Takeoff Briefing
Sample Takeoff Briefing:
This will be a normal takeoff from runway 25. The takeoff distance is approximately 3,900 feet with 4,956 feet of runway available.
After takeoff, initial departure is left crosswind, climbing to 5,500 feet.
Prior to rotation, I will abort the takeoff for any abnormalities.
If the engine fails after rotation, my CAPS strategy is to land straight ahead prior to reaching 670 feet (600’ AGL) indicated altitude . From 670 feet (600’ AGL) to 2,070 feet (2,000’ AGL) I will pull CAPS immediately.
Normal Takeoff
- Heels to the floor
- Smoothly advance full throttle in 3 seconds
- check fuel flow is at approx 20
- Rotate at 71-75 KIAS
- Positive Rate
- Flaps up at 85 KIAS
Enroute Climb Flow
Sort of looks like a G as in Gaining altitude when you’re climbing. A climb is a Gain in altitude
Cruise Flow
Triangle then Up
Descent Flow
To descend is to Climb down. Climb is with a “C” - Looks like a C/C
Before Landing Flow
Backward L starting from bottom. “L” like Landing
