5.7. CLIMB
Due to position of fuel sensors, during climb fuel gauges in cockpit will indicate a fuel
quantity slightly lower than the real amount. Regaining level flight will immediately
restore correct indications.
For 5000ft density altitude and above, or high ambient temperatures, a FULL RICH
mixture may cause rough running of the engine or a loss of performance.
The mixture may be adjusted to obtain smooth engine operations.
Lean to maximum RPM at Full Throttle prior to take-off where airports are at 5000ft
density altitude or higher.
During climb, a rough method of correctly leaning is to slowly reduce mixture lever
until an increase of appr.ly 50-100 RPM is noticed at constant IAS or EGT reaches
1375°F mark.
1. Flaps: UP (minimum speed 73KIAS)
Expect to adjust pitch trim (pitch up) when retracting flaps after take-off
2. Establish climb Vy: 82KIAS
3. Electrical fuel pump: OFF
4. Fuel pressure: check within limits
5. Throttle: FULL
6. MIXTURE: RICH, above 5000ft keep EGT constant
7. Engine instruments: in the GREEN
If the fuel pressure warning light illuminates, or the fuel pressure indication is below
green arc, the electrical fuel pump must be switched ON.
