⚠️ WARNING: Attempting to take off with low oil temperature will often lead to a bad time. On cold missions it is important to wait for the oil to reach the required temperature.

Takeoff

Taxi by pulling your stick aft to lock the tailwheel and steer the aircraft with the brakes. Taxiing can be made easier if the cockpit is open as you can lean out of the aircraft with head tracking/VR.

Line up on the runway, and move forward slightly to ensure the tailwheel is straight.

Keep your stick aft to ensure wind doesn't affect the tailwheel position.

Continue holding wheel brakes.

Throttle

2000 RPM

Release wheel brakes.

Throttle

2700 RPM

Use rudder to adjust aircraft heading down runway, not brakes.

At 170-180km/h, center the stick. This causes the tailwheel to rise. Make sure not to push forwards or the propeller will strike the ground.

Rotate at 200km/h.

Raise gear and flaps by 250km/h by pressing the IN buttons on both.

Within 3 minutes of takeoff, reduce power to 2400 RPM (1.4 ATA Manifold Pressure) and begin climbing as needed.

Takeoff

Optimal climb is 280-290km/h with a power of 2700 RPM.

Landing

Line up with runway and deploy flaps (OUT/AUS) and gear when below 250 knots.

Approach at a speed of 220km/h, and a descent raite of between 2.5 and 5m/s

Touchdown at a speed of 160-180km/h with IDLE throttle.

Use the rudder to stay on the runway center line, and once below 100km/h, pull back on the stick to lock the tailwheel.

When the rudder steering begins to become ineffective, gently tap the brakes to slow to a stop.
