Flight Instruction and Recurrent Training

[LostKiwi]

I hope you or other members can help with these speeds/power settings and a "go around with both engine operating".

this is paraphrased from my flight manual:

BALKED LANDING
Power - Punch it, Chewy!
Wing Flaps - up to 1/3rd
Airspeed - 90 MPH
Wing Flaps - bring 'em up slow
Cowl Flaps - Open



The AFM doesn't give you specific power/RPM settings for flying a traffic pattern.

I might be wrong, but I don't think any aircraft does.
It's always going to be different depending on weight, DA, wind, etc etc etc etc.

Leighton. Thanks for your reply. I understand the speed and power settings will be different for DA, temp, weight etc, etc. Since I'm only now starting to learn the Skymaster I'd like some BASE-LINE settings. When I went from piston helicopter back to fixed wing (airplanes) my Civil Air Patrol CFI had given me some target speeds/power settings, which was helpful.
Thanks again, BILLS

Hi Bill,

Here's the numbers from my type training ...

TAKEOFF
maximum power 2800 rpm
fuel > 100 pph
rotate 70 kias
accelerate in ground effect
climb at 90 kias
200 AGL flaps up
400 AGL gear up, set climb power

AFTER TAKEOFF CLIMB
2600 rpm
26"
90 pph
100 kias

ENROUTE CLIMB
2600 rpm
26"
90 pph
120 kias

CRUISE
2400 rpm, 23"
or
2200 rpm, 20"

DESCENT
mixture rich
2100 rpm
19"

DOWNWIND
mixture rich
2100 rpm
19"
120 kias
flaps 1
gear down

BASE
props full forward
flaps 1 or 2 as desired
100 kias
power as required

FINAL (runway assured)
flaps 3
75 kias

2 ENGINE GO AROUND
maximum power
propellers full forward
flaps up
airspeed 90 kias
gear up at 400 ft AGL
cowl flaps open

1 ENGINE GO AROUND
maximum power
propellers full forward
flaps up
airspeed 90 kias
gear up at 400 ft AGL
cowl flaps open on the operating engine only

You might consider taking the Cessna Pilot's C337 Systems and Procedures course. I've heard good things about it.

Mich 3373.
This is what I was looking for! MANY THANKS! I'll have to do some conversions on fuel flow/airspeed (My Skymaster uses GPH and MPH) other than that EVERYTHING LOOKS GREAT! As for the Skymaster Association's Systems and Procedures course, I have the manual they give attendees BUT I haven't been.
Thanks again.

owned my T337C for about 10 years now...but I'd try to go to that course if offered....was thinking the guy who used to teach it retired. But if someone wants to get it on the calendar, I'll try to come as well.
Anyone else?

[cessnadriver]

Mich 3373. Can you tell me what "PPH"(for fuel flow) means?
Thanks, BILLS

Pounds Per Hour.

Divide by 6 to get Gallons.

If that course becomes re-reality, I’ll be there - where ever it is?
