TAKEOFF
(Continued)

SHORT FIELD TAKEOFF

If an obstruction dictates the use of a steep climb angle after liftoff,
accelerate to and climb at an obstacle clearance speed of 86 KIAS with
WING FLAPS set at TO/APR. Takeoff performance data is shown in
Section 5 based on this speed and configuration.
The 86 KIAS obstacle clearance speed is a recommended
safe speed under all conditions, including turbulence and
complete engine failure. The actual V
TO/APR is 76 KIAS at maximum takeoff weight as noted in
Section 5, Performance, Figure 5-13 or Figure 5-30, Climb
Gradient - Takeoff Flap Setting - Flaps TO/APR chart.
After clearing the obstacle, and reaching a safe altitude, the flaps can
be retracted slowly as the airplane accelerates to the normal climb
airspeed.
Minimum ground roll takeoffs are accomplished by using TO/APR
Flaps, lifting the nosewheel off the ground as soon as practical and
leaving the ground in a slightly tail-low attitude. However, after liftoff the
airplane should be leveled immediately to accelerate to a safe climb
airspeed.
TYPE II, TYPE III OR TYPE IV ANTI-ICE FLUID TAKEOFF
When Type II, Type III or Type IV anti-ice fluid is applied to the airplane,
a rotation speed of 83 KIAS with WING FLAPS UP is required. Use of
WING FLAPS UP allows the airplane to accelerate to a higher rotation
speed without any liftoff tendencies, which is required for the Type II,
Type III or Type IV anti-ice fluid to be effective. Takeoff performance
data shown in Section 5 of the POH is based on this speed and
configuration.
