TM 55-1510-219-10 CAUTION Movement   of   power   levers   into reverse   range   while   engines   are shut  down  may  result  in  bending and damage to control linkages. a. Power levers-IDLE. b. Propeller levers-As required. c. Condition levers-FUEL CUTOFF. d. Flaps-UP. 4. Lower console switches-Set as follows. a. Flare/Chaff dispenser control-SAFE. b. Avionics-As required. c. Rudder boost switch-ON. 5. Gear alternate engage and ratchet handles-Stowed. 6. Free   air   temperature   gage-Check,   note current reading. 7. Instrument panel-Check and set as follows. a. Pilot's and copilot's course indicator switches -As required. b. Pilot's and copilot's RMI switches-As required. c. Pilot's  and  copilot's  MIC  switch-As required. d. Pilot's and copilot's compass switches-As required. e. Gyro switches-SLAVE. f    Flight instruments-Check instruments    for    protective    glass, warning  flags  (10)  pilot,  5  copilot), static readings, and heading correction card. g. Radar- OFF. h. APR-39 and APR-44-OFF. i. Engine instruments-Check for protective glass and static readings. 8. Prop sync switch-OFF. 9. Mission panel switches and circuit breakers-Set. 10. Subpanels-Check and set as follows. a. Fire protection test switch-OFF. b. Landing, taxi, and recognition lights- OFF. c. Gear-Recheck DN. d. Cabin lights-As Required. e. Pilot's static air source-NORMAL. f. Pilot's  and  copilot's  audio  control  panels- As required. NOTE Do not use alternate static source during takeoff and landing except in an emergency.

DC power-Check. *8-23.  FIRST ENGINE START (BATTERY START). CAUTION Mission  control  switch  should  be OFF prior to start. NOTE The  engines  must  not  be  started until  after  the  INS  is  placed  into the NAV mode or OFF as required. Starting procedures are identical for both engines. When making a battery start, the right engine should be started first.  When making a ground power unit (GPU) start,  the  left  engine  should  be  started  first  due  to  the GPU   receptacle   being   located   adjacent   to   the   right engine.    A  crew  member  should  monitor  the  outside observer throughout the engines start. 1. Avionics master switch-OFF. NOTE Use  the  beacons  NIGHT  position for all ground operations, changing to the DAY position only when taking the active runway for takeoff (when conditions permit). 2.
