10.1
GENERAL
This
section
provides
operating
tips
of
particular value
in
the
operation
of Archer
III.
10.3
OPERATING
TIPS
(a)
Learn
to
trim
for takeoff
so
that
only
a
very
light
back
pressure on
the
control wheel
is required to
lift
the airplane
off
the ground.
(b)
The
best speed
for takeoff is
about 57
KIAS
under normal conditions.
Trying to pull the
airplane
off
the
ground
at too low an
airspeed
decreases
the controllability
of
the
airplane
in
the
event
of
engine
failure.
(c)
Flaps
may be lowered at
airspeeds
up
to
102
KIAS, To
reduce flap
operating loads,
it
is
desirable
to
have the airplane at a slower
speed
before extending the flaps. The
flap
step
will
not
support
weight
if
the
flaps
are
in
any
extended
position. The flaps must
be
placed
in
the
"UP"
position
before they
will
lock
and
support weight
on
the
step.
(d)
The pilot
should only
reset
a
tripped circuit
breaker
if
the
system/
component is
considered essential
for
safety
of flight.
Prior to resetting
the
circuit
breaker,
wait
at
least one
minute
and
verify
there
is
no smoke
or
burning smell.
If
the
circuit
breaker
opens a second
time,
leave
the
circuit
breaker
out.
Have
a
maintenance inspection
performed prior
to
resetting the
circuit
breaker.
Do
not reset any nonessential circuit
breakers
in flight.
(e)
Before starting
the engine,
check that all radio
switches,
light
switches
and the
pitot
heat
switch
are
in
the
off
position
so
as
not
to
create
an
overloaded
condition when
the starter is
engaged.
