NOTE
The aircraft will take-off at a 30-35 mph and will
keep climbing at a 40-45 mph
NOTE
During take-off ground roll, be sure to put the
heels on the cabin floor to avoid to inadvertently
operate the brakes

NOTE *: The Short take off procedure is a very delicate manuver. It is suggested to practice it with
an instructor before attempting to perform it.
- the best rate of climb speed (Vy) will allow the aircaft to climb to the required altitude in the
shortest flight time;
- the best angle of climb speed (Vx) will allow the aircraft to climb to the required altitude in the
shortest distance;
- Using 20 flaps will increase the ground-roll distance (compared to 40 flaps) but will decrease the
total take-off distance over 50ft obstacle. Using 40 flaps on take off will decrease the ground roll
(compared to 20 flaps) but will increase the total take-off distance over 50ft obstacle.
In case of operation in Hi Density Altitude environment extending the flaps may not be beneficial.
The increased induced drag generated in this condition, decreases the aircraft’s performance.
