23 in.hg. or full throttle (whichever is less) and 2400 RPM for the
best combination of performance, visibility and engine cooling. The
mixture should be full rich during climb at altitudes up to 5000 feet
pressure altitude. Above 5000 feet pressure altitude, full rich
mixture is recommended but the mixture can be leaned as needed
for increased power or to provide smoother engine operation.
If it is necessary to climb more rapidly to clear mountains or reach
favorable winds at higher altitudes, the best rate of climb speed
should be used with maximum power. This speed is 80 KlAS at
(sea level, decreasing to 74 KlAS at 10,000 feet. For maximum
power climb (full throttle), the mixture should be set in accordance
with the Maximum Power Fuel Flow placard.
If an obstruction dictates the use of a steep climb angle, the best
angle-of-climb speed should be used with flaps up and maximum
power. This speed is 65 KlAS at sea level, increasing to 68 KlAS at
10,000 feet. This type of climb should be of the minimum duration
and engine temperatures should be carefully monitored due to the
low climb speed.
For maximum power, the mixture should be set in accordance with
the Maximum Power Fuel flow placard.
