TAKEOFF (Continued)
WING
FLAP
SETTINGS
Normal takeoffs use wing flaps UP - 20° (10° preferred). Using 20° wing
flaps
reduces
the
ground
roll
and
total
distance
over
an
obstacle
by
approximately 20 percent. Flap deflections greater than 20° are not
approved for takeoff. If 20° wing flaps are used for takeoff, the flaps
should stay at 20° until all obstacles are cleared and a safe flap
retraction speed of 70 KIAS is reached. For a short field, 20° wing flaps
and
an
obstacle
clearance
speed
of
60
KIAS
should
be
used.
Soft or rough field takeoffs are performed with 20° flaps by lifting the
airplane off the ground as soon as practical in a slightly tail low attitude.
If no obstacles are ahead, the airplane should be leveled off
immediately
to
accelerate
to
a
higher
climb
speed.
When
departing
a
soft field with an aft C.G. loading, the elevator trim control should be
adjusted towards the nose down direction to give comfortable control
wheel forces during the initial climb.
CROSSWIND TAKEOFF
Takeoffs under strong crosswind conditions normally are performed
with the minimum flap setting necessary for the field length, to minimize
the
drift
angle
immediately
after
takeoff.
With
the
ailerons
partially
deflected into the wind, the airplane is accelerated to a speed slightly
higher than normal, then the elevator control is used to quickly, but
carefully, lift the airplane off the ground and to prevent possible settling
back to the runway while drifting. When clear of the ground, make a
coordinated turn into the wind to correct for drift.
