. For aircraft without a rudder trim a constant application of the rudder is<br />
required to maintain heading and balance.<br />
c. Due to the high power setting and low IAS the possibility of overheating<br />
the engine increases relative to the duration of the climb. Constant<br />
attention to engine temperatures, oil pressures and fuel-mixture<br />
becomes an important consideration.<br />
iii. Levelling off at a predetermined attitude.<br />
a. Anticipation for levelling off from the climb is calculated at one tenth of<br />
the rate of climb.<br />
b. Follow the correct procedure of change, check, hold, trim, adjust, check,<br />
hold and trim.<br />
c. Allow the speed to build up to the cruising speed before throttling back to<br />
cruise power.<br />
iv. The effect of power on the climb.<br />
a. The aim of this exercise is to familiarise the student with the feel of the<br />
aircraft at reduced power and to develop the required anticipation and<br />
correct procedure to cope with such a situation.<br />
b. Always maintain the required speed regardless of rate of climb, and<br />
beware of stalling the aircraft.<br />
v. The effect of flaps on the climb.<br />
a. During Exercise 4 the primary and further effect of flap was<br />
demonstrated to indicate the need to anticipate and correct for the<br />
resultant pitch changes.<br />
b. During the climb the necessity to maintain the correct speed results in<br />
changes in nose attitude and rate of climb.<br />
vi. Best rate of climb.<br />
a. This nose attitude will always be referred to as the climb attitude and<br />
must be memorized for further reference.<br />
vii. Best angle of climb.<br />
a. Used for obstacle clearance, therefore emphasis on correct speed,<br />
configuration and nose attitude is vital.<br />
viii. Effect of altitude / temperature.<br />
2. Discuss the common faults students usually make:<br />
i. When initiating the climb most students tend to be in too much of a hurry in not<br />
allowing the speed to settle down before adjusting the nose attitude. This<br />
results in ‘chasing’ the speed and numerous attitude changes before the<br />
correct climb attitude and speed is attained.<br />
ii. Emphasise the importance of attitude flying with an instrument check for speed<br />
only after the aircraft is stabilised in the climb. Some students tend to pay too<br />
much attention to the instrument.<br />
iii. A common fault is for student to be in too much of a hurry to trim the aircraft.<br />
Follow the correct procedure before trimming; Change, check, hold, adjust,<br />
trim, check, hold and then trim.<br />
iv. During the climb a constant rudder application is required (no rudder trim) to<br />
maintain the heading. Most students tend to forget this, and tend to fly with<br />
one wing low in an effort to remain on heading.<br />
v. Good lookout and a constant check on engine instruments are vital during the<br />
climb. Many students seem to have a constant scan but ‘see’ nothing. The<br />
instructor must make a point of asking what certain instrument readings are,<br />
after the student has completed his panel scan.<br />
