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 />
instead of full flap setting.<br />
