Cessna 182 - Crosswind Takeoff; Post Takeoff

2-20
WARNING
Do not allow the aircraft to climb out of ground effect until
safe flying speed of 60 MPH or higher is achieved. Premature
climb out of ground effect could result in a stall.
g. once safe flying speed has been achieved (60 MPH), smoothly adjust the yoke
position to achieve the desired climb attitude;
h. complete the post-takeoff check.
Crosswind Takeoff
23. Takeoffs in moderate to strong crosswinds will require appropriate modifications to the
selected takeoff technique:
a. crosswind takeoffs are performed with minimum flaps necessary, with due
consideration for field type, field length, and departure end obstacles;
b. maintain into-wind aileron during the takeoff roll, progressively reducing aileron
deflection as the aircraft accelerates;
c. allow the aircraft to accelerate to a slightly higher speed before rotating to ensure
a positive lift-off. With proper aileron position for the crosswind, the downwind
wheel should lift off slightly before the upwind wheel; and
d. once airborne, make a coordinated turn into wind to correct for drift.
Post-Takeoff
24. The Post-Takeoff Check is completed once a safe altitude (minimum 100 ft AGL) has
been achieved, and a positive rate of climb has been confirmed.
