Diesel engined Cessna 172
Hello all!
Does anybody know where I can get hold of a checklist for a diesel engined Cessna 172 please? Cheers:ok: |
Nearest I can get is a PA28 fitted with the same engine.

Does the 172 have a Thielert (ex-Mercedes A-Class) engine with dual FADEC? Here's what's in the DA-40 TDI checklist, with regards to the engine:
Preflight: - Engine master off - Electric master (key) off - ECU swap automatic ... - Electric master (key) on - Waterlevel light out - Fuel quantity check - Electric master (key) off Front fuselage: - Check gearbox oil level - Check engine oil level - Exhaust pipe - Venting pipe Starting engine: - Power lever friction adjusted - Power lever idle - Electric master (key) on - Annunciator panel check & press ack - Engine instruments check ... - Engine master on & wait till "glow" is out - Electric master (key) start - Check oil pressure - Warm up idle or < 1400 rpm, at least two minutes (you can taxi with this rpm) Before take-off: - Engine instruments all green - Alternate intake air check & off - ECU test button hold ---> this checks FADEC B, then FADEC A, then A+B, cycles the prop, you name it. Takes about a minute - ECU B; check smooth running - ECU automatic Shutdown: - Power idle at least two minutes (turbo needs to cool down) - Avionics off - Electrics off - Engine master off - Electric master (key) off In addition to this, you've got to set power in %, not with RPM as this is automatic constant speed. Need at least 30% power above 5000', cannot restart the engine if above 6500 feet (no turbo pressure). |
