- Chapter 7, Section II: Airplane Basic Flight Maneuvers › Straight Climbs and Descents › Constant Airspeed Climb From Cruise Airspeed
Climbs and Descents Each aircraft has a specific pitch attitude and airspeed that corresponds to the most efficient climb rate for a specified weight. The POH/AFM contains the speeds that produce the desired climb. These numbers ... speeds vary with weight so they can compensate during flight. Entry Constant Airspeed Climb From Cruise Airspeed To enter a constant airspeed climb from cruise airspeed, slowly and smoothly apply aft elevator pressure in order to raise…

At any given airspeed, a specific power setting determines whether the helicopter is in level flight, in a climb, or in a descent. For example, cruising airspeed maintained with…
