2. Handle control - neutral position
3. Brake - the brake tighten up, the main gear must be secured by Scotch blocks or an
assistant must hold the airplane
4. Acceleration - reach maximum revolutions during 3 sec. watch equability of engine
starting and regularity of engine operation

6. No-load speed - equable engine operation
N O T I C E :
4.6 TAXIING
On an airfield the taxiing speed is maximum 5 kts (
10 km/h / 6 mph
= walking speed )
4.7 PROCEDURES BEFORE TAKE-OFF
1. Directional control - freedom of movement
2. Handle control - freedom of movement
3. Instruments - checking of values, fuel quantity
4. Safety belts - checking of connection and tightness
5. Fuel condition lever - position " O P E N "
6. Change over switch for igniter - position " O N "
7. Balance - for two pilots - position "heavy on the tail"
- for solo flight - position " neutral "
8. Choke - checking of the shut-down and locking

4.8 TAKE - OFF
1. Checking of opening fuel
2. Instruments
3. Clear runway

Set the airplane in motion by continuous increasing power.
After reach out of speed 35 knots (40 mph or 65 km/hour) use the elevator for lift out of the airplane.
After attainment of speed 40 to 46 knots (47 to 53 mph or 75 - 85 km/hour ) climb with speed 400 to 1000 ft/min
( 2 to 5 m/s ) - it depends on the weight of airplane and type of the engine.
