Normal Takeoff

The normal takeoff procedure emphasizes setting the elevator trim for VY at full power and establishing a climb attitude of +7° shortly before reaching the POH liftoff speed. Pilots should verify a positive rate of climb before retracting the landing gear and adjusting to a cruise climb at 800-1000 feet AGL.

Crosswind Takeoff

In crosswind conditions, the elevator trim setting remains the same, and pilots should establish a slight climb attitude at 5 knots above the POH liftoff speed. The procedure includes verifying a positive rate of climb and retracting the landing gear after takeoff.

Short Field Takeoff

For short field takeoffs, pilots may use flaps and must establish a Vx attitude shortly before the POH liftoff speed. After clearing obstacles, they should adjust the climb attitude to maintain at least blue line +10 knots.

Soft Field Takeoff

The soft field takeoff procedure advises keeping the nosewheel slightly off the surface during the takeoff roll and lifting off into ground effect when able. Pilots should verify a positive rate of climb and retract the landing gear after takeoff.

Normal Landing

The normal landing procedure includes a final GUMP check at 500 feet AGL, maintaining a slow speed over the runway threshold, and keeping weight off the nosewheel during rollout.

Safety notes

  • Do not perform stalls with fuel in tip tanks.
  • Do not perform stalls with more than one person in the rear seats.
