    Uploaded by

    Djean Coelho
    The document provides start up and shut down procedures for an R-22 engine. It details the steps to follow which include checking that safety equipment is in place, setting switches and controls to specific positions, monitoring engine functions like oil pressure and temperatures, and gradually increasing and decreasing rotor and engine speeds. Shutdown involves reducing throttle, disengaging equipment, and waiting for components to cool before powering down and securing the aircraft.
