  Chapter 9: Approaches and Landings › Go-Arounds (Rejected Landings) › Configuration

  Configuration After establishing the proper climb attitude and power settings, the pilot's next concern is flap retraction. After the descent has been stopped, the landing flaps are partially retracted or placed in the takeoff position as recommended ... manufacturer. Depending on the airplane’s altitude and airspeed, it is wise to retract the flaps intermittently in small increments to allow time for the airplane to accelerate progressively as they are being raised. A sudden and complete retraction…

  Chapter 12: Transition to Complex Airplanes › Retractable Landing Gear › Takeoff and Climb

  Takeoff and Climb Normally, the landing gear is retracted after lift-off when the airplane has reached an altitude where, in the event of an engine failure or other emergency requiring an aborted takeoff, the airplane could no longer ... apply to all situations. Preplan landing gear retraction taking into account the following: ⦁ Length of the runway ⦁ Climb gradient ⦁ Obstacle clearance requirements ⦁ The characteristics of the terrain beyond the departure end of the runway ⦁ The climb characteristics of the particular…

  Chapter 13: Transition to Multiengine Airplanes › Normal and Crosswind Takeoff and Climb

  Most airliners and most turbine-powered airplanes climb out at an attitude that yields best rate of climb (VY) usually utilizing a flight management system (FMS). When to raise the landing gear after takeoff depends on several factors. Normally ... gear should be retracted when there is insufficient runway available for landing and after a positive rate of climb is established as indicated on the altimeter. If an excessive amount of runway is available, it would not be prudent…

  important link in a successful LSA transition. A transitioning pilot should choose a flight instructor that has verifiable experience in LSA instruction. The Sport Pilot rule allows for a Sport Pilot flight instructor certificate, the flight instructorS. 14 CFR part ... section 61.413 limits a flight instructor-S to instruction in LSAs—a flight instructor-S cannot give instruction in a non-LSA airplane (e.g., a Cessna 150). While FAA policy allows a flight instructor certificated as a flight instructor…

  around is made, the throttles should be advanced to takeoff power and pitch adjusted to arrest the sink rate. With adequate airspeed, the airplane should be placed in a climb pitch attitude. These actions, which are accomplished sequentially, arrest ... sink rate and place the airplane in the proper attitude for transition to a climb. The initial target airspeed is VY or VX if obstructions are present. With sufficient airspeed, the flaps should be retracted from full to an intermediate…

  Chapter 3: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Climbs and Climbing Turns › Establishing a Climb

  Establishing a Climb A straight climb is entered by gently increasing back pressure on the elevator flight control to the pitch attitude referencing the airplane’s nose to the natural horizon while simultaneously increasing engine power to the climb power ... setting. The wingtips should be referenced in maintaining the climb attitude while cross-checking the flight instruments to verify performance. In many airplanes, as power is increased, an increase in slipstream over the horizontal stabilizer causes the airplane’s pitch…
