4.5 Normal takeoff
4.5.1 For a non performance takeoff, into wind, flaps can either be left in
the fully up –CR (cruise) position, or with the first stage – TO (takeoff)
position.
4.5.2 When lined up and rolling straight smoothly apply full power. Keep
straight with rudder, ailerons neutral and with the elevator slightly up
to reduce the weight on the nosewheel.
4.5.3 When the airspeed rises to 45 knots CAS [ IAS] rotate and lift off
and adopt a shallow climb attitude. Allow the airspeed to rise to 60
knots CAS [ IAS] and adopt a climbing attitude to hold this
airspeed.
4.5.4 When above 200 feet AGL the airspeed can be reduced to 57 knots
CAS [ IAS] if a greater climb rate is required, and the flaps
selected to CR. The power can also be reduced a little for noise
abatement if required. When the flaps are retracted there will be a
slight tendency for the aircraft to pitch up, which will require a gentle
push on the stick to maintain a constant airspeed. Therefore after the
flap change re trimming may be required.
4.5.5 When in the climb, due to the excellent climb rate, the nose is high
and may obscure forwards view. Therefore it is recommended to
periodically weave or lower the nose to clear the blind spot. For
prolonged ascents a cruise climb at reduced power setting and
slightly higher airspeed is recommended and will increase forwards
field of view.
4.6 Short takeoff
4.6.1 For a short takeoff select first stage, (TO), flap. Start from as close to
the beginning of the field as possible. Hold on the brakes as power is
increased to full. When power is full or if the aircraft starts to ‘creep’
forwards, release the brakes. Elevator position should be neutral
(smooth surfaces only) or slightly up.
4.6.2 When the airspeed rises to 40 – 45 knots CAS [ IAS] rotate and lift
off. When airborne allow the aircraft to accelerate to 48 knots CAS [
IAS] for best obstacle clearance. Be aware that at this speed prompt
action will be needed to lower the nose and obtain glide speed in the
event of power loss.
