2.7. BEFORE TAKE-OFF
Before proceeding with a ground run-up, be sure that the propeller system is purged, by
feathering the propeller once or twice with the Power Lever in the idle position. Items a –
d below should be used to check the Propeller over speed governor:
a. Place the propeller lever in full increase RPM (forward) position.
b. Increase RPM with the power lever at least to 1800 RPM.
c. Momentarily exercise the prop test switch and check for a small decrease
in RPM.
d. Reduce power back to idle.
e. Flight Controls – Check free and correct.
f. Elevator Tab – SET for take-off
g. Flaps – Flaps 15 to achieve para. 4.5 take-off performance.
h. Prop Control – FORWARD high RPM.
i. Strobe Lights – ON
j. Determine takeoff distance per Para. 4.5 “Take-off Distance to reach 50 ft
above ground level”.
2.8. NORMAL FLIGHT PROCEDURES
Take-Off
a. Brakes RELEASE
b. Power Lever ADVANCE. Do not exceed engine
operational limitations.
c. After breaking ground, allow airspeed to build up to best-rate-of-climb
speed of 106 MCAS and retract flaps.
Hold the Elevator Control firmly FULL UP during all
high power ground operation to keep the airplane from
nosing over.
NOTE:
Best rate of climb is achieved with flaps up.
