Normal Procedures

Short Field Takeoff

1. Flaps ........................................................................................50%
2. Brakes .................................................................................. HOLD
3. Power Lever ........................................................FULL FORWARD
4. Mixture ..................................................................................... SET
5. Engine Parameters ............................................................ CHECK
6. Brakes ....................................RELEASE (Steer with Rudder Only)
7. Elevator Control ............................. ROTATE Smoothly at 70 KIAS
8. Airspeed at Obstacle..........................................................78 KIAS

Climb

Normal climbs are performed flaps UP (0%) and full power at speeds 5
to 10 knots higher than best rate-of-climb speeds. These higher
speeds give the best combination of performance, visibility and engine
cooling.
For maximum rate of climb, use the best rate-of-climb speeds shown
in the rate-of-climb chart in Section 5. If an obstruction dictates the use
of a steep climb angle, the best angle-of-climb speed should be used.
Climbs at speeds lower than the best rate-of-climb speed should be of
short duration to avoid engine-cooling problems.
1. Climb Power ............................................................................. SET
2. Flaps ................................................................................ Verify UP
3. Mixture ..............................................LEAN as required for altitude
4. Engine Parameters ............................................................ CHECK
5. Fuel Pump.......................................................................... BOOST
The fuel pump is used for vapor suppression during climb. It
is also recommended that the fuel pump be left on after
leveling off for 30 minutes following a climb and anytime fuel
flow or EGT anomalies occur.
