Please : Fuel to the tabs, 32 Gallons useable. If it’s a long trip, fuel up as needed before leaving and then to the tabs when you put it back in the hangar.
Aircraft is now in KSUS Million Air B-9. The key is newer, and can be a little difficult to insert, but it does work fine.
Oil and cleaning supplies are located on the left side of the hangar (on the left wall if you are facing from the hangar door). Please use spray bottle marked airframe and terry towels from the airframe container to clean bugs off the leading edges after each flight. Microfiber is provided for windscreen only and will be used with spray bottle marked for windows after each flight as well.
When leaving the aircraft for the next pilot, please fasten the seatbelts across the seat (don’t leave them dangling), stow the shoulder harness and leave it neat and clean.
Do not leave the tow bar connected to the nose wheel unless you have a hand connected to it also. If you are walking away, remove the tow bar. We do not want prop damage or worse due to the risk of leaving it connected with engine start or flight.
*Important Starting Information*
The Archer is a little difficult to start (every plane has its own personality). Starter time limits are now set at 10 seconds on 30 seconds off, up to 3 tries and then a 2 minute cool down. If the engine does not start after 5 blade rotations, something is wrong, either not enough fuel or possibly too much (flooded). Maintenance has advised for this Archer to use 3 to 4 good primes and fuel pump on for start when OAT is greater than 10 C and 5 to 10 times when less than 10 C. To prime, unlock primer, pull full aft and count to 4 or 5. It sucks fuel very slowly so be patient. Lock the primer in (push full in and rotate 180 degrees and pull to be sure it is locked). Turn fuel pump off after engine start, and back on before takeoff per standard procedure and checklist. If flooded, follow manufacturers procedures in the POH guidance to start in a flooded condition.
