CLIMB CHECKLIST
Accomplish at 1000’AGL
(Not required if remaining in the traffic pattern.)
1. FLAPS ........................................................................................ UP (0º)
2. GEAR SELECTOR ........................................................ UP/NO LIGHTS
3. ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP ................................................................ OFF
4. CLIMB POWER ............................................................................... SET
5. MIXTURE CONTROL .................................................... AS REQUIRED
6. CLIMB CHECKLIST ........................................................... COMPLETE
1. FLAPS UP (0º)
Verify that the FLAPS are in the UP (0º) position for optimum climb
performance.
2. GEAR SELECTOR UP/NO LIGHTS
Verify that the GEAR SELECTOR is in the UP position and that NO
LIGHTS (3 green landing gear indicator/1 red Gear Warn lights) are
illuminated.
NOTE
The “check landing gear” aural warning may be heard if the
airplane remains below 200’ AGL more than 45 seconds after
takeoff off with the landing gear retracted.
3. ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP OFF
No lower than 1000’ AFE, depress the ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP switch to
the OFF position. Check the fuel pressure. A slight decrease in fuel
pressure may be observed.
4. CLIMB POWER SET
Verify that CLIMB POWER is SET (throttle and propeller control in the full
forward position).
5. MIXTURE CONTROL AS REQUIRED
The mixture should be full rich during climb below 3000’ pressure altitude.
If continuing the climb above 3000’ pressure altitude, the mixture should be
leaned as needed for increased power or to provide smoother engine
operation. See page 17 for additional leaning procedures.
