8. Rudder pedals
– maintain takeoff direction.
9. Liftoff
– at 65 km/h (35 kts).
10. Accelerate to at least 90 km/h (49 kts) at 1-2 m (3-7 ft.) and start to climb.
11. Speed
– SET best angle of climb speed V
X
= 100 km/h (54 kts).
4.8 Climb
1. Speed
– SET: best angle of climb speed V
X
= 100 km/h (54 kts) or
best rate of climb speed V
Y
= 120 km/h (65 kts)
in strong turb10 km/h (5 kts).
2. Flaps
– RETRACT SLOWLY at safe altitude.
3. Engine parameters - OK.
4.9 Cruise
1. Flight altitude
– OCCUPY and monitor. Keep safe altitude over obstacles.
2. Cruise speed
– SET, in strong turbulence – min. 100 km/h (54 kts), max.151 km/h
(81 kts).
3. Elevator trim tab
– ADJUST as required.
4. Fuel level
– MONITOR.
5. Fuel valves
– check OPEN for fuel tank with fuel, CLOSE empty fuel tank.
6. Turns
– perform with caution in strong turbulence and at low altitudes.
4.10 Approach
1. Speed
– REDUCE below 147 km/h (79 kts), minimum 100 km/h (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 (54 kts), +10 km/h (5 kts) in rain or strong
turbulence.
5. Too high on final
– REDUCE RPM, at idle – SLIP.
6. Too low on final
– INCREASE RPM.
DO NOT RETRACT FLAPS when flying low over
high obstacles or close to the ground!
4.11 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 3 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.
Avoid touching ground with the tail.
6. Yoke/Stick
– HOLD to reduce the speed and PUSH gently to lower the nose wheel
slowly.
Pedals
– set NEUTRAL before touching ground with the nose wheel (in cross-wind
conditions).
