C185/206/210's are well recognised as capable work horses.
These A/C are particulary popular in ISA+20 conditions due to the shade from the wing,strong field performance & good ground ventilation from the large windows.However the Continental IO-520 is hard to start when it is hot due to vaporisation in the injector lines.

If an attempt to start a hot IO-520 was made with any extra load on the battery than is necessary and this noted by your boss, you would most likely be rostered for remedial training.
