The
takeoff
technique is conventional
for
the Cherokee
Six.
The tab should
be
set slightly
aft of neutral,
with
the
exact
setting
determined
by
the
loading
of the aircraft.
Allow
the
airplane to accelerate to
65
to
70
MPH,
then ease back
on
the
wheel
enough to let the airplane
fly itself
off
the
ground.
Premature
raising of
the
nose,
or
raising
it
to
an
excessive
angle, will
result in
a delayed
takeoff. After takeoff let the aircraft
accelerate to the
desired
climb speed by
lowering the
nose
slightly.
Takeoffs are normally
made with flaps
extended
10"
(first
notch).
Short Field,
Obstacle
Clearance:
Lower flaps to 25"
(second
notch), accelerate
aircraft to
65-70 miles
per
hour and
ease
back
on the wheel to rotate.
After
breaking
ground,
accelerate
to
best angle
of
climb
speed,
95
miles
per
hour,
and climb
past
obstacle. Continue climb
and
accelerate to
best
rate of
climb
speed, 105
miles
per
hour, and slowly retract
the
flaps.

Lower flaps
to
25o
(second

and ease

on the
wheel
to
rotate.
After
breaking
ground,
accelerate
to
best rate of
climb
speed, 105
miles
per
hour, and slowly retract the
flaps
while climbing
out.

pull
nose
gear
off
as soon
as

possible
airspeed.
Accelerate
just
above
the
ground
to best angle
of climb
speed,
95
miles
per
hour,
to
climb
past
obstacle
clearance
height.
Continue climb
while
accelerating
to
best
rate of climb
