SkillConfigure the airplane in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations, in the absence of the manufacturer’s recommendations, then at safe single-engine speed (VSSE/VYSE), as appropriate, and:
Cowl flaps set for takeoff

generally are tightly cowled and equipped with baffles that direct the flow of air to the engine in sufficient volumes for cooling while in flight; however, on the ground, much less air is forced through the cowling and around ... instruments that indicate cylinder head temperatures should be monitored. Cowl flaps, if available, should be set according to the AFM/POH. Each airplane has different features and equipment and the before-takeoff checklist provided in airplane’s AFM/POH should be used…

cruise performance from any airplane, the power setting tables provided by the manufacturer should be closely followed. If the cylinder head and oil temperatures are within their normal ranges, the cowl flaps may be closed. When the engine temperatures have ... widely among different models, particularly during tank switching or fuel transfer. Some fuel pumps are to be on for takeoff and landing; others are to be off. There is simply no substitute for thorough systems and AFM/POH knowledge when operating…

tanks and fuel pumps switched off. 3. Flaps—set to the retracted position. 4. Cowl flaps—may be opened or closed depending on temperature conditions. 5. Trim—reset to neutral or takeoff position. 6. Lights—may be switched…
- Chapter 12: Transition to Complex Airplanes › Turbocharging › Heat Management
mixture governs the fuel-to-air ratio. The mixture, therefore, controls temperature. Exceeding temperature limits in an after-takeoff climb is usually not a problem since a full rich mixture cools with excess fuel. At cruise, power is normally reduced ... even though the engine is producing less power. Overheating in an en route climb, however, may require fully open cowl flaps and a higher airspeed. Since turbocharged engines operate hotter at altitude than normally aspirated engines, they are more prone…
