INAV DEPARTURE PROCEDURES<br />

400. INSTRUMENT TAKEOFF (ITO) AND CLIMB<br />

General. Safely transition to IMC from a normal takeoff (in visual meteorological conditions<br />

[VMC]).<br />

Procedure. Perform a normal takeoff. After liftoff, use outside references and the attitude<br />

indicator to control attitude. Transition to instruments at the same rate as visual cues are lost.<br />

Initially raise the nose to approximately 8-10° nose high on the attitude indicator to establish a<br />

definite rate of climb. Trim and verify climb with altimeter and VSI, raise gear and flaps.<br />

Maintain initial attitude until reaching target climb speed (180 KIAS). Non-standard climb<br />

gradients on published departures may require adjustments to the climb profile.<br />

Common Errors.<br />

1. Failure to maintain directional control on takeoff roll through improper use of rudder.<br />

2. Swerving or skipping on takeoff roll due to improper use of crosswind correction.<br />

3. Applying insufficient rudder on liftoff and attempting to correct with wing low.<br />

Figure 4-1 Climb Rate<br />

NOTE<br />

More efficient climbs may be required for obstacle clearance or<br />

specific requirements. The T-6B best rate of climb speed is 140<br />

KIAS and 15º nose high (Figure 4-1).<br />
