Takeoff
• Note •
The engine is equipped with an altitude compensating fuel
pump that automatically provides the proper full rich mixture.
Because of this, the mixture should be left full rich for takeoff,
even at high altitude airfields.
Power Check:
Check full-throttle engine operation early in takeoff run.
The engine should run smoothly and turn approximately 2700 RPM.
All engine parameters should read in the green. Discontinue takeoff at
any sign of rough operation or sluggish acceleration. Make a thorough
full-throttle static runup before attempting another takeoff.
For takeoff over a gravel surface, advance Power Lever slowly. This
allows the airplane to start rolling before high RPM is developed, and
gravel will be blown behind the propeller rather than pulled into it.
Flap Settings:
Takeoffs are approved at flaps UP (0%) or flaps 50%.
Normal and short field takeoffs are accomplished with flaps set at
50%. Takeoffs using 50% flaps require less ground roll and distance
over an obstacle than do takeoffs with no flaps. Takeoff flap settings
greater than 50% are not approved.
Soft or rough field takeoffs are performed with 50% flaps by lifting the
airplane off the ground as soon as practical in a tail-low attitude. If no
obstacles are ahead, the airplane should be leveled off immediately to
accelerate to a higher climb speed.
Takeoffs into strong crosswinds normally are performed with the
minimum flap setting (0% or 50%) necessary for the field length, to
minimize the drift angle immediately after takeoff. With the ailerons
partially deflected into the wind, accelerate the airplane to a speed
slightly higher than normal, and then with authority, rotate to prevent
possibly settling back to the runway while drifting. When clear of the
ground, make a coordinated turn into the wind to correct for drift.
• Note •
Fuel BOOST should be left ON during takeoff and for climb as
required for vapor suppression with hot or warm fuel.
