TAKEOFF
Takeoff Power Settings
Refer to the Maximum Torque for Takeoff table in “Section 5” of this manual
to determine the torque value corresponding to the runway altitude and
temperature conditions. At higher altitudes and/or higher temperatures, the
maximum allowable torque is less than the instrument’s redline. This torque
should be obtainable without exceeding the 790°C ITT and 101.6%
Ng
takeoff
limitations.
To accomplish a smooth takeoff roll, hold the brakes while smoothly
advancing the power until the propeller RPM reaches 2200. Smoothly release
the brakes and continue to advance the power until the takeoff torque derived
from “Section 5” is reached.
Takeoff Wing Flap Settings
A ap setting of 20° is recommended for all takeoffs unless a strong crosswind
is present, in which case 10° of aps may be preferred. The use of 20° of
aps is recommended due to the decreased takeoff roll, lower liftoff speed
and a decrease in the total distance to clear obstacles (compared to using 10°
of aps).
A ap setting of greater than 20° is not recommended for takeoff use, due to
the increased drag with the aps deected to 35°.
Short Field Takeoff
If obstacles dictate the use of a steep climb angle after liftoff, accelerate
to and climb out at 73 KIAS with 20° of aps. The takeoff performance
data outlined in “Section 5” of this manual is based on this speed and
conguration.
After clearing the obstacle, and reaching a safe operating altitude, the aps
may be gradually retracted as the airplane accelerates to the normal climb-out
speed.
Minimum ground roll (soft eld) takeoffs are accomplished by using 20° of
aps, lifting the nose wheel off the ground as soon as practical, and lifting off
of the ground in a slightly tail low attitude. Once the airplane is airborne, the
nose should be lowered and the airplane accelerated in ground effect to a
safe climb speed.
NOTE: As the airspeed increases during takeoff, a resultant increase in
torque may be noted, and is a normal condition. No reduction of torque
is required provided the torque limit of 1790 (at 2200 RPM) at low density
altitude or the limiting torque from the “Maximum Torque for Takeoff” chart
in “Section 5” is not exceeded.
