Crosswind Takeoff
Under strong x-wind conditions minimum flap setting necessary for the field length, to minimize drift
angle immediately after take off
With ailerons into the wind the aircraft is accelerated to a slightly higher than normal speed and
pulled briskly off to prevent possible settling back to the runway while drifting
Enroute Climb
A CRUISE climb at 25” MP, 2400 RPM, 16 GPH and 90-100 KIAS is normally recommended to provide
an optimum combination of performance, visibility, engine cooling, economy and passenger comfort
BEST RATE OF CLIMB – max continuous power, 84 KIAS at SL decreasing to 80 KIAS at 20 000 ft
BEST ANGLE OF CLIMB – max continuous power, 64 KIAS at SL increasing to 68 KIAS at 20 000 ft,
flaps retracted. Monitor cylinder head and oil temperature.
ENROUTE CLIMB
NORMAL CLIMB
1. Airspeed – 90-100 KIAS
2. Power – 25” Hg and 2400 RPM
3. Mixture – 16 GPH
4. Fuel Selector Valve – Both
5. Cowl Flaps – Open as required
6. Oxygen – ON as required. Check masks for proper flow and fit
MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE CLIMB
1. Airspeed – 84 KIAS at Sea Level to 80 KIAS at 20 000 ft
2. Power – 32” Hg and 2400 RPM
3. Mixture – Adjust to 24 GPH
4. Cowl Flaps – Open
5. Fuel Selector Valve – Both
6. Oxygen – On as required. Check masks for proper flow and fit
CRUISE
1. Set Power – 24” Hg (Sea Level – 18 000 ft), 2300 or 2250 RPM
2. Elevator and Rudder Trim – Adjust
3. Mixture – Lean
4. Cowl Flaps – Closed
5. Oxygen – Monitor quantity (if in use) and Check passengers for adequate supply periodically during
flight
Amplified Procedures
Normal cruise is performed at 24” Hg and 2300 rpm at all altitudes. This gives approximately 75% of
rated maximum continuous power (MCP)
Cruise performance charts in Section 5 are for still air with optional speed fairings installed,
maximum weight
LEANING WITH THE T.I.T INDICATOR
T.I.T should be used for mixture leaning in cruising flight
CAUTION
LEANING WITH A T.I.T INDICATOR IS PERMITTED ONLY WHEN USING POWER SETTINGS WITHIN THE
GREEN ARC RANGES
