures are marked on the undercarriage legs. The tyr es are e l ec t r i ca l l y conductive and thus there i s no need fo r any earthing s t a t i c discharge wires.

5.5.3 The Nosewheel - -.
The nosevineel incorporates an oleo..pneumati c shock absor.ber s t r u t . A hole i n the t o p of each s ide of the nose~iheel fork allows connection of a ground handling arm. See 6.5.5 fo r de ta i l s of the nosewheel steering. Correct oleo-pressures must give a leg extension of about 3 inches as the combi nati on of low oleo-pressure and rough groiind could cause the propeller, t i p s t o s t r i k e the ground. Thus care must be taken when taxying over uneven ground or when braking hard and the control column must be kept in a position that does not tend t o force the nose down.
0
6.5.4 The Mainwheels ----.
The mainwheels each incorporate an oleo-,pneumati c shock absorber s t ru t Correct oleo-pressures should give leg extensions of about 3 inches.
6.5.5 Nosewheel "- Steerinq
The nosewheel i s steerable by the rudder pedals and acts in the same sense as the rudder: when the r ight rudder pedal i s pressed with the a i r c r a f t moving the a i r c r a f t nose swings t o the r ight . When the a i r c r a f t i s not moving i t takes a lo t of force t o twist the nosewheel from side t o side; fo r t h i s reason the rudder pedals should n o t be moved when the a i r c r a f t i s s tar ioaar :~ and the rudder should n o t be moved during the pre-fl ight check or excessive s t r a in may be p u t on the system. The only nethod of checking the ?udder system for f u i l and f r e e movement on the ground i s t o find a safe area and apply fu l l rudder in each direct ion whi 1st the a i r c r a f t i s moving. The nosewheel i s self-centering by a spring.'-and--taro mechanism and t h i s spring action tends t o give the rudders a r t i f i c i a l "feel" i n the a i r as the nosewheel always remains connected t o the rudder controls.
6.5.6 Wheelbrakes
Independent brakes are f i t t e d t o the mzin.rrhee1s. They are hydraulically operated by pedals on the rudder bars, %he l e f t wheel brake being operated by the l e f t rudder pedal and the r igh t braki by the right rudder pedal. The hydraulic reservoir i s behind the left-.hand seat on the back of the bulkhead, A s e t of br'ake pedals i s f i t t e d t o both s e t s of rudder bars. Braking action i s progressive, more pressure being applied at the discs as the pedais a re pushed fur ther . The brakes can be locked in the f u l l y on position by f i rs l : applying the brakes fu l l y and then moving the parking brake lever back to the ON position: in t h i s position the pr.essure fed t o the brakes i s then trapped i n the system. The parking brake i s released by moving the parking brake lever t o OFF. A collar on the parking brake lever has t o be pulled up the lever snank before the lever can be ~noved from ON t o OFF or froin OFF t o ON. Once the parking brake control has been moved to ON the brakes can be applied if they are not already on; once on, they can only be released by moving the control t o OFF.

6.7.6 Control Lock
> A control lock i s introduced by Mod 316 or Mod 435. This consis ts of a transverse bar with sockets which locate on the rear faces of the control columns. A t the centre of the bar i s a fu r the r socket which, when secured by the f l ap lever in the Flaps Up posit ion, locks the a i lerons neutral and the elevator fu l l y down.
-
There i s no stowage fo r the control lock, which must be removed from the a i r c r a f t before f l i g h t .
Depending upon the l ike ly wind conditions and the direct ion in which the a i r c r a f t i s parked, the controls may be locked with the e levators in the u p position by using the right-hand p i lo t s buckle s t r ap and lap s t r ap , passing them around the left-hand control column and taking u p the slack. c
The rudder/nosewheel should be l e f t on fu l l right lock. In t h i s position the nosewheel/ground f r ic t ion prevents movement of t he rudder i n windy condi t ions .
6.7.7 Flaps (Ref I l lus t ra t ion 8. .5)
The f laps occupy the inboard two-thirds of each t r a i l i n g edge, a small portion of the extreme inboard t r a i l i ng edge not being used so tha t i t can form a walkway.. No portion of the f laps i s s t ressed fo r walking on . The f l ap control has 3 positions; up ; 18" ( takeoff) ; and 40" (landing). So tha t there will be no a i r loads f e l t when operating the f l aps in the a i r , a spring i s f i t t e d which a s s i s t s down selection. . This r e su l t s in the f l aps being strongly biased in the down direct ion on the ground, and care must be taken when lowering them on the ground t o s top them from slamming t o the down position. The control lever (Item 3 Fig. 8.5) i s positioned on the centre console and can be locked in any of the 3 f lap posit ions; when the lock i s fu l l y engaged, a dark coloured spring-.loaded button in the end of the control lever protrudes f a r enough t o show a white ring a t the base of the button. To move the f l ap from one select ion t o another, the button must f i r s t be pressed in t o disengage the lock; the lever i s then f r e e t o move. As the f laps approach the required position, the button should be released so t ha t i t i s f ree t o engage the lock a t the new posit ion. On the ground, the spring balance tends t o pull the f laps down and t h i s makes i t d i f f i c u l t t o disengage the lock; t o achieve th i s i t i s necessary t o push the f l a p lever in the UP direction t o balance the spring pressure before attempting t o press the button in .
The f laps a re correct ly locked when the button in the end of' the se lec tor lever protrudes f a r enough t o enable the white band locking indicator on i t t o be seen.. I t i s important, par t i cu la r ly when ra is ing the f laps , t o check tha t the locking indicator i s v i s ib le ; i f i t i s not, then the f laps are not correctly locked and may move t o a d i f fe ren t posit ion without action by the P i lo t .

The following d r i l l should then be followed t o avoid running out of s tar ter time. Leave the magneto on Left and the fuel a t cutoff; open the th ro t t l e fu l ly ; operate the s t a r t e r for 5 seconds; t h i s will drain the fuel f r m the cylinders and the engine may actually s t a r t ; if i t s t a r t s , quickly return the t h r o t t l e t o a quarter open a~nd p u t the mixture t o fu l ly rich.

7.2 HANDLING IN FLIGHT
7.2.1 Takeoff
After t es t ing the engine, which should be done on every f l i g h t and -- not jus t on the f i r s t f l i g h t of each day, carry out the takeoff
checks from the FRCs. Takeoff performances are given in Section 5.
Line the a i r c r a f t u p on the takeoff path, release the brakes and open the t h r o t t l e fu l ly in about 2 seconds. Check that the RPM i s between 2600 RPM and 2650 RPM and that the oil pressure, o i l temperature and cylinder head temperature are not red. There i s l i t t l e tendency for the a i r c r a f t t o swing for reasons of torque or slipstream ef fec t s as the a i r c r a f t has been designed t o minimise these charac te r i s t ics . The nosewheel should be l i f t e d just c l ea r of the ground as soon as t he elevator becomes e f fec t ive , a t approximate1 y 30 kts , keeping the nosewheel jus t c lear of the ground by progressive easing forward of the control column as the speed increases The a i r c r a f t can be flown off a t 50 kts (Pre mod 358) 55 kts (Post mod 358) with takeoff f l ap or 53 kts (Pre mod 358) 64 kts (Post mod 358) f lap less .
7.2.2 Crosswind Takeoff
> If the wind i s approaching the crosswind l imi t of 25 kts , t he < nosewheel should not be raised unti l the takeoff speed when the a i r c r a f t should be rotated cleanly to the climbing a l t i t ude . A n y tendency f o r the upwind wing t o l i f t during a crosswind takeoff should be corrected by the use of a i lerons.
7.2.3 Climb
I n i t i a l l y climb a t a shallow angle, allowing the speed t o increase t o 80 kts clean, 75 kts with takeoff f l ap A t 200 f t , apply the brakes momentarily t o stop any vibration from the rotating mainwheels and ra i se the f laps in stages, increasing t o the appropriate speeds, until the f laps a r e up . There i s l i t t l e sink or trim change whilst the f laps are raised unless the a i r c r a f t i s s ignif icant ly below the correct speed. Climb a t 80 kts a t ful l t h ro t t l e , checking tha t the RPM i s approximately 2650 - 2700 RPM. The a i r c r a f t will i n i t i a l l y climb a t approximately 1100 ft/min, a t sea level ISA conditions and MTWA
The mixture should be l e f t a t fu l ly rich a t a l l power se t t ings above 75% unless t h i s resu l t s in rough running; in t h i s case progressively weaken the mixture and observe the manifold pressure. As the mixture i s weakened, the manifold pressure will stay steady b u t then s t a r t decreasing. Some uneven engine running may also be apparent a t t h i s point, richen the mixture again unti l smooth running i s regained and the manifold pressure returns t o the original f igure; leave the mixture a t t h i s se t t ing . I t i s unlikely that any mixture adjustments will be needed below 5000 f t amsl in the climb.. I t should be remembered tha t t h i s mixture se t t ing i s appropriate f o r only one combination of manifold pressure, a l t i t ude and engine RPM, and a change in any of these factors will resul t in the need t o reset t he mixture.

PILOTS NOTES FIREFLY T67M200
The mixture should always be se t t o fu l ly rich before descending as the weaker mixtures applicable t o f l i gh t a t a l t i t ude are too weak f o r correct engine operation a t lower levels ; thus the engine may not respond correct ly t o t h r o t t l e opening a t the bottom of the descent i f weak mixture i s s t i l l selected, .
7 .2 .4 General Flyinq
Introduction The l imitations and centre ot gravlty requlrements should always be checked before any f l i g h t t o ensure t ha t the a i r c r a f t parameters r i l l be complied with.
Fl yinq Controls The flying controls are we1 1 -balanced and very - l i t t l e rudder i s required with aileron application as the ailerons cause l i t t l e asymmetric drag, even a t fu l l ai leron def lect ion.
Trimmer T h 2 elevator trimmer i s very powerful and care should be exercised i n i t s use. The out-of-trim forces require firm b u t manageable pressure i f the trimmer i s operated t o e i t he r extreme within the speed range.. There are no rudder o r ai leron trimmers available t o the pi l o t . The directional trim changes associated with power and speed a l te ra t ions require the use of only small rudder, pedal movements t o maintain balanced f l i gh t .
Power Mixture Chanqes Alterations in power se t t ings cause pitch/yaw movements, t he movements being proportional t o the power change. The propeller turns clockwise, the following pitchiyaw changes occurring w i t h power a l t e r a t i ons:
Power Increase Power Decrease
Pitch Nose Up Nose Down
Yaw Nose Left Nose Right
The mixture control should invariably be s e t t o fu l ly rich before any change in power s e t t i ng i s made as the change may resul t in too weak a mixture and consequent rough running o r high cylinder head temperatures. Mixture adjustments in the cruise should be made using the same procedure as outlined for the climb. The engine performance figures for climb, c ru ise and endurance are given in Section 5 .
Flaps The maximum speed for operating the f laps i s 88 kts IAS for both f lap positions Pre Mod 656. Post Mod 656 maximum speeds a r e 120 kts (IAS) takeoff position and 98 kts (IAS) landing position.. The f laps can be operated with l i t t l e e f for t in the a i r a t the normal c i r cu i t speeds, b u t more e f fo r t i s needed a t the upper speed l imi t . Care must be taken t o ensure tha t the flap lever i s locked in the selected position a f t e r operation. Should the f laps be l e f t unlocked they will tend t o move t o the down position a t low speed; t h i s may be s ign i f ican t , par t icu la r ly during s t a l l i n g o r aerobatics when the changed f l i g h t character is t ics and 1 imitations may resu l t in unexpected a i r c r a f t behaviour or overstressing. There i s l i t t l e trim change unless the f laps are operated a t the extreme of the speed l imit . .

There i s s ign i f ican t change in l i f t charac te r i s t i cs and l i t t l e drag penalty with takeoff f l ap (18") ; landing f lap (40") se lect ion resu l t s in very l i t t l e more l i f t b u t a large increase in drag. The trim changes a re as follows, the a i r c r a f t staying in level f l i g h t during a l l f l ap select ions:

The ai 1 erons have exceptional drag balance during ai 1 eron application; very l i t t l e rudder i s needed t o maintain balanced f l i g h t during ro l l ing manoeuvres, even with fu l l ai leron appal ication. . The a i r c r a f t i s s t ab l e in pitch and i s eas i ly trimmed. There i s no tendency f o r the a i r c r a f t t o become unstable in pitch a t extremes of speed or ' g ' .
Sideslippinq The a i r c r a f t can be side-slipped well and the r a t e of height loss can be incr'eased marked1 y by t h i s method. The following figures give a guide.
ENGINE - Idle
INDICATED AIR SPEED - 65 Kts
No s ides l i p Full l e f t rudder Full r ight rudder
Reduced Vi s ib i l i t y Flyinq In poor v i s i b i l i t y i t may be f e l t prudent t o f l y a t reduced airspeed. The s a f e s t speed t o f l y i s 70 kts as t h i s represents a good speed fo r a i r c r a f t con t ro l lab i l i ty and i s a l so the best climbing angle speed, allowing best climb performance, should near obstacles be sighted. The best climb angle performance requires half f l a p a t 70 kts and t h i s should be p u t down whilst f ly ing a t reduced airspeed as i t a lso resu l t s in a lower nose position giving a be t te r f i e l d of view.

7.3 CIRCUIT AND LANDINGS
7.3.1 Approaching the Landing Pa t t e rn
Before joining t h e c i r c u i t or en te r ing any landing procedure or approach pa t te rn , the Rejoin Checks should be ca r r i ed o u t as l a i d out in the FRCs.
7.3.2 C i rcu i t Procedure
Jo in at 85 kts. Carry out the pre-landing checks i n the downwind position. To commence descent reduce the t h r o t t l e s e t t i n g t o achieve approximately 1500 RPM and lower takeoff f l ap . Allow t h e speed t o reduce and enter a descent a t 70 kts. (75 kts i f a f l a p l e s s c i r c u i t i s being carr ied out).. Maintain t h i s speed round t h e f i n a l turn un t i l t h e wings are level on f i n a l s . L.ower landing f l a p as required and complete t h e f i n a l checks. Allow the speed t o decrease t o 65 kts with landing f l a p . The threshold speed of 60 kts with landing f l a p or 65 kts f l a p l e s s i s achieved by t h r o t t l i n g back smoothly as the round-out i s commenced. The power se t t i ng required wi l l vary with the wind condi t ions .
7.3.3 Landinqs
Normal With the round-out complete and t h e t h r o t t l e closed, adjus\t the a t t i t u d e t o keep the a i r c r a f t off t h e ground, allowing the m3in wheels t o touch down at 45 .- 50 k t s dependent on the AUN. Keep t h e nosewheel off the ground un t i l the elevator becomes l e s s e f f ec t ive then lower the nose gently a t approx 35 kts. Commence braking as necessary. Do not push the control column forward or the propeller t i p s could touch t h e ground. Keep s t r a i g h t with nosewheel s teer ing and move t h e s t i ck progressively a f t as speed decreases.
Glide Aftsr the end of t h e downwind leg t h e speeds t o be flown a re 70 kts -- f l a p up, 70 k ts takeoff f l a p and 63 k ts landing f l a p f o r threshold speed 58 kts . The f i n a l turn can be commenced in about t h e same posi t ion as fo r a normal c i r c u i t and the t h r o t t l e closed. The two s t ages of f l a p a re used as required t o achieve t h e touchdown point.. The considerable drag of f u l l f l a p may be used t o dive off excess height up t o the l imi t ing speed of 88 kts.. As the g l ide approach angle i s steeper than fo r a normal c i r c u i t i t i s necessary t o ccinmence round-out s l i g h t l y higher but t h e landing i s the sane as f o r a normal approach. An actual forced landing would probably be made with the engine f a i l ed and windmilling which would r e s u l t i n a higher r a t e of descent than -with the engine i d l i n g ; thus a1 1 prac t i ses should be done with the aim of touching down 1 / 3 way down t h e landing s t r i p so tha t t h e r e i s a margin of safe ty t o allow for t h e increased r a t e of descent i n the real ca se . Also i t i s usually l e s s hazardous t o run off t h e end of a landing s t r i p a t 19 kts than t o f a l l shor t of t h e beginning a t 40 k t S ; t h u s i t i s erriilg cn the safe s ide t o be s l i g h t l y high.

Shor t Landinq F l y a normal approach u n t i l lower ing f u l l f l a p . . Reduce t h e power s l i g h t l y and a l l ow the speed t o f a l l t o 58 k t s when power w i l l need t o be increased t o stop the speed f a l l i n g f u r t h e r . The round-out and land ing are t h e same as f o r a normal land ing except t h a t power should n o t be reduced u n t i l a f t e r t h e round-out has been commenced. -Once the mai nwheels a r e on the ground the nosewheel should be lowered immediately but gen t l y . Brak ing may then commence w i t h t h e s t i c k being moved progressi ve ly a f t as speed decreases. As t h e approach speeds are s i g n i f i c a n t l y lower than f o r a normal c i r c u i t , t h e p i l o t must be ready t o counter any s i n k o r windshear e f f e c t w i t h immediate a p p l i c a t i o n of power.
F lap less Landinq The a i r c r a f t has a very robust manual1 y operated f l a p system and thus f l a p f a i l u r e p r a c t i c e has l i t t l e relevance. F lap less approach may be p rac t i sed but, due t o t h e a i r c r a f t ' s e x c e l l e n t g l i d i n g performance, the approaches w i l l be very f l a t ; care must be taken t o avo id an overshoot. With more than 15 k t s headwind a n e a r l y normal g l i d e path angle can be f lown a t about 1200 RPM but, w i t h l ess headwind, p rogress ive ly f l a t t e r approaches are requ i red . The speed should be held a t 75 k t s throughout t h e f i n a l t u r n and, once wings a r e l e v e l , i t should be al lowed t o reduce t o be 70 k t s f o r a th resho ld speed o f 65 k t s . The round-out should be smooth and the a i r c r a f t should be landed on the mainwheels a t 53 k t s t o reduce the chance o f touching t h e t a i l bumper
Crosswind Landinq Landings are permi t ted w i t h i n t h e crosswind 1 i m i t > o f 2 5 k t s . The a i r c r a f t should be f lown down the extended runway w i t h c
