Aircraft help

Takeoff

  • Confirm the nose wheel is centered.
  • Controls are in proper position for takeoff.
  • Flaps: 15° degrees (0° is fine on longer runways).
  • Apply the throttle smoothly to fully open (forward).
  • After takeoff, release the back pressure on the stick slowly as airspeed builds to 59 kts. Climb to a minimum height 600 ft. in straight ahead flight at 59 kts, before attempting to turn the aircraft.
  • Do not reduce flaps to below 0° with less than 59 kts airspeed.

Climb

  • Decrease flaps to -6° and increase the climb speed to 86 kts.

Approach

  • Slow down to 54 kts (with experience, a slightly slower approach speed can be used).
  • Set flaps between 15° to 40°.

Landing

  • At the distance of 3 ft over the ground close the throttle and land the airplane gently.
