Short Field Takeoff and Climb
Short field takeoffs are often required when there is minimal runway distance or when obstacles on the
departure end of the runway require minimizing takeoff roll and maximizing obstacle clearance.
Procedures:
1. Complete
Before Takeoff
and
Line Up Checklist
.
2. Verify Flaps set at T/O (takeoff), taxi on to the runway, hold brakes.
3
. Increase throttles to 20” MP, check “
Engine in Parameters
”.
4. Increase throttles to Full power.
5
. Release brakes, “
Airspeed Alive
”.
6. Rotate as per POH, approximately 65 KIAS.
7. Establish
Positive Rate of Climb
and retract the gear.
8. Maintain Vx, 72 KIAS until clear of obstacles.
9. Once clear of obstacles retract flaps and accelerate to Vyse, 84 KIAS/Blueline until 1000 ft AGL.
10. At 1000 ft AGL,
After Takeoff Checklist
.
Short Field Visual Approach and Landing
A short field landing is required when the landing area is relatively short or when obstacles on the
approach end of the runway limit available landing area. The landing is complete when the aircraft is
slowed to a safe speed and exits the runway.
Procedures:
1. Complete
In Range/Descent Checklist
.
2. Slow to 100 KIAS before entering the traffic pattern.
3. When ready to descend out of TPA,
Gear Down Before Landing Flow Checklist
.
4. Descend out of TPA at Blueline
(84 KIAS).
5. On Base,
Approach Flow Check
6. On Final:
a) Full flaps 40° landing assured
b) Slow aircraft to 71 KIAS and
Final Check
7. Retract flaps after touchdown.
(Caution- Do not retract landing gear)
9. Max breaking (Simulate for training purposes).
10. Taxi Clear of the runway and perform,
After Landing Checklist
.
