Warm-UpandFunctional Check
Warm-up the engine withafastidleof 1500 -2500 RPMuntilthe oiltemperaturereaches50
degreesC.During thisphase, the cooling isinsufficient duetoreduced airflow. It istherefore
advisablenottoshorten the warm-up timebyrunning the engine athigherRPM. The aircraft
shouldbe pointed intowind toallowadditionalcoolingair. Assoon asthe oilreaches50°C,it
