4.4.3.2 Takeoff

4.4.3.2.1 Normal Takeoff
The normal takeoff technique uses the first notch (15°) of
flaps. Align on the runway and open the throttle. Maintain
directional control at all times using appropriate rudder
inputs. With the elevator in neutral, allow the tail to come
up. At about 52 mph or 45 knots IAS, apply back
pressure on the stick until the aircraft leaves the runway.

4.4.3.3 Climb

The best rate of climb speed (V
mph or 62 knots IAS and best angle (V
43 knots IAS, with flaps up.
Normal en-route climbs should be carried out at 80 to 90
mph or 70 to 78 knots. While climbing, lean the mixture
to achieve maximum engine speed. Consider the use of
carburetor heat if weather conditions that may produce
carburetor icing prevail.

4.4.3.4 Cruise

Once cruising altitude is reached, set the power. Normal
cruising is performed between 55% and 80% power. As
the aircraft accelerates, rpm will increase. Do not exceed
2750 rpm. Reduce the power to the selected setting and
adjust the mixture. The engine may be leaned by slowly
pulling the mixture back until there is a drop in rpm or the
engine runs roughly. At this point, advance the mixture
slightly (about 1/8 of an inch) or until the engine runs
