12) At 1500 feet above field elevation, begin slat retraction per retraction table.Maximum slat speed limits are:Slat PositionCONF 1CONF 1+FMax Speed280 knots233 knotsCONF 2 216CONF 3 206FULL 20013) Increase speed to 230 – 250 in accordance with ATC instructions (max250 KTS below 10,000 feet).14) For full manoeuvrability beneath 10,000 feet, slats must be fully retractedwith aircraft at minimum safe airspeed.CLIMB1) Select highest FLEX N1 setting. Once climb thrust or airspeed is set, theautopilot will compensate for environmental condition changesautomatically during the climb.2) It is recommended that the aircraft be flown manually up to 15,000 feet,weather and ATC traffic conditions permitting. However, in high trafficconditions, to easy the workload of the pilot, the autopilot MCDU altitudeintervention may be engaged above a minimum altitude of 80 feet with thelanding gear up.3) Climb settings use a 10 – 20% derate of thrust up to 10,000 feet, thenincreases linearly to max thrust at 30,000 feet.4) For enroute climb, climb at a rate of 1800 - 2300 FPM, pursuant to ATCand traffic conditions. If there are no altitude or airspeed restrictions,accelerate to the recommended speed. The sooner the aircraft can beaccelerated to the proper climb speed, the more fuel and time efficient theflight.5) As engine and wing icing may occur during the climb and descent, theengine anti-icing system should be in the AUTO or ON position whenevericing is possible. NOTE: Failure to do so may result in engine stall,overheating, or engine damage.12
6) For normal economy climb, follow ATC speed restrictions of 250 KTSbelow 10,000 feet. If permitted by ATC and no speed restriction below10,000 feet, increase speed to 280 KTS. Above 10,000 feet, climb at 300KTS or .84 MACH. Climb speed table is as follows:ALTITUDESea Level to10,000 feetAbove 10,000feetSPEED250 KTS300 KTS/.840MACH7) Max climb speed is 300 knots until reaching .840 MACH at initial cruisealtitude.8) For engine out climb, speed and performance various with gross weightand altitude, however 260 knots at 1000 – 1500 FPM may be used.9) Set standard barometer above airport transition level (depends on localairport geography).CRUISE1) Cruise at .84 MACH (normal cruise), .82 MACH (long-range cruise), or .80MACH (ultra long range cruise).2) Step climb typically in 4000 feet minimum intervals, minimum 300 FPMclimb.
