TAKE-OFF (Normal)

Control Stick – half way between neutral and aft

Throttle – smoothly FULL OPEN

Stabilator Control –
RAISE NOSE just clear of ground, release
back pressure on stick as required

Rotate – LIFT OFF 50-55 kts CAS

Climb – 75 kts CAS

Flaps – UP

Trim – AS REQUIRED to hold desired airspeed
During crosswind conditions, place the control stick into the
wind (up wind aileron UP) and raise the nose just clear of
the ground as early in the take-off roll as possible to
improve rudder authority and prevent drifting or premature
lift-off. When taking off with a left crosswind and full power,
right rudder is a limiting factor.

During an obstacle take-off, use the normal take-off
procedures with the following exceptions:

Flaps – 1
st
DETENT

Hold Brakes – until application of full power

Lift –Off – 50 to 55 kts CAS

Climb – 60 kts (best angle of climb) until clear of
obstacle
