For t a k e o f f , climb and a t low levels AMSL f u l l y rich should always be selected and locked. I n the cruise i t may be weakened t o reduce fuel pressure t o t h e value derived from t h e performance graph a t Section 5. Weakening beyond t h i s point will cause rough running and may lead t o RPM surging as the constant speed unit attempts t o maintain RPM under conditions of fluctuating power. This fuel pressure s e t t i n g gives the mixture which i s the most e f f i c i e n t f o r that p a r t i c u l a r RPM, temperature, speed and a l t i t u d e and will need r e s e t t i n g i f any of these conditions change. The mixture should always be s e t f u l l y rich before changing a n y t h r o t t l e s e t t i n g or commencing any climb o r descent.. The engine should normally be stopped on t h e ground by s e t t i n g t h e mixture t o cutoff so t h a t fuel i s n o t i e f t in the cylinders a f t e r t h e engine has stopped; t h i s stops lubricating o i l being washed from t h e cylinder walls and minimises the chance of the engine f i r i n g i f the propeller i s turned.

A probe placed i n t o the exhaust pipe operates the gauge without need for any additional power supply. During f l i g h t i n c r u i s e conditions, a t power s e t t i n g s of not above 75%, the mixture can be leaned until the needle of t h e EGT gauge j u s t peaks.

The Nosewheel . -
The nosevineel incorporates an oleo..pneumati c shock absor.ber s t r u t . A hole i n the t o p of each s i d e of the nose~iheel fork allows connection of a ground handling arm. See 6.5.5 f o r d e t a i l s of the nosewheel steering. Correct oleo-pressures must give a leg extension of about 3 inches as the combi nati on of low oleo-pressure and rough groiind could cause the propeller, t i p s t o s t r i k e the ground. Thus care must be taken when taxying over uneven ground or when braking hard and t h e control column must be kept in a position t h a t does not tend t o force t h e nose down.

There i s no stowage f o r the control lock, which must be removed from the a i r c r a f t before f l i g h t . Depending upon t h e l i k e l y wind conditions and t h e direction in which t h e a i r c r a f t i s parked, the controls may be locked with t h e elevators in the u p position by using the right-hand p i l o t s buckle s t r a p and l a p s t r a p , passing them around the left-hand control column and taking u p t h e slack.

The control lever (Item 3 Fig. 8.5) i s positioned on the centre console and can be locked i n any of t h e 3 flap positions; when the lock i s f u l l y engaged, a dark coloured spring-.loaded button in the end of the control lever protrudes f a r enough t o show a white ring a t the base of the button. To move t h e f l a p from one selection t o another, the button must f i r s t be pressed in t o disengage t h e lock; t h e lever i s then f r e e t o move. As t h e f l a p s approach the required position, the button should be released so t h a t i t i s f r e e t o engage the lock a t the new position. On the ground, the spring balance tends t o pull the flaps down and t h i s makes i t d i f f i c u l t t o disengage t h e lock; t o achieve t h i s i t i s necessary t o push the f l a p lever in t h e UP direction t o balance the spring pressure before attempting t o press the button i n .

HANDLING I FLIGHT N
7.2.1 Takeoff
After t e s t i n g the engine, which should be done on every f l i g h t and -- not just on the f i r s t f l i g h t of each day, carry out the takeoff checks from the FRCs. Takeoff performances are given in Section 5. Line the a i r c r a f t u p on the takeoff path, release the brakes and open the t h r o t t l e f u l l y in about 2 seconds. Check that the RPM i s between 2600 RPM and 2650 RPM and that the oil pressure, o i l temperature and cylinder head temperature are not red. There i s l i t t l e tendency for the a i r c r a f t t o swing f o r reasons of torque or slipstream e f f e c t s as the a i r c r a f t has been designed t o minimise these c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s . The nosewheel should be l i f t e d just c l e a r of the ground as soon as t h e elevator becomes e f f e c t i v e , a t approximate1 y 30 kts, keeping the nosewheel j u s t c l e a r of the ground by progressive easing forward of the control column as the speed increases The a i r c r a f t can be flown off a t 50 kts (Pre mod 358) 55 kts (Post mod 358) with takeoff f l a p or 53 kts (Pre mod 358) 64 kts (Post mod 358) f l a p l e s s .
7.2.2 Crosswind Takeoff
>
If the wind i s approaching the crosswind l i m i t of 25 k t s , t h e nosewheel should not be raised until the takeoff speed when the a i r c r a f t should be rotated cleanly t o the climbing a l t i t u d e . Any tendency f o r the upwind wing t o l i f t during a crosswind takeoff should be corrected by the use of ailerons.
7.2.3 Climb
<
I n i t i a l l y climb a t a shallow angle, allowing the speed t o increase t o A t 200 f t , apply the brakes momentarily t o stop any vibration from the rotating mainwheels and r a i s e the flaps in stages, increasing t o the appropriate speeds, until the flaps a r e up. There i s l i t t l e sink or trim change whilst the flaps are raised unless the a i r c r a f t i s significantly below the correct speed. Climb a t 80 kts a t full t h r o t t l e , checking t h a t the RPM i s approximately 2650 - 2700 RPM. The a i r c r a f t will i n i t i a l l y climb a t approximately 1100 ft/min, a t sea level ISA conditions and
80 kts clean, 75 kts with takeoff f l a p
MTWA
The mixture should be l e f t a t f u l l y rich a t a l l power s e t t i n g s above 75% unless t h i s r e s u l t s in rough running; in t h i s case progressively weaken the mixture and observe the manifold pressure. As the mixture i s weakened, the manifold pressure will stay steady b u t then s t a r t decreasing. Some uneven engine running may also be apparent a t t h i s point, richen the mixture again until smooth running i s regained and the manifold pressure returns t o the original figure; leave t h e mixture a t t h i s s e t t i n g . I t i s unlikely that any mixture adjustments will be needed below 5000 f t amsl in the climb.. I t should be remembered t h a t t h i s mixture s e t t i n g i s appropriate f o r only one combination of manifold pressure, a l t i t u d e and engine RPM, and a change in any of these factors will result in the need t o reset t h e mixture.

The mixture should always be s e t t o f u l l y rich before descending as the weaker mixtures applicable t o f l i g h t a t a l t i t u d e are too weak f o r correct engine operation a t lower levels; thus the engine may not respond correctly t o t h r o t t l e opening a t the bottom of the descent i f weak mixture i s s t i l l selected,.
7.2.4 General Flyinq
Introduction The limitations and centre ot gravlty requlrements should always be checked before any f l i g h t t o ensure t h a t the a i r c r a f t parameters r i l l be complied with. Fl yinq Controls The flying controls are we1 1 -balanced and very l i t t l e rudder i s required with aileron application as the ailerons cause l i t t l e asymmetric drag, even a t f u l l aileron deflection.
Trimmer T h 2 elevator trimmer i s very powerful and care should be exercised i n i t s use. The out-of-trim forces require firm b u t manageable pressure i f the trimmer i s operated t o e i t h e r extreme within the speed range.. There are no rudder o r aileron trimmers available t o the pi l o t . The directional trim changes associated with power and speed a l t e r a t i o n s require the use of only small rudder, pedal movements t o maintain balanced f l i g h t . Power Mixture Chanqes Alterations in power s e t t i n g s cause pitch/yaw movements, t h e movements being proportional t o the power change. The propeller turns clockwise, the following pitchiyaw changes occurring w i t h power a l t e r a t i ons: Power Increase Pitch Yw a Nose Up Nose Left Power Decrease Nose Down Nose Right
The mixture control should invariably be s e t t o f u l l y rich before any change in power s e t t i n g i s made as the change may result in too weak a mixture and consequent rough running o r high cylinder head temperatures. Mixture adjustments in the cruise should be made using the same procedure a s outlined for the climb. The engine performance figures f o r climb, c r u i s e and endurance are given in Section 5 .
Flaps The maximum speed f o r operating the flaps i s 88 kts IAS f o r both f l a p positions Pre M d 656. Post Md 656 maximum speeds a r e 120 kts o o (IAS) takeoff position and 98 kts (IAS) landing position.. The flaps can be operated with l i t t l e e f f o r t in the a i r a t the normal c i r c u i t speeds, b u t more e f f o r t i s needed a t the upper speed l i m i t . Care must be taken t o ensure t h a t the flap lever i s locked in the selected position a f t e r operation. Should the flaps be l e f t unlocked they will tend t o move t o the down position a t low speed; t h i s may be s i g n i f i c a n t , p a r t i c u l a r l y during s t a l l i n g o r aerobatics when the changed f l i g h t characteristics and 1 imitations may r e s u l t in unexpected a i r c r a f t behaviour or overstressing. There i s l i t t l e trim change unless the flaps are operated a t the extreme of the speed limit..

Before joining t h e c i r c u i t or e n t e r i n g any landing procedure or approach p a t t e r n , t h e Rejoin Checks should be c a r r i e d o u t as l a i d out in the FRCs.
7.3.2
C i r c u i t Procedure
J o i n at 85 kts. Carry out t h e pre-landing checks i n the downwind position. To commence descent reduce the t h r o t t l e s e t t i n g t o achieve approximately 1500 RPM and lower takeoff f l a p . Allow t h e speed t o reduce and enter a descent a t 70 kts. (75 kts i f a f l a p l e s s c i r c u i t i s being carried out).. Maintain t h i s speed round t h e f i n a l turn u n t i l t h e wings are level on finals. L.ower landing f l a p as required and complete t h e f i n a l checks. Allow t h e speed t o decrease t o 65 kts with landing f l a p . The threshold speed of 60 kts with landing f l a p or 65 kts f l a p l e s s i s achieved by t h r o t t l i n g back smoothly as t h e round-out i s commenced. The power s e t t i n g required w i l l vary with the wind c o n d i t i o n s . 7.3.3 Landinqs
Normal With the round-out complete and t h e t h r o t t l e closed, adjus\t the a t t i t u d e t o keep the a i r c r a f t off t h e ground, allowing t h e m3in wheels t o touch down at 45 .- 50 k t s dependent on t h e AUN. Keep t h e nosewheel off the ground u n t i l the elevator becomes l e s s e f f e c t i v e then lower the nose gently a t approx 35 kts. Commence braking as necessary. Do not push t h e control column forward or the propeller t i p s could touch t h e ground. Keep s t r a i g h t with nosewheel s t e e r i n g and move t h e s t i c k progressively a f t as speed decreases. Glide Aftsr t h e end of t h e downwind leg t h e speeds t o be flown a r e 70 kts f l a p up, 70 k t s takeoff f l a p and 63 k t s landing f l a p f o r threshold speed 58 k t s . The f i n a l turn can be commenced in about t h e same position as f o r a normal c i r c u i t and the t h r o t t l e closed. The two s t a g e s of f l a p a r e used as required t o achieve t h e touchdown point.. The considerable drag of f u l l f l a p may be used t o dive off excess height up t o t h e l i m i t i n g speed of 88 kts.. A t h e g l i d e approach angle i s steeper than f o r a normal c i r c u i t i t s i s necessary t o ccinmence round-out s l i g h t l y higher but t h e landing i s the sane as f o r a normal approach. An actual forced landing would probably be made with the engine f a i l e d and windmilling which would r e s u l t i n a higher r a t e of descent than -with the engine i d l i n g ; thus a1 1 p r a c t i s e s should be done with the aim of touching down 1 / 3 way down t h e landing s t r i p so t h a t t h e r e i s a margin of s a f e t y t o allow for t h e increased r a t e of descent i n the real c a s e . Also i t i s usually l e s s hazardous t o run off t h e end of a landing s t r i p a t 19 k t s than t o f a l l s h o r t of t h e beginning a t 40 k t S ; t h u s i t i s erriilg c n the safe s i d e t o be s l i g h t l y high.
S h o r t Landinq F l y a normal approach u n t i l lowering f u l l f l a p . . Reduce t h e power s l i g h t l y and a l l o w the speed t o f a l l t o 58 k t s when power w i l l need t o be increased t o stop t h e speed f a l l i n g f u r t h e r . The round-out and l a n d i n g are t h e same as f o r a normal l a n d i n g except t h a t power should n o t be reduced u n t i l a f t e r t h e round-out has been commenced. -Once t h e mai nwheels a r e on t h e ground t h e nosewheel should be lowered immediately but g e n t l y . Braking may then commence w i t h t h e s t i c k being moved progressi v e l y a f t as speed decreases. As t h e approach speeds a r e s i g n i f i c a n t l y lower than f o r a normal c i r c u i t , t h e p i l o t must be ready t o counter any s i n k o r windshear e f f e c t w i t h immediate a p p l i c a t i o n of power. F l a p l e s s Landinq The a i r c r a f t has a very robust manual1 y operated f l a p system and thus f l a p f a i l u r e p r a c t i c e has l i t t l e relevance. F l a p l e s s approach may be p r a c t i s e d but, due t o t h e a i r c r a f t ' s e x c e l l e n t g l i d i n g performance, t h e approaches w i l l be very f l a t ; care must be taken t o a v o i d an overshoot. With more than 15 k t s headwind a n e a r l y normal g l i d e path angle can be flown a t about 1200 RPM but, w i t h l e s s headwind, p r o g r e s s i v e l y f l a t t e r approaches a r e r e q u i r e d . The speed should be held a t 75 k t s throughout t h e f i n a l t u r n and, once wings a r e l e v e l , i t should be allowed t o reduce t o be 70 k t s f o r a t h r e s h o l d speed o f 65 k t s . The round-out should be smooth and t h e a i r c r a f t should be landed on the mainwheels a t 53 k t s t o reduce t h e chance o f touching t h e t a i l bumper
