as appropriate. Maintain
coordination with proper rudder input during the climb out.
1. Brakes..................................................Release (steer with rudder)
Initially, a slight amount of differential braking may be required for
directional control. As airspeed increases, both feet should be
removed from toe brakes and directional control maintained with
rudder inputs.
2. Power Lever ........................................................ FULL FORWARD
Smoothly increase power lever full forward for maximum takeoff
power. Do not confuse any detents for a full power setting. Engine
speed should be approximately 2700 RPM. Discontinue takeoff if
any rough or sluggish acceleration is noted.
3. Engine Parameters ............................................................ CHECK
Monitor engine parameters during the takeoff roll. If any abnormal
or questionable indications arise, abort the takeoff early in the
takeoff roll.
4. Elevator Control ....................................... ROTATE Smoothly at V
R
As airspeed approaches V
R
, smoothly and gradually apply back
pressure to the control yoke to increase the angle of attack
sufficient to rotate the aircraft.

5. Flaps .......................................................................................... UP
Retract the flaps after the following conditions have been met.
Slight back pressure may be required after flap retraction
• SR20 - 85 KIAS,
• SR22 - 80 KIAS,
• Positive rate of climb,
• Clear of terrain and obstacles.
