TAKEOFF PROCEDURES
Normal Takeoff:
Procedure:
Apply Left Rudder as power is smoothly added
o
Full Rudder is normal until rudder becomes fully effective about 60 kmlhr (30 kts)
Add Full Throttle and Check Engine lnstruments
o
Manifold PSI should be Atmospheric PSI plus 85 mm Hg
Approximately 830 mm Hg and 2350 RPM
Rotate at approximately 100 kmlhr (55 kts) and allow aircraft to
fly
off the ground
o
The nosewheel should be about 4-6 inches off the ground
Initial Climb 170 kmlhr (90 kts)
Positive Rate of Climb and Insufficient Runway Remaining- Gear Up
At 500 AGL Set Climb Power
o
750 mm Hg and 2250 RPM
o
Airspeed 180-200 kmlhr (1 00-1 10 kts) for cruise climb
o
Clearing Turns
Common Errors:
o
Poor directional control, requiring excessive braking.
Short Field Takeoff:
Purpose: To safely become airborne using the minimum runway length and clear an obstacle.

Minimize use of left brake for directional control
o
Check Engine lnstruments
Rotate at 130 kmlhr (70 kts)
Pitch Up to Maintain lnitial Climb
@
Vx 140 kmlhr (75 kts)
