NORMAL PROCEDURES
over the runway where a wheels-down, forced landing on that runway
would become impractical. Since the landing gear swings downward
approximately two feet as it starts the retraction cycle, damage can result
by retracting it before obtaining at least that much ground clearance.
Before retracting the landing gear, the brakes should be applied
momentarily to stop wheel rotation. Centrifugal force caused by the
rapidly-spinning wheel expands the diameter of the tire. If there is an
accumulation of mud or ice in the wheel wells, the rotating wheel may rub
as it is retracted into the wheel well.
ENROUTE CLIMB
Normal climbs are performed at 90-100KIAS with flaps up,
25
inches of
manifold pressure, 2400RPM, and full rich mixture for the best combina-
tion of engine cooling, rate of climb and forward visibility.
If
it is
necessary to climb rapidly to clear mountains or reach favorable winds at
high altitudes, the best rate-of-climb speed should be used with maximum
power of
31
inches Hg, 2400RPM and full rich mixture. This speed is
88
KIAS at sea level, decreasing to
85
KIAS at 20,000feet.
If
an obstruction ahead requires a steep climb angle, a best angle-of-
climb speed should be used with landing gear and flaps up and maximum
power. This speed is
72
KIAS at sea level, increasing to
74
KIAS at 10,000
feet.
CRUISE
Normal
cr-uram
g is performed between
55%
and
75%
power. The
corresponding power settings and fuel consumption for various altitudes
can be determined by using your Cessna Power Computer or the data in
Section
5.
NOTE
Cruising should be done at 25 inches Hg and 2400RPM as
much as practical until a total of
50
hours has accumulated
or oil consumption has stabilized. This is to ensure proper
seating of the rings and is applicable to new engines, and
engines in service following cylinder replacement or top
overhaul of one or more cylinders.
