13. Throttle idle
14. Fuel indicator fuel amount check
15. Instruments switched on, values within operating limits
16. Safety belts adjusted, fastened, secured

4.6. Take-off and Climbing
Release the brakes. Make the aircraft move by accelerating until the maximum throttle position is
reached. Control stick is in neutral position. Control the nose wheel and the rudder to keep the aircraft
within the runway axis.
When reaching the speed of 75km/h (45kt), gently pull the control stick to lift up the aircraft and
continue take-off up to the speed of 110km/h (59kt). Then, gently pull the control stick to start climbing
by optimal speed of 110km/h (59kt). After reaching the stable climbing speed of 110-120km/h (59-65kt)
and altitude over 50m (160ft), fluently retract the flaps.
Limit values of the engine must not be exceeded during the take-off. Climbing at full take-off power is
only allowed for a period of max. 5 minutes. When approx. 1000 ft GND is reached, the auxiliary fuel
pump can be switched off. When requested flight level is reached, adjust the propeller to “cruise”
position (if equipped with in-flight adjustable propeller).
4.7. Cruising Flight
ATEC 321 FAETA has good flight characteristics within the whole range of permitted speeds and position
of the centre of gravity. The cruising speed range is 120 – 248km/h (65 – 134kt).
Pay attention to values displayed on flight and engine instruments. The values must not be exceeded
throughout the flight. Optimal operating oil temperature shall be within a range of 90-110°C.
