NOTE: Power settings are approximate and will vary with aircraft weight, altitude, etc. Make corrections as needed. Throughout this manual, when mandated by procedure to establish a specific power setting, a power setting within +- ___ % is acceptable. The only exception is for procedures that mandate a ____ % power setting to simulate the feathered condition or if maintaining a desired airspeed (the power setting is just an approximate starting point)
+-3%
4-6%
For safety considerations, complete an operations check at least once every ___ minutes in flight, with the first check being accomplished during the ____.
20 minutes
initial departure climb
The takeoff and climb process is one continuous maneuver divided into three separate steps:
1)
2)
3)

2) Rotation
3) Initial Climb
To rotate, apply backstick pressure at ___ KIAS
90 KIAS
Takeoff attitude is ___ degrees nose high, spinner on or slightly below the ____
7-10 degrees nose high
Spinner on or slightly below the horizon
Once two positive rate of climb (as noted on ___ and ___) are verified and a ___ cannot be made on the remaining runway in front of you, raise the gear and flaps. Accelerate to ___-___ KIAS (IAW local SOP or Course Rules)
