extension.
THINGS TO AVOID
Lowering of landing gear or flaps except when necessary for landing.
Excelerating throttle rapidly from reduced power to full power.
Low flat approaches with landing gear and flaps fully extended attempting to drag the airplane into the field
with power. The technique should be developed to be always reducing power on the approach and avoid
being forced to apply excessive power at low speeds.
TAKE-OFF IF LANDING IS NOT COMPLETED
Open throttles to take-off stop and after propeller rpm has stabilized push prop control forward to TAKE-
OFF position.
Props forward
Throttles forward
Retract landing gear.
CAUTION:
Pull the airplane up in a climb to stay below 150 mph indicated airspeed until the flaps are retracted.
