3 Climbing<br />

Climbing with Best Rate of Climb<br />

With engine set to full power establish V X , this is an indicated<br />

airspeed of 56 mph (49 kts). At this airspeed the aircraft will a<strong>ch</strong>ieve<br />

the steepest angle of climb. During the climb it is essential to wat<strong>ch</strong><br />

oil- and water (CHT) temperatures. Adjust the oil temperature<br />

regulation flap as required.<br />

Climbing with Best Rate of Climb<br />

With engine set to full power establish V Y , this is an indicated<br />

airspeed of 75 mph (65 kts). At this airspeed the aircraft will a<strong>ch</strong>ieve<br />

the best rate of climb. During the climb it is essential to wat<strong>ch</strong> oiland<br />

water (CHT) temperatures. Adjust the oil temperature regulation<br />

flap as required.<br />

Climbing while in cruise<br />

If you have to climb in cruise, select an airspeed between 90 to 100<br />

mph (78 to 86 kts). At these speeds, the aircraft will climb between<br />

600 to 800 ft/min, depending on weather conditions, altitude and<br />

weight of the aircraft.<br />

It is strongly recommended to wat<strong>ch</strong> oil- and water (CHT)<br />

temperatures. Under no circumstances should any of the engine<br />

temperature limits be exceeded, otherwise, an engine failure may<br />

result.<br />

Climbing in rain or with dirty aircraft<br />

Raindrops and bugs affect the performance of an aircraft. Be aware<br />

that in these conditions the performance figures are not met anymore<br />

as they apply for a clean aircraft. Expect a performance loss of<br />

10…15%.<br />
