Part B Section 2
2.2.1 NORMAL TAKE-OFF
01 TAKE-OFF POWER SETTING
The standard take-off power setting is 48’ MAP/2700 RPM
02 SPEEDS
Take-off speed V1 = 83 kts IAS (is Vmca)
- Speed Relations
Vmca = 83kts IAS
Vr = 1,05* Vmca = 87 kts IAS
V2 = 1,1 * Vmca = 91 kts IAS
03 NORMAL TAKE OFF
When lined up, compass heading and aircraft position should be checked for positive
runway identification.
Where obstacles, noise abatement or instrument departure routes require such, this
procedure should be amended accordingly.
A rolling take-off is recommended, except in limited runway length conditions.
When making a take-off from the brakes advance the throttles and just before reaching
take-off power release the brakes.
Pitch trim setting is normally 0 so the stick-forces at rotation vary with the CG.
To apply take-off power, advance the power levers slowly.
For all take-offs the landing lights shall be switched on unless weather conditions are such
that undue glare results.
During crosswind take-off the tendency for the upwind wing to lift should be counteracted
by decisive use of aileron during the take-off run, rotation and lift-off.
Directional control during take-off run must be maintained by rudder control. Nosewheel
should be straight before power application.
Keep aft pressure on the control column during the whole take-off run with the wind on the
nose or slight crosswind. With more than10 kts crosswind keep the nose on the ground but
avoid shimmy on the nosewheel.
