Attention: If the cowl flap is closed the cooling air supply to the radiator will
not be sufficient over a longer period, i.e. the oil and cylinder head
temperature and coolant temperature will rise to an inadmissible range (the
red warning light range). In order not to forget to close the cowl flap, there
will be installed an additional factory-provided warning light (orange) which
flashes up and buzz when reaching the cylinder head temperature and
coolant temperature of 243°F (117°C). In this case, the cowl flap should be
immediately fully opened.
The cooling down of the cylinder head temperature to admissible and
optimal temperatures can be supported by reducing the engine power and
increasing the airspeed in descending.
The functionality test of the cowl flap is made during pre-flight inspection.
Principally, you should not wait for flashing of the caution lamp, but you have
to observe the temperature and to open the cowl flap manually at the
temperature of 194° - 230°F (90° - 110°C).
