Operations to be made on the runway threshold
1. Position the plane into the centreline of runway
3. Maximum engine power
4. Check engine revolutions, oil and fuel pressure
Take-off:
-
by opening the throttle make the aircraft move; when you reach the take-off speed, pull the control stick
slightly backwards to get the aircraft off the ground;
-
after you take off, keep on flying level close above the earth for a while until you reach the climbing
speed and then maintain that speed until you get into safe altitude in case the engine failed;
-
set the flap
s
to the cruise position (0) after reaching the altitude 150
-250
feet.
Do not take off:
-
if the engine does not run smoothly (when you turn off any one of the
magneto
ignition circuits, the engine speed
must not drop by more than 200 RPM)
and/or minimum recommended RPM at full throttle not acheived
;
-
if the instrument readouts fall outside the prescribed operation tolerances;
-
if the take-off runway is not free;
-
if the circumstances do not comply with the requirements of the microlight flight regulations.
Flight:
-
observe the recommended speeds.
Flying in turbulence:
-
in a strong turbulence preferably maintain the speed of about 55 to 65 knots
-
when making a turn do not bank more than 20°.
