Pilot Operating Handbook for the C42 Series
Aircraft with the Rotax 912 ULS (100 hp) have a greater engine torque
which must be countered by a slight right rudder input.
The aircraft will take-off at 70 km/h (38 kts). Push the stick slightly forward
and increase airspeed to 110 km/h (59 kts) in shallow climb.
Continue to climb at 110 km/h (59 kts).
Retract flaps at a height of approx. 150 ft (50m). This will cause a slight
nose-heavy moment. After reaching a safe altitude the electrical fuel
pump can be switched off.
Trim the aircraft to 110 km/h (59 kts) and continue climbing. Slight right
rudder is necessary to compensate both engine and propeller torque
during climbing.
Whenever possible, take-off into the wind.
The maximum demonstrated crosswind component for take-off and
landing is 30 km/h (16 kts). No special procedures are required. The
starting direction must be ensured by " Provision upwind.
During the initial take-off phase, it is essential that the aircraft accelerate
sufficiently to prevent stalling, should a sudden loss of power be
experienced.
By a loss of engine power at altitudes below 260 ft (80 m) do not attempt
course corrections of more than 90°. Quickly trim the aircraft to a gliding
speed of 100 km/h (54 kts) (push stick forward). Avoid obstructions. Using
the flaps touch down at a low speed. The approach phase can be
shortened by slipping. Before undertaking an emergency landing in rough
terrain, turn off the fuel valve and the ignition.
