Align the aircraft with the runway centerline and properly straighten the nose
wheel
•
Turn the control stick fully into the wind
PERFORMANCE
1.
Gradually apply full power
•
Check Load at 100%
•
Check engine gauges on MFD
•
Cross-‐control with aileron
2.
Verify “airspeed alive”
3.
As aircraft accelerates, gradually reduce aileron deflection
•
Light braking may be used for directional control
ONLY
if necessary
4.
Rotate at a slightly higher than normal speed (61 KIAS)
5.
Trim for V
Y
after liftoff (66 KIAS, flaps T/O)
6.
At a safe altitude above the runway:
•
Establish a crab into the wind to correct for drift
•
Maintain crab angle by heading control, coordinate with rudder
7.
Clear of obstacles:
•
Retract flaps
•
Trim for 73 KIAS
8.
At 500’ AGL:
•
If staying in traffic pattern, trim for ~100 KIAS
•
If departing traffic pattern, continue climb at 73 KIAS to cruise
9.
Verify checklist departure and climb items
•
NOTE: taxiing in crosswind conditions is easy because of low-‐wing profile.
Keep wind-‐side wing low after lift-‐off.
