|
|
I have read David Strout's thread
and I was taught the following
procedure by a chinese aviation
professor:
If the engine is cold, after priming
switch both magnetos on and push
the starter button.
If the engine is hot, do not test for
hydraulic lock by turning the prop
(it could fire) but push the starter
button and after 4 blades flick the
magneto switch on both.
To shut down the engine (wait until
Cyl.-Head-temp is below 150 C), do
your scavenge run at 2000 rpm for
30 seconds, retard the throttle to
1000 rpm, switch off the magnetos
and while the prop is still turning,
advance throttle to the fully open
position.
Now some experienced Pratt
& Whitney pilots say, to do it
that way could damage the valves
and the valve-seats could come
loose.
So Gentlemen, what is your opinion
about that matter?
