4.5 TAKE-OFF PROCEDURE
4.5.1 BEFORE TAKE-OFF
Before you line up at the runway for take-off:
- Check oil pressure and oil temperature.
- Check the magnetos on 1800 RPM. Allowed drop is 175 RPM
(max. difference 50 RPM).
- Check Alternator Output
- Move also the propeller control through its complete range to check operation and
return to full "High RPM" position. Turn boost pump "ON" (check indicator movement on
the fuel flow gauche).
The RPM Gauge is electronically operated. To check the magnetos the RPM source switch
must be set to the same magento as the igintion switch. Otherwise the gauge will show
zero.
4.5.2 TAKE-OFF
Set throttle smoothly to max and let the airspeed go up to 60-65 KIAS. A light pressure on
the stick lifts the tail to horizontal position. Rotate the aircraft at 65 KIAS. On reaching climb
speed of 100 KIAS reduce the RPM / Manifold Pressure to 2400/24" and proceed climbing.
4.6 CLIMB
Due to noise protection, the maximum continous RPM is restricted to 2400.
If not stated somewhere else (refer to Section: 4.12 Acrobatic Maneuvers) the aircraft may
be operated in the acrobatic maneuvers up to 2700 RPM. RPM above 2400 should,
however, be used only for acrobatic maneuvers when necessary for maximum performance
in order to avoid unnecessary noise.
Turn boost pump "OFF".
4.7 CRUISE
1. Altitude - As selected
2. Throttle/RPM - Adjust for cruising speed
3. Mixture - Adjust for minimum fuel consumption
4. Trim - As required
5. Fuel - Check periodically
