Crosswind Takeoff 4·25; Enroute Climb 4·25 - Cessna 182S Pilot Operating Handbook

CESSNA
MODEL 182S
SECTION 4
NORMAL PROCEDURES
On a short field , 20 ° wing flaps and an obstacle clearance speed
of 58 KIAS should be used. If 20 ° wing flaps are used for takeoff,
they should be left down until all obstacles are cleared and a safe
flap retraction speed of 70 KIAS is reached.
Soft or rough field takeoffs are performed with 20 ° flaps by lifting
the airplane off the ground as soon as practical in a slightly tail low
attitude. If no obstacles are ahead , the airplane shou ld be leveled
off immediately to accelerate to a higher climb speed.
CROSSWIND TAKEOFF
Takeoffs into strong crosswi nd conditions normally are performed
with the minimum flap setting necessary for the field length , to
minimize the drift angle immediately after takeoff. With the ailerons
partially deflected into the wind, the airplane is accelerated to a
speed sl ightly higher than normal, then pu lled off briskly to prevent
possible settling back to the runway while drifting. When clear of the
ground, make a coordinated turn into the wind to correct for drift.
ENROUTE CLIMB
Normal climbs are performed at 85-95 KIAS with flaps up, 23 In.
Hg. or full throttle (whichever is less) and 2400 RPM for the best
combination of performance, visibility and engine cooling . The
mixture should be set to 15 GPH or full rich (whichever is less) until
reaching the altitude at which full throttle is reached, after which no
further adjustment of the mix1ure control is needed.
If it is necessary to climb rapidly to clear mountains or reach
favorable winds at higher altitudes, the best rate of climb speed
should be used with maximum power. This speed (shown in
Section 5) is 80 KIAS at sea level, decreasing to 72 KIAS at 10,000
feet.
