5.9 Climb
1. Speed – SET: best angle of climb speed V
X
= 90 km/h (56 mph, 49 kts) or
best rate of climb speed V
Y
= 100 km/h (62 mph, 54 kts)
in strong turb10 km/h (6 mph, 5 kts).
2. Flaps – RETRACT SLOWLY at safe altitude.
3. EGT – max. 850°C (1562°F).
4. CHT – max. 135°C (275°F).
5. Oil pressure – max. 5.0 bar (73 psi).
6. Oil temperature – max. 130°C (266°F)
5.10 Cruise
1. Flight altitude – OCCUPY and monitor, in strong turbulence – at least 100 m (300 ft).
2. Cruise speed – SET, in strong turbulence – minimum 100 km/h (62 mph, 54 kts),
maximum 168 km/h (104 mph, 90 kts).
3. Elevator trim tab – ADJUST as required.
4. Fuel level – CHECK (see 5.3 ).
5. Fuel valves – CHECK (see 5.3 ).
6. Turns – perform with caution in strong turbulence and at low altitudes.
5.11 Approach
1. Speed – REDUCE below 148 km/h (92 mph, 80 kts), minimum 100 km/h (62 mph, 54 kts).
2. Flaps – EXTEND position 1. Wind stronger 8 m/s (16 kts) – FLAPS UP.
3. Elevator trim tab – ADJUST as required.
4. Approach speed on final – 100 km/h (62 mph, 54 kts), +10 km/h (6 mph, 5 kts) in rain or
strong turbulence.
5. Too high on final – REDUCE RPM to idle, SLIP if necessary.
6. Too low on final – INCREASE RPM. DO NOT RETRACT FLAPS when flying low over
high obstacles or close to the ground!
5.12 Normal landing
1. Direction – ALIGN the airplane WITH THE RUNWAY using rudder pedals.
2. Side drift – ELIMINATE by banking against the drift (crosswind, if any).
3. Flare – start at 5 m (15 ft), level off at approximately 0.3 m (1 ft).
Gradually reduce bank and side drift while flaring and leveling off.
4. Throttle – IDLE.
5. Touchdown – at minimum speed. In cross-wind conditions – maintain banking into wind till
touching the runway with one of the wheels. Avoid touching ground with the tail.
6. Yoke (Stick) – HOLD to reduce the speed and PUSH gently to lower the nose wheel
slowly.
