SECTION 8 AFM “MANEUVER PROFILES” Flashcards
MANEUVER PROFILES
A maneuver is a sequence of flight actions, often accomplished nearly simultaneously or in quick succession, to achieve a particular airplane configuration. There is no checklist for these actions.
The profile illustration represents the recommended basic configuration during the accomplishment of a maneuver and provides a basis for standardization and pilot coordination.
NORMAL TAKEOFF
“This maneuver is used for all normal takeoffs regardless of whether subsequent flight is in VMC or IMC”
ACTIONS:
Holding Short or Before Entering the Runway:
▪ [PF/PM] Verify that the final approach path is clear.
▪ [PF/PM] Verify that you are on the correct runway using signage and/or runway markings.
*Takeoff: *
▪ [PF] Use minimum braking, continue rolling and align the airplane with the runway centerline while advancing the throttle to full power to commence the takeoff roll.
▪ [PF] Confirm proper foot position on the rudder pedals – toes are off the brakes
▪ [PM] Ensure airspeed indicator is showing an increase in airspeed.
▪ [PF/PM] Monitor flight and engine instruments and, at 30 knots, confirm that the engine is delivering takeoff power and acceleration is normal.
▪ [PF] At 60 knots (MGTOW), rotate to initial target pitch attitude, then adjust pitch attitude to maintain normal best rate of climb speed of 76 knots. For lesser weights, use the speeds in the takeoff speeds table.
*At 200 feet Above Field Elevation *
▪ [PF] Reduce pitch attitude as required to maintain the normal departure climb speed of 76 knots while slowly retracting the flaps to UP.
*At 1000 feet Above Field Elevation *
▪ [PF] Accomplish the After-Takeoff Checklist.
▪ [PF] Accomplish any Non-Normal Checklist (if required).
▪ [PF] Accelerate to an enroute climb speed of 85 knots to improve engine cooling.
At or Above 4,000 feet Density Altitude
▪ [PF] Lean the mixture for best power and smooth running during climb if the density altitude exceeds 4000 feet.
▪ [PF] A short delay on the runway may be requested from ATC to set the mixture to rich of peak EGT at 2000 RPM.
▪ [PM] Monitor engine temperatures, if temperatures approach the upper green range, the pilot will enrich the mixture and increase airspeed as necessary to maintain temperatures in the green range.
