You can of course reduce engine power by the throttle lever as
needed to decrease the engine speed.
During the climb , switch off the auxiliary fuel pump (if installed) and
landing lights as well (landing lights are used to increase the
airplane’s visibility during the takeoff ).
4.9.1.1
Short Field Takeoff
If you need to execute the shortest possible takeoff then set the wing flaps
to the Landing 1 position (30 degrees) or Landing 2 (50 degrees fully
extended ). The elevator trim lever should be set to a position to be parallel
with the flap control when set for takeoff (15 degrees ).
The airplane will liftoff at a lower speed and take less distance to liftoff.
After liftoff it is necessary to push the control stick slightly forward and allow
the airplane to accelerate and reach a higher speed and during this
acceleration phase the flaps should be slowly set to the “normal” Takeoff
position (15 degrees) and a transition to a climb may begin when the
airplane reaches a speed between 59-65 KIAS, 110-120 km/h, 68-75 mph.
