Aircraft Leaseback | KBFI – Seattle, WA
All engine instruments need to be in the green prior to departure. It’s still quite fresh out there, and on the first flight of the day in particular in can take several minutes into the runup before the oil temperature is in the green.
Please be patient, and wait that extra minute or so before taking off so you have a safe flight – treat any aircraft engine life your life depends on it.
3WF is equipped with Garmin’s Electronic Stability and Protection safety system which is activated by default every time you turn on the avionics.
For any and all training flights with the intention to practice flight maneuvers please make sure to deactivate ESP (see the Pre-/Postflight section at the top of the Before You Fly 3WF… page) so as to avoid ending up in a fight with the Autopilot.
The feature will turn itself back on for the next flight, so don’t worry if you forget to re-activate it.
If you intend to fly X/C without maneuver practice there is no action item; ESP will simply be automatically ready to assist should the need arise.
For more information about ESP see chapter 8.10 in the G3X Touch Pilot’s Guide.
