Supplement Flight Training 9 - 4
Climb with Best Angle of Climb
With engine set to full power, establish V
X
, which is V
X Flaps 15
= 39 kIAS
(45 mph IAS) for flaps 15 deg and V
X clean
= 51 kIAS (59 mph IAS) with
flaps up. At this airspeed the aircraft will achieve the steepest angle
of climb. During climb it is essential to monitor oil and water (CHT)
temperatures. Adjust the oil temperature regulation flap as required.
Climb with Best Rate of Climb
With engine set to full power, establish V
Y
, which is V
Y Flaps 15
= 58 kIAS
(67 mph IAS) for flaps 15 deg and V
Y clean
= 60 kIAS (69 mph IAS) with
flaps up. At this airspeed the aircraft will achieve the best rate of
climb. During climb it is essential to monitor oil and water (CHT)
temperatures. Adjust the oil temperature regulation flap as required.
Climb while in cruise
If you wish to climb in cruise, select an airspeed between 70 to
80 kIAS (80 to 90 mph IAS). At these speeds, the aircraft will climb
between slower than best rate of climb due to the higher airspeed.
NOTE
It is strongly recommended that you monitor oil and
water (CHT) temperatures. Under no circumstances
should any of the engine temperature limits be
exceeded, otherwise, an engine failure may result.
Climb in rain or with a dirty aircraft
Raindrops and bugs affect the performance of the aircraft. Be aware
that in these conditions the performance figures will not meet the
published figures, as they apply for a clean aircraft under standard
atmospheric conditions. Expect a performance loss of 10% to15%.
