reduced to 2500 RPM for noise abatement.
This will reduce rate of climb by approximately
15%
Airspeed for Max Rate Climb decreases by
approximately 2 MPH every 5,000 feet, to 86
mph @ 10,000 ft ASL.

Noise abatement procedures will reduce climb performance
by approximately 15%. Do not initiate noise abatement
procedures if a rate of climb appropriate to local terrain and
obstructions cannot be maintained. If observed rate of climb
is not adequate, immediately apply full power (full throttle and
propeller full fine).
26. Normal level flight power settings are between 55% and 75% BHP. Continuous cruise
power settings shall not exceed 75% BHP. Select a cruising speed appropriate to the in-flight
conditions (i.e. turbulence) and desired range and economy. Refer to the Cruise Performance
Charts in Part 4 for detailed cruise settings, or use one of the following generic settings
(2,000 MSL):

For local operations in the practice area, level flight power
settings can be set at 2400 RPM / 24 MAP, which will give an
IAS of approximately 135 MPH. MAP may be reduced as
