(2) The minimum takeoff field length must be the horizontal distance required ... more than the power selected for type certification as set forth in § 25.101 of this chapter. (3) The takeoff, flight, and landing procedures such as the approximate trim setting, method of power application, maximum power, and speed must be established…

pitch settings: low and high. Today, most adjustable-pitch propeller systems are capable of a range of pitch settings. A constant-speed propeller is a controllable-pitch propeller whose pitch is automatically varied in flight by a governor maintaining constant ... propellers because it allows selection of the most efficient engine rpm for the given conditions. An aircraft with a constant-speed propeller has two controls: the throttle and the propeller control. The throttle controls power output, and the propeller control…

whenever the crankshaft is rotating. Most standard certificated aircraft incorporate a dual ignition system with two individual magnetos, separate sets of wires, and spark plugs to increase reliability of the ignition system. Each magneto operates independently to fire ... mixture and results in a slightly higher power output. If one of the magnetos fails, the other is unaffected. The engine continues to operate normally, although a slight decrease in engine power can be expected. The same is true…

ensure the proper climb power setting is being maintained. If the climb attitude is correct for the power setting selected, the airspeed will stabilize at the desired speed. If the airspeed is low or high, make an appropriately small pitch ... level flight. The climb entry is then identical to entry from cruising airspeed, except that power must be increased simultaneously to the climb setting as the pitch attitude is increased. Climb entries on partial panel are more easily and accurately…

[Figure 7-31] Since the nose tends to rise as the airspeed increases, hold forward elevator pressure ... attitude for the airspeed selected. To level off from a descent at descent airspeed, lead the desired altitude by approximately 50 feet, simultaneously adjusting the pitch attitude to level flight and adding power to a setting that holds the airspeed…
