3 Climbing
Climbing with Best Rate of Climb
With engine set to full power establish V
X
, this is an indicated
airspeed of 56 mph (49 kts). At this airspeed the aircraft will achieve
the steepest angle of climb. During the climb it is essential to watch
oil- and water (CHT) temperatures. Adjust the oil temperature
regulation flap as required.
Climbing with Best Rate of Climb
With engine set to full power establish V
Y
, this is an indicated
airspeed of 75 mph (65 kts). At this airspeed the aircraft will achieve
the best rate of climb. During the climb it is essential to watch oil-
and water (CHT) temperatures. Adjust the oil temperature regulation
flap as required.
Climbing while in cruise
If you have to climb in cruise, select an airspeed between 90 to 100
mph (78 to 86 kts). At these speeds, the aircraft will climb between
600 to 800 ft/min, depending on weather conditions, altitude and
weight of the aircraft.
It is strongly recommended to watch oil- and water (CHT)
temperatures. Under no circumstances should any of the engine
temperature limits be exceeded, otherwise, an engine failure may
result.
Climbing in rain or with dirty aircraft
Raindrops and bugs affect the performance of an aircraft. Be aware
that in these conditions the performance figures are not met anymore
as they apply for a clean aircraft. Expect a performance loss of
10…15%.
