GO-AROUND CLIMB.
In a balked landing (go-around) climb, the wing flap setting should
be reduced to 20° immediately after full power is applied. Upon reach-
ing a safe airspeed, the flaps should be slowly retracted to the full up
position.
CRUISE.
Normal cruising is done at 65% to 75% of METO power. The set-
tings required to obtain these powers at various altitudes and outside
air temperatures can be determined by using your Cessna Power Com-
puter or the OPERATIONAL DATA, Section V.
Cruising can be done most efficiently at high altitude because of the
higher true airspeeds obtainable at the same power. This is illustrated
in the following table for 70%power.

STALLS.
The stall characteristics are conventional for the flaps up and flaps
down condition. Slight elevator buffeting may occur just before the stall
with flaps down.
The stalling speeds are shown in Section V for aft e.g., full gross
weight conditions. They are presented as calibrated airspeeds because
indicated airspeeds are unreliable near the stall. Other loadings result
in slower stalling speeds. The stall warning horn produces a steady
signal 5 to 10 MPH before the actual stall is reached and remains on
until the airplane flight attitude is changed.
