Sample take off lesson
| Normal Take off A normal take off is any take off that is made into the wind and there are no immediate obstructions after the runway. The runway is also paved. |
2. One final check of the wind or any possible dangers. Turn on fuel pump. Select the flaps and turn on lights and strobes if needed. 3. Smoothly and firmly apply the throttle 4. Keep the plane straight by using the rudder pedals.As the plane speeds up, you will need less control inputs. 5. As you are going down the runway, final check that the airspeed indicator is working and the engine gauges are all within limits 6. Rotate the aircraft at rotation speed. This is done by smoothly pulling back on the stick 7. After the airplane becomes airborne you may have to release a small amount of stick pressure to let the airplane build speed nd stop the plane pitching up excesively 8. After a safe altitude retract the flaps in stages and adjust the power and speed to take off settings 9. Trim of all the stick pressure and turn off fuel pump |
| This lesson has been simplified just so people know the basic idea.. A complete lesson looks at take off charts, engine checks and airplane systems and speeds for the airplane which is used in the lesson. |
| Watch to see how it's done |
