7 Normal Procedures<br />

7.7 Best Rate of Climb Speed (V Y )<br />

The maximum climb rate is a<strong>ch</strong>ieved at an airspeed of about 75 mph<br />

(65 kts). Please monitor CHT, oil and water temperature during long<br />

periods of climbing. Oil temperature regulation flap must be set to<br />

position "open" or "cooler".<br />

7.8 Cruise<br />

The cruising speed is related to relevant aircraft weight and selected<br />

power setting. For continuous operation the engine speed must not<br />

exceed 5.500 rpm. In no case the never exceed airspeed (V NE ) of<br />

155 mph (134 kts) shall be exceeded.<br />

7.9 Approa<strong>ch</strong><br />

To prepare for approa<strong>ch</strong>, swit<strong>ch</strong> on the electric fuel pump and set the<br />

elevator trim as required, set carburetor heat to "warm" (pull) as<br />

necessary. When entering final, we recommend establishing an<br />

airspeed of 75 mph (65 kts) and extending flaps to the 40° position.<br />

7.10 Normal Landing<br />

The airspeed for tou<strong>ch</strong> down should indicate about 50 mph (45 kts).<br />

The tou<strong>ch</strong> down should be first onto the main gear. The maximum<br />

demonstrated crosswind component is 17 mph (15 kts).<br />

Landings shall be done with full flap setting (40°). In case of a<br />

headwind component of more than 17 mph (15 kts) it is<br />

recommended to carry out the landing with a flaps setting of 15° only<br />
