@BetweenLayersAviation Thanks for including the hotstart procedure. I, too, have a 310 Colemill (mine was actually the one used for the STC for the turbocharged variants). I've tried every hot start in the book with varying success, so glad to see someone doing it with IO550s. I do it slightly different. I start full forward on everything, then prime until I have good fuel pressure, then pull mixture back to lean cut-off; then engage the starter with the throttle full and pull it back until it fires. As it fires I quickly advance the mixture. Its a bit of a dance. Your way is much more simple and it obviously works. I've also been told that it can help before doing anything to set mixture's at idle/cutoff with throttle full forward and run the primer 10-20 seconds per side (I think it get's the vapor out of the lines up to the engine). A friend does this with his Colemill P variant (mine is a Q) and then he does a normal start. I haven't had as much success with that method.
Just a wonderful, memory-inspiring video including the same four-legged co-pilot. I had a Q for five years and my wife and I and Angus, the "safety dog" flew it EVERYWHERE before I lost my medical. Many great family memories flying around North America. I hope you enjoy every precious minute of your aviation experiences. Flying. Nothing better. Thanks for the video.
Good video good aircraft
On my C77R with the tight cowling I had a hard time over and over to start after fueling. Then I read a guys post, before shutdown throttle to 1200 rpm them pull mixture. After fueling leave mixture out, master on, fuel pump on and crank. When the engine starts bring in the mixture and bingo engine start. Fuel pump off mixture as needed bring back throttle. To who ever poster that, I say thank you.
Nice preflight. Have you ever considered using a high-power flashlight for inspections. You’d be surprised how much more you can see with a good flashlight.
Beautiful aircraft
Great looking 310. Thank you sir!
Fantastic demo on the hot start and the 206 I was flying during the hot days the IO-540 was a trick to start after sitting 15-20 minutes and I had to do the mixture idle cutoff boost pump start and successfully it worked for me
Beautiful approach to landing your 310 and to holding that nose gear pressure off as long as you can and I would have done the same with the ride along with you and I’m looking forward to the hot start procedure as required on the check list
I'm starting to work on my license, would like to have a 340A and I hope I can take my Pom with me!!
great video/very professional
Thank you! Hope you enjoy some of our other videos on the channel.
Wow! Nice airplane. 550’s= fun👍
Thx! Hope you enjoyed the video.
Great work!
Thx Sushee! More content coming. Keep watching and liking these videos!
Mixture not rich before landing
that model of 310 is very desirable
Love this model. With the engine STC conversion it is a fast machine!
Hi; thanks for the video.
Quick question, Why are you cycling 3 times the prop? What indications should I have been observing ?
Thanks
Great question. I always cycle the prop three times before the first flight of the day. It allows for warmer oil to flow into the propeller governor. Here is a bit more detailed explanation. pilotworkshop.com/tips/constant-speed-prop/#:~:text=But%20since%20during%20taxi%2C%20the,that's%20not%20a%20big%20deal.&text=The%20engine%20oil%20usually%20stays,required%20in%20very%20cold%20climates.
Who teaches these young guys to pull prop levers like they’re a slot machine??? Unreal...
When you're smoking through that much fuel, you've gotta do something to make it feel good!!
I’m looking for three 7s!!!!! Come on money!
