Once reached the safe altitude, reduce the engine power to maintain the
flight level at the desired speed.
TAKE-OFF WITH CROSS WIND:
The maximum permitted cross wind for take-off and landing is 16 Kn.
The procedure to take-off with cross wind is the same than with no wind but
it´s necessary to use the controls properly.
In cross wind conditions the control stick should be moved into wind to keep
the aircraft´s direction whilst the pedals should be used to keep the
alignment with the runway.
ABORT TAKE-OFF
If the during the pre-rotation or the take-off there is any disadvantage such
not enough runway, the pilot should abort the take-off operation. The
procedure is to reduce the engine power, use the left pedal to keep the
alignment with the runway and flare to land. It is important to train this
manoeuvre to fly safely.
