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 />
