I flew a rental Archer (Lycoming IO-360) with a buddy of mine a few weeks ago and now planning on going up with him again in the next few days. Today I found out that most people (including owners) who fly that plane never pre-heat it, regardless of the temperature, the airplane is not hangered. So I am trying to decide if the airplane is safe to fly, what do you guys think?
If I pre-heat it on my flight will it make the flight any safer considering that no one else ever pre-heats it?
Thanks
P.S. The local temperatures have been around -5C the past few days (and will be for the next week or so).
