TAKE-OFF PROCEDURE
4.5.1
BEFORE TAKE-OFF
Before you line up at the runway for take-off:
- Check oil pressure and oil temperature.
N O T E
The RPM Gauge is electronically operated. To check the magnetos the RPM source
switch must be set to the same magento as the igintion switch. Otherwise the gauge
will show zero.
- Check the magnetos at 1800 RPM. Allowed drop is 175 RPM
(max. difference 50 RPM).
- Check Alternator Output.
- Move also the propeller control through its complete range to check operation and
return to full "HIGH RPM" position.
- Turn boost pump "ON" (check indicator movement on the fuel flow gauge).
- Check flight control free and correct
- Set trim to appropriate takeoff position (half way nose down)
4.5.2
TAKE-OFF
Set throttle smoothly to max and let the airspeed go up to 60-65 KIAS (111-120 km/h). A light
pressure on the stick lifts the tail to horizontal position. Rotate the aircraft at 65 KIAS
(120 km/h). On reaching climb speed of 100 KIAS (185 km/h) proceed with climb.
4.6
CLIMB
Climbs may be performed up to 2700 RPM. RPM above 2400 should, however, be used only
when necessary for maximum performance in order to avoid unnecessary noise.
Turn boost pump "OFF".
