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
Power settings for climb must be limited to 35 inches of manifold
pressure and 2600 RPM up to 17,000 feet with decreasing manifold pressure
above 17,000 feet as noted on the maximum power placard.
A cruising climb at 30 inches of manifold pressure, 2500 RPM, 120
lbs/hr fuel flow, and 100 to 120 KIAS is normally recommended to provide
an optimum combination of performance, visibility ahead, engine cooling,
economy and passenger comfort (due to lower noise level).
NOTE
During warm weather, if there is an indication of vapor in
the fuel system (fluctuating fuel flow) or if the desired fuel
flow cannot be maintained with the mixture control in the
full rich position, turn on the auxiliary fuel pump and reset
the mixture as required until cruising altitude has been
obtained and the system is purged (usually 5 to 15 minutes
after establishing cruising flight). The auxiliary fuel
pump should be turned off when fuel flow will remain
steady.
If
it is necessary to climb rapidly to clear mountains or reach favorable
winds
'or
better weather at high altitudes, the best rate-of-climb speed
should be used with maximum continuous power. This speed is 97 KIAS
from sea level to 17,000 feet, decreasing to 93 KIAS at 24,000 feet.
If
an obstruction dictates the use of a steep climb angle, climb with
flaps retracted and maximum continuous power at 80 KIAS.
