C4004 Maneuvers

Basic Transitions

Normal/Fast Cruise to Climb
1. Power - Increase to 1015 ft-lbs
2. Attitude - Raise the nose placing the smokestacks on the horizon. Commence clearing turns as appropriate.
3. Trim - Right and Up for the climb
4. Approach 120 kts, lower the nose to the 120 kt climb out attitude (cowl seam on the horizon).
5. Retrim
6. Maintain 1015 ft-lbs as you climb by advancing PCL.

Climb to Normal/Fast Cruise
1. 200 ft prior to level off altitude, lower the nose toward the level flight attitude as the aircraft accelerates and climbs.
2. Trim Left and Down.
3. Approaching normal/fast cruise airspeed, execute PAT principle.

Normal/Fast Cruise to Enroute Descent
1. Execute PAT principle:
Power ..................... 300 ft-lbs
Attitude ................... Nose Down
Trim ........................ Left Rudder, Nose Up
2. Perform clearing turns/ICA if descending more than 1,000 ft.

Enroute Descent to Normal/Fast Cruise
1. 100 ft prior to level off altitude, execute PAT principle:
Power ..................... Cruise
Attitude ................... Level Flight
Trim ........................ Right Rudder, Nose Down

Turn Pattern

1. Cardinal heading (North, South, East, or West)
2. Configuration: 150 kias Clean (Normal cruise) TRIMMED
3. Checklist not required.
4. Clear the area using 1/3 rule.
   Clear 15° AOB, 30°   heading change, lead reversal by 5°
   Clear 30° AOB, 90°   heading change, lead reversal by 10° *slight power
   Clear 45° AOB, 180° heading change, lead reversal by 15° *power & fwd stick
5. Roll out on original cardinal heading and hold light forward stick pressure to prevent ballooning.
6. CHOP power - 600-650 ft-lbs, 150 kias (Normal cruise, horiz bisect).

Takeoff

1. Call tower for clearance
2. When crossing the hold short line, call for the line-up checklist
3. When aligned on the runway and cleared for takeoff, add power to 400 ft-lbs and check engine instruments. Report “Instruments checked” over the ICS.
4. Select a reference point. Position the stick in neutral. Release the brakes. Maintain directional control using rudder pressure. Advance PCL to maximum allowable within three seconds.
5. At approximately 70 - 80 kts, smoothly apply back stick pressure and position the nose to takeoff attitude (cowl seam on the horizon). Maintain this attitude and allow the aircraft to fly itself off the deck at 80 - 85 kts.
6. When a safe landing can no longer be made on the runway, check fuel caps for streaming fuel, report “Fuel caps secure,” raise the landing gear and report “Three up and locked.”
7. Set the 120 kt climbing attitude (cowl seam on the horizon). Climb out in accordance with course rules. Retrim as necessary.
8. Perform cruise checklist.
9. Call Departure.

   a. On downwind
   b. At least 15° behind your wingtip
3. The aircraft ahead is:
   a. Departing in accordance with course rules

4. At a tower controlled field:
   a. All the above conditions are met
