It also has additional data which Cub Crafters, based on its experience, has found useful. This manual is the Approved Pilot’s Operating Handbook and it is part of the equipment that must be onboard the aircraft whenever it is operated. This manual is not intended to be a flight instruction manual. It is not a substitute for adequate, competent flight training, knowledge of current Airworthiness Directives affecting the airplane, or applicable aviation regulations. The pilot-in-command is responsible for determining whether the airplane is safe for flight. He/she is also responsible for ensuring that all operations are conducted within the limitations defined by this manual, instrument markings, and appropriate placards. While it is intended that this manual be used in flight, it must be studied regularly. The pilot must be familiar with all limitations, performance, procedures, and operational handling characteristics of the airplane prior to flight. The information in this manual is divided into numbered sections, each of which is provided with a tab divider. The order of the sections has been designed so that the LIMITATIONS and EMERGENCY SECTIONS may be looked up quickly. The EMERGENCY SECTIONS has a red divider tab.

It is divided into two parts. The first contains emergency procedure checklists. The second part amplifies the items listed in the checklists and includes information that is not readily adaptable to a checklist format or which the pilot could not be expected to refer to in an emergency situation. This information should be reviewed regularly. Pilots must familiarize themselves with the procedures in this section and must be prepared to take appropriate action should an emergency arise. It is stressed that the procedures outlined in this section are recommendations only. They are not a substitute for sound judgment and common sense and may have to be adjusted depending on the circumstances prevailing at the time of the emergency. It is important that the pilot be thoroughly familiar with the aircraft. He/She must review and practice as many of these procedures as are safe to perform as part of his/her training. Whenever airspeeds are quoted, they assume the propeller/tire configuration that gives the most conservative performance. Above all, in any emergency situation, MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE AIRCRAFT.

FLIGHT INTO KNOWN ICING CONDITIONS IS PROHIBITED. CAUTION Ice accumulation on the wings and other airframe components will greatly increase the stall speed of the airplane and result in unpredictable flight characteristics. Ice accumulation over engine induction air inlet can cause engine roughness and/or loss of power. Ice formations on the propeller may cause severe propeller/engine vibrations. Ice accumulation over the pitot and/or static ports of the air speed indicating system may cause erroneous air speed, altitude and VSI indications. Ice build-up on the windshield will distort vision and probably obscure forward visibility. At first indication of encountering icing conditions:  Pitot Heat................................................................ On  Carburetor Heat ............................................ On (Hot) Fly towards warmer air, clear of visible moisture and/or descend to lower altitude if safe to do so. CUB CRAFTERS SECTION 3 CC18-180 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES Issued: 05/31/05 REPORT TC10000AFM Date of Revision: 01/13/16 Page Number: 3-15 3.4 AMPLIFIED EMERGENCY PROCEDURES 3.4.1 ENGINE FIRE DURING START Engine fires during starting may be caused by excessive use of the engine fuel primer. The first attempt to extinguish the fire should be to draw the excess fuel into the engine. If the engine has not already started, the mixture must be moved to cut-off and the throttle opened fully before cranking the engine. If the engine starts, and fire goes out within a few seconds, run it at 1700 RPM for a few minutes. If the fire continues for more than a few seconds, it should be extinguished by the best available external means. WARNING IF A FIRE IS ON THE GROUND, UNDER THE AIRPLANE, DUE TO OVER-PRIMING, AND THE ENGINE HAS STARTED, TAXI AWAY FROM THE FIRE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. IF A FIRE IS ON THE GROUND BUT ENGINE HAS NOT STARTED, ABANDON THE AIRPLANE IMMEDIATELY. In either case, have the aircraft inspected thoroughly by a qualified mechanic to ensure that it is airworthy prior to any further flights. SECTION 3 CUB CRAFTERS EMERGENCY PROCEDURES CC18-180 REPORT TC10000AFM Issued: 05/31/05 Page Number: 3-16 Date of Revision: 01/13/16 3.4.2 ENGINE FAILURE DURING TAKEOFF If an engine failure occurs prior to lifting off, the pilot must ensure he/she maintains control of the aircraft and comes to a stop on the remainder of the runway. The items in the checklist are listed to provide added safety after a failure of this type. If engine power is lost after lift-off, the first response must be to lower the nose to maintain airspeed. In most cases, the landing should be straight ahead with only small changes in direction to avoid obstacles. There is seldom enough altitude and airspeed to execute a 180º gliding turn to the runway- in a turn, the glide angle is considerably steeper and stall speed substantially higher (at 60° bank, the stall speed is 75 mph or 65 knots IAS, flaps up). If the aircraft is high enough to attempt to re-start the engine, above all, maintain a safe airspeed. Ensure that the fuel selector is in the BOTH position, the mixture RICH. If the engine failure was caused by fuel exhaustion due to the selector being on an empty tank, power will not be restored until the air in the fuel lines is flushed out, and this may take a few seconds. CUB CRAFTERS SECTION 3 CC18-180 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES Issued: 05/31/05 REPORT TC10000AFM Date of Revision: 01/13/16 Page Number: 3-17 3.4.3 TOTAL LOSS OF ENGINE POWER IN FLIGHT If the engine loses power, whether this is a total or a partial loss of power or if the engine runs roughly, the most important thing to do is to continue flying the aircraft, maintaining a safe airspeed. Trim the aircraft as required. In case of a total loss of power, the best glide speed is 68 mph or 59 knots (IAS) with flaps up. The CC18-180 will glide 1.2 nautical miles for every 1000 feet of altitude loss. The rate of descent will be approximately 820 feet per minute. Most GPS devices have a “Direct to” function that shows the closest airports. Use charts to assess the topography of airports in the immediate vicinity. If there is enough altitude, try to determine the cause of failure. In most cases, the reason is fuel exhaustion due to the selector being on an empty tank. Switching to the BOTH position or to the opposite tank causes fuel to feed to the engine. However, power will not be restored until the air in the fuel lines is flushed out, and this may take a few seconds. Another common cause of engine failure is carburetor ice. An excessively rich air/fuel mixture may have cooled the engine to the point where there may not be sufficient hot air in the engine compartment to melt the accumulation of carburetor ice, even when the carburetor heat control is in the full "hot" position. At this point, the engine will cease to develop enough power to maintain airspeed and altitude. It is of the utmost importance that the guidelines concerning the use of the carburetor heat given in paragraph 7.5.7 (Air induction system) of this manual be followed closely. SECTION 3 CUB CRAFTERS EMERGENCY PROCEDURES CC18-180 REPORT TC10000AFM Issued: 05/31/05 Page Number: 3-18 Date of Revision: 01/13/16 3.4.4 EMERGENCY LANDING WITHOUT ENGINE POWER When you have located a suitable field, establish a spiral pattern around this field. Try to be at 1,000 feet above the field at the downwind position, to make a normal approach. Plan your approach for landing at the midpoint of the runway; aim for the normal touchdown area only after gliding to the runway is assured. Excess altitude may be lost by widening your pattern, using flaps or slipping, or by using a combination of these techniques. If possible, transmit a MAYDAY message on 121.5 MHz stating location and intentions. Squawk 7700 and activate the ELT. Once the landing site is secure and you are committed to land, apply flaps and reduce speed to 52 mph or 45 knots (IAS). Close the throttle, move the mixture control to idle cut-off, shut off the ignition switch, turn the fuel selector to off and turn off the master switch. WARNING BE EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS WHEN MANEUVERING FOR LANDING AT LOW ALTITUDES. MAINTAIN A SAFE MARGIN ABOVE STALL SPEED. SEE FIGURE 5-2 FOR STALL SPEED VS. ANGLE OF BANK. NOTE With the master switch off, the instrument, landing and navigation lights will not operate. CUB CRAFTERS SECTION 3 CC18-180 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES Issued: 05/31/05 REPORT TC10000AFM Date of Revision: 01/13/16 Page Number: 3-19 If the landing site is very rough, there is a possibility that the aircraft may come to rest inverted. Should this occur, once the aircraft has come to a stop, open the cabin door (if you have not already done so). If the doors are jammed, or if there is no clear path to leave the aircraft on the right side, it is relatively easy to push out the windows on the left side. Protect your head with one arm and release the seat harness with the other. Exit the aircraft through the doors or the windows. Once the risk of fire has passed, ensure that the Emergency Locator Transmitter has been activated. If battery power is available, it may be possible to transmit to passing aircraft using the aircraft’s VHF radio. 3.4.5 PRECAUTIONARY LANDING WITH ENGINE POWER A forced landing with engine power should be treated in the same way as described in the previous section. Bear in mind that if the engine is not running correctly, it may fail at any time and it is advisable to have a contingency plan in mind. SECTION 3 CUB CRAFTERS EMERGENCY PROCEDURES CC18-180 REPORT TC10000AFM Issued: 05/31/05 Page Number: 3-20 Date of Revision: 01/13/16 3.4.6 FIRE IN FLIGHT The presence of fire is noted through smoke, smell and heat in the cabin. Electrical fires are often accompanied by an acrid smell of burning insulation. Engine fires are very rare. The procedures outlined in the checklist are very general and pilot judgment should be the determining factor in the action to be taken. The maximum rate of descent may be obtained by diving the aircraft to 152 mph or 132 knots (IAS) and adjusting the throttle so as not to exceed 2700 RPM. Use extreme caution when flying at these limits and do not perform abrupt maneuvers (see Section 3.3.9). It may be advisable to side slip the aircraft in case of an engine fire. This will direct the flames away from the fuselage. If there is an option as to which way to side slip, it is preferable to have the left wing up as the gascolator is on the lower left side of the firewall. If the fire persists, conduct an emergency descent, land immediately and evacuate the aircraft. CUB CRAFTERS SECTION 3 CC18-180 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES Issued: 05/31/05 REPORT TC10000AFM Date of Revision: 01/13/16 Page Number: 3-21 3.4.7 LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE More often than not, a loss of oil pressure will be gradual. If it is accompanied by an increase in oil temperature, it is a sign that there is a problem with the engine’s oil system and the aircraft should be landed as soon as practical, as the engine may stop suddenly. At reduced power, maintain altitude and proceed to the nearest suitable landing site. Be prepared for a power-off forced landing. Low oil pressure could be the result of a faulty gauge or sender unit or a malfunction in the oil pressure regulating system. In any case, land as soon as practical and have the problem investigated. 3.4.8 HIGH OIL TEMPERATURE Abnormally high oil temperature indications may be caused by a variety of reasons, among them:  Low Oil Level  Obstruction in the air reaching the oil cooler  Defective Gauge A rapid rise in oil temperature must be treated seriously. Monitor the oil pressure gauge. Reduce power, enrich the mixture and, if practical, maintain a high airspeed to ram cooling air through the oil cooler. Land as soon as practical and investigate the cause, but be prepared for a power-off forced landing. SECTION 3 CUB CRAFTERS EMERGENCY PROCEDURES CC18-180 REPORT TC10000AFM Issued: 05/31/05 Page Number: 3-22 Date of Revision: 01/13/16 3.4.9 EMERGENCY DESCENT An Emergency Descent should be initiated whenever a situation occurs at high altitude requiring a high rate of descent. This is done in order to minimize exposure of the crew and passengers to an uncontrolled fire or when smoke, toxic fumes or other cause threatens control of the airplane through incapacitation or restricted visibility for the pilot (see paragraph, FIRE IN FLIGHT 3.4.6). Retard throttle to Idle. Trim airplane for maximum allowed indicated airspeed appropriate to the configuration selected and the atmospheric conditions. Advise air traffic control if flight path is in an airway. WARNING IF DESCENT IS TO BE MADE USING FULL FLAPS, SLOW THE AIRPLANE TO 89 MPH OR 77 KNOTS IAS PRIOR TO FLAP EXTENSION AND PRIOR TO STARTING THE DESCENT. EXCEEDING THE FLAP EXTENDED SPEED CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE WING STRUCTURE AND POSSIBLE FAILURE OF THE FLAP ATTACHMENTS. IF THE DESCENT IS TO BE MADE WITH THE FLAPS RETRACTED,DO NOT EXCEED 152 MPH OR 132 KNOTS IAS (IN SMOOTH AIR) OR 102 MPH OR 88 KNOTS IAS (IN ROUGH AIR). DO NOT MAKE FULL ABRUPT CONTROL MOVEMENTS ABOVE 102 MPH OR 88 KNOTS IAS. EXCEEDING THE NEVER EXCEED SPEED OR THE DESIGN AND OPERATING SPEEDS CAN CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO AND POSSIBLY FAILURE OF THE AIRPLANE STRUCTURE.

A zero or negative reading on the ammeter may indicate alternator output failure and the discharge light will illuminate when the voltage drops below 12.6 volts. The alternator circuit breaker may trip. Failure of the alternator drive belt or a mechanical failure of the alternator may be accompanied by unusual sounds emanating from the engine compartment, possibly accompanied by a hot, rubber-like odor. The first step is to reduce the electrical load to minimum. If the ammeter reading is positive, the alternator is delivering electrical power. If the ammeter continues to give a negative reading, this is an indication that the alternator has failed. Turn the battery master switch off. Check that all circuit breakers are in and wait for at least ten seconds. Turn the battery master switch on. Check that the ammeter shows a positive indication. If the alternator resumes operation, continue flight, monitor the ammeter and have the system checked after landing. If the alternator does not return on line, reduce electrical load to the minimum required for safe flight by switching off all non-essential systems. Maintain only the equipment required to provide information for safe flight. Land AS SOON AS IS PRACTICAL and conduct appropriate repairs. CAUTION Duration of the battery is dependent on the condition of the battery at the time of the failure and the electrical load being demanded. SECTION 3 CUB CRAFTERS EMERGENCY PROCEDURES CC18-180 REPORT TC10000AFM Issued: 05/31/05 Page Number: 3-24 Date of Revision: 01/13/16 3.4.11 OVERVOLTAGE With the engine running, the alternator is capable of raising the bus voltage to dangerously high levels. The voltage regulator limits the bus voltage to between 13.5 and 15.3 volts. If the bus voltage rises above 15.3 volts, a bright red “High Volts” light will illuminate. If this condition occurs, the battery master switch must be turned off immediately. Wait for at least a minute and switch master switch on and monitor the voltage to determine whether the regulator has reset itself. If the “High Volts” light comes on again, pull alternator and field circuit breakers and continue flight as failed alternator, determine what electrical equipment is essential to continue the flight and land as soon as practical. Battery power is the only source of electrical power. Anticipate complete electrical failure. 3.4.12 INADVERTENT SPIN If an inadvertent spin is entered, close the throttle, neutralize the ailerons and apply full rudder opposite to the direction of the spin. Move the elevator control forward to break the stall after applying the rudder. When the rotation stops, neutralize the rudder, relax the forward pressure on the elevator control as required to smoothly regain level flight, and return to initial power setting. If the flaps were down, retract them once a safe speed has been attained. Ensure that the maximum flap speed is not exceeded. CAUTION This recovery procedure is applicable only when the aircraft is in a spin. Application of controls as described above during a stall or after the aircraft has stopped gyrating may cause the aircraft to enter into a spin.

Aviation Weather Service may predict light, moderate or severe icing conditions at certain locations and altitudes and no icing will be encountered. On the other hand, icing conditions may not be forecast and any of the above levels of icing may occur. As indicated above, icing conditions can be encountered in areas and at altitudes where no icing is forecast. Under these conditions, immediate action must be taken to divert from the icing conditions. It may be possible to descend to a lower, warmer altitude or it may be necessary to return to an area where no icing is present. NOTE Ice is especially prevalent if flying in clouds or visible moisture. This aircraft is approved for VFR flight only. If ice build-up becomes evident on the windshield, the lift struts, or if engine operation becomes rough, turn the pitot heat and carburetor heat on. If engine operation remains rough, adjust the mixture control to obtain maximum smoothness. If engine operation continues to be rough, it may indicate that ice is accumulating on the propeller. SECTION 3 CUB CRAFTERS EMERGENCY PROCEDURES CC18-180 REPORT TC10000AFM Issued: 05/31/05 Page Number: 3-26 Date of Revision: 01/13/16 CAUTION Ice accumulation on the wings and other airframe components will greatly increase the stall speed of the airplane and result in unpredictable flight characteristics.

As a rule of thumb, if the stick is moved towards a control surface, that surface must go up. It is good practice to set trim control to the takeoff position and the fuel selector to both at this point. Ensure that both operate smoothly. Check the flaps by lowering them to the takeoff and landing positions and retracting them. Ensure that there is enough fuel for the intended flight by checking the quantity gauges. The mixture should be in the Idle/cut off position and the carburetor heat in the off (cold) position. Ensure that the magnetos are off. Check that all the electrical systems that will be used for flight operate as intended. To confirm that the stall warning is functioning correctly, with the master switch on, have someone gently operate the vane on the leading edge of the right wing. After operating the electrical system, make sure that all circuit breakers are in. Check that the windows are clean and clear of frost or snow. SECTION 4 CUB CRAFTERS NORMAL PROCEDURES CC18-180 REPORT TC10000AFM Issued: 05/31/05 Page Number: 4-14 Date of Revision: 11/20/12 If the intended operation will entail flying at night, the night visors must be installed on both side windows, over the instrument panel and on the left side panel above the fuel selector. Section 7 of this AFM explains how to install the visors. Ensure that all the documentation required for the flight is onboard. This includes charts, airworthiness certificate, registration certificate, aircraft flight manual, weight and balance data, etc. If no passenger is being carried, secure the aft seat belts and harnesses. 4.4.1.2 Right Fuselage, Wing and Landing Gear Exit the aircraft and check the general condition of the right side of the fuselage. Confirm that the baggage door and the accessory compartment doors are closed and secure. Drain enough fuel from the right sump to ascertain that there is no water or other contaminants in the tank. Dispose of the drained fuel in an appropriate manner. Check the flaps and ailerons for general condition. Pay particular attention to the hinges to make sure they are secure and the cotter pins are in place. Check the general condition of the wings, lift struts and tip. Ensure that all the vortex generators are in place. If one should be missing, there will be a mark on the paint of the wing where it should have been. As you walk to the leading edge of the wing, look out for dents; ensure that the tie downs have been removed and gently operate the stall-warning vane. The fuel drain must be clear. Check the fuel cap by standing on the step provided on the landing gear. Inspect the landing gear, tires, brakes and shock absorber for condition and remove any chocks from under the wheel. CUB CRAFTERS SECTION 4 CC18-180 NORMAL PROCEDURES Issued: 05/31/05 REPORT TC10000AFM Date of Revision: 11/20/12 Page Number: 4-15 4.4.1.3 Nose Section There are two ports for the static system, located just behind the engine compartment. Ensure that the one on the right side is clear. Open the right cowling and check the oil for quantity. Maximum capacity is 8 U.S. quarts (7.6 liters) and the minimum is 2 U.S. quarts (1.9 liters). However, it is strongly recommended the engine should not be operated below 6 U.S. quarts (5.7 liters). Ensure the oil filler cap is secure. Do not over-tighten, especially when the engine is hot. Check the general condition of the engine, paying special attention to the exhaust and muffler, security of throttle and mixture controls and make sure that there are no apparent leaks of fluids or gases. Close and latch the cowling. As you make your way around the forward part of the aircraft, inspect the propeller for nicks and the spinner for security and cracks. 4.4.1.4 Left Fuselage, Wing and Landing Gear Open the left cowl and repeat the inspection done on the right side. Close the cowling and drain fuel from the fuel strainer on the lower left side of the firewall, ensuring that there is no water or other contaminants. Dispose of the fuel in an appropriate manner. Repeat the procedure carried out on the right wing, fuselage side and landing gear. 4.4.1.5 Empennage Check the tail surfaces for general condition and the tail wire bracing for security and tension. The hinges should be secured with cotter pins. Check the condition of the tail wheel and the springs. Check the rudder cable for condition and proper attachment. Check the condition of the tail wheel and springs. Remove the tie down. SECTION 4 CUB CRAFTERS NORMAL PROCEDURES CC18-180 REPORT TC10000AFM Issued: 05/31/05 Page Number: 4-16 Date of Revision: 11/20/12 4.4.2 STARTUP AND TAXI 4.4.2.1 Before Starting Engine Adjust the seat using the lever on the left side of the seat- base. Seat belts should be fastened and the passenger briefed. Close the door. Engage the parking brakes, ensure that the fuel selector is in the BOTH position, verify that the avionics master switch is off and ensure that the propeller area is clear. 4.4.2.2 Starting Engine Turn the battery master switch on. Switch the beacon on. Switch both magnetos on. Push the mixture control in to full rich. If the engine is cold, it may be desirable to prime the engine. To do this, rotate the primer control until it unlocks, pull it out and push it in, normally three times (more priming may be required in colder weather). After priming, make sure that the control is locked. Open the throttle 1/4 inch. Verify that the propeller area is clear and engage the starter. Oil pressure should rise within 30 seconds; otherwise shut the engine down. Turn on any lights that may be required. The avionics master switch may now be switched on and the radios tuned as necessary. 4.4.2.3 Starting Engine When Flooded The throttle should be in the full open position. Turn the battery master switch on. Switch both magnetos on. The mixture control should be in the idle cut-off position. Verify that the propeller area is clear and engage the starter. As soon as the engine fires, move the mixture control to the rich position and reduce the throttle. Oil pressure should rise within 30 seconds; otherwise shut the engine down. CUB CRAFTERS SECTION 4 CC18-180 NORMAL PROCEDURES Issued: 05/31/05 REPORT TC10000AFM Date of Revision: 11/20/12 Page Number: 4-17 4.4.2.4 Warm Up Textron Lycoming recommends that before takeoff, the engine should be warmed up for 2 to 3 minutes, although longer may be required when the temperatures are below freezing. The engine is warm enough when it idles at around 600 RPM and accelerates smoothly. Avoid running the engine at idle for too long as it will tend to foul the spark plugs. If you need to add power over loose stones or gravel, do so carefully to avoid damaging the propeller. 4.4.2.5 Taxiing Before starting to taxi, make sure that the propeller blast will not affect the area behind the aircraft and that there are no unapproved people close to the aircraft. Apply power and keep the elevator control stick back at all times. Apply both brakes and steer from side to side to make sure the aircraft is controllable on the ground. In very cold weather conditions, it may be advisable to use the pitot heat. SECTION 4 CUB CRAFTERS NORMAL PROCEDURES CC18-180 REPORT TC10000AFM Issued: 05/31/05 Page Number: 4-18 Date of Revision: 11/20/12 4.4.3 FLIGHT 4.4.3.1 Before Takeoff When the run-up area is reached, set the parking brakes. Perform the magneto check at 1700 RPM, as follows:  Turn the ignition switch from both to the left magneto “L” and note the RPM drop. Turn the switch back to Both.  Turn the ignition switch from both to the right magneto “R” and note the RPM drop. Turn the switch back to Both. The RPM drop should not exceed 175 RPM on either magneto or show greater than a 50 RPM difference between magnetos. The engine should run smoothly on either magneto. If there is no drop in RPM, there may be a fault in the system and it should be checked. Do not run the engine on one magneto for longer than 10 seconds. If both magnetos are switched off while the engine is running, do not turn them back on. Cut the mixture and re- start the engine. If the magnetos are turned back on while the engine is running, damage may be done to the exhaust system and the engine should be inspected prior to flight. Apply the carburetor heat to be sure that it is operating. You will note a drop of about 75 RPM when it is selected. This will also clear any ice that may have formed during taxiing. Bear in mind that when the carburetor heat is selected, unfiltered air is entering the engine, its use on the ground should be kept to a minimum. The presence of ice may be recognized by the fact that the engine may momentarily run roughly when the carburetor heat is applied. This may be followed by an increase in RPM. When the carburetor heat is removed, the RPM may increase beyond 1700 RPM. CUB CRAFTERS SECTION 4 CC18-180 NORMAL PROCEDURES Issued: 05/31/05 REPORT TC10000AFM Date of Revision: 11/20/12 Page Number: 4-19 Check all engine parameters. Apply an electrical load (for example, by switching on the pitot heat) and observe that there is an increase in the electrical current drawn from the alternator. Retard the throttle to idle to verify that the engine runs smoothly at minimum RPM (at least 600 RPM). Advance it to 1000 RPM. In hot and high conditions, especially above 3,000 feet, it is important to lean the mixture prior to the magneto check. To do this, apply full power. Slowly lean the mixture until you observe the peak RPM. Retard the throttle slowly and proceed with the rest of the run-up. Prior to takeoff, verify that the flight instruments operate correctly. Ensure that the fuel selector is on BOTH, the mixture is set, carburetor heat in the cold position and trim adjusted for takeoff. Engine gauges should be in the normal ranges. Flaps should be selected for takeoff; first notch (22°) is recommended. The door should be closed and seat belts fastened. 4.4.3.2 Takeoff 4.4.3.2.1 Normal Takeoff The normal takeoff technique uses the first notch (22°) of flaps. Align on the runway and open the throttle. With the elevator in neutral, allow the tail to come up. At about 58 MPH or 50 KTS IAS, apply back pressure on the stick until the aircraft leaves the runway. 4.4.3.3 Climb The best rate of climb speed at gross weight is 74 MPH or 64 KTS IAS and best angle is at 60 MPH or 52 KTS IAS, with flaps up. At lower weights, these speeds will be reduced. SECTION 4 CUB CRAFTERS NORMAL PROCEDURES CC18-180 REPORT TC10000AFM Issued: 05/31/05 Page Number: 4-20 Date of Revision: 11/20/12 Normal en-route climbs should be carried out at 80 to 90 MPH or 70 to 78 KTS IAS. At above 3000 feet, begin to lean the mixture. Consider the use of carburetor heat if weather conditions that may produce carburetor icing prevail. 4.4.3.4 Cruise Once cruising altitude is reached, set the power. Normal cruising is performed between 55% and 80% power. As the aircraft accelerates, RPM will increase. Do not exceed 2700 RPM. Reduce the power to the selected setting and adjust the mixture. This may be accomplished using an EGT gauge. If one is installed, its operation manual will be found in Section 9. Otherwise, the engine may be leaned by slowly pulling the mixture back until there is a drop in RPM or the engine runs roughly. At this point, advance the mixture slightly (about 1/8”) or until the engine runs smoothly. NOTE With a new engine, try to use 75% power as often as possible until either a total of 50 hours of operations have been accumulated or the oil consumption has stabilized. This will ensure that the piston rings seat correctly. 4.4.3.5 Descent During descent, use the carburetor heat as required. Take care not to exceed the maximum speed of the engine (2700 RPM). CUB CRAFTERS SECTION 4 CC18-180 NORMAL PROCEDURES Issued: 05/31/05 REPORT TC10000AFM Date of Revision: 11/20/12 Page Number: 4-21 4.4.3.6 Approach and Landing Flaps may be lowered to the first notch (22°) when the airspeed is below 98 MPH or 85 KTS IAS. The maximum speed for full flaps (50°) is 89 MPH or 77 KTS IAS. CAUTION Plan the pattern so that steep turns are not required when turning from down-wind to base leg and from base leg to final. Steep turns increase stall speed (Figure 5-2 and 5-3, Stall Speed vs. Angle of Bank). Steep turns, low power and slow airspeed can be dangerous, particularly if the airplane is heavily loaded and/or with gusty or turbulent wind conditions. 4.4.3.6.1 Normal Landing The normal landing in the CC18-180 is in a three-point stalled condition. Adjust throttle and pitch attitude to compensate for ground effect as the aircraft approaches the runway. At approximately 10 feet AGL, smoothly begin landing flare to attain a three-point attitude. Maintain this attitude and adjust the throttle to accomplish a smooth touchdown. Gradually bring the stick back, keeping it back throughout the landing roll; maintain directional control with rudder and differential braking, as necessary. It is possible to settle the aircraft on the ground at higher speeds in a two-point configuration. The landing flare is kept flat, aiming to place the main landing gear wheels on the runway at a minimum sink rate. When the wheels contact the ground, the stick must be moved forward to counteract the pitching up reaction of the aircraft. After the aircraft has slowed down, the tail may be brought down with the stick. Bear in mind that the rudder will begin to lose effectiveness as airspeed is reduced. Maintain directional control. Apply brakes as necessary.
