NORMAL PROCEDURES
On a
short
field,
20'
wing flaps and an obstacle
clearance speed
of 58 KIAS should be
used. lf 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.
lf
no obstacles are ahead, the airplane should be
leveled
off immediately to accelerate to a higher climb speed.
CROSSWIND TAKEOFF
Takeoffs
into
strong
crosswind
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 inlo the wind, the
airplane
is
accelerated
to
a
speed slightly higher than normal, then pulled 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
ln.
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 mixture control is needed.
lf 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.
