1. After takeoff reduce the throttle and rpm settings to 35" Hg. (33" Hg, for Grade 91) and 2500 rpm. Climb straight ahead at 150 mph IAS until you reach at least 300 feet altitude. 2. Adjust trim tabs so that there is little pressure on the controls. 3. Make your turn out of traffic and continue climbing at 150 to 160 mph IAS to the desired altitude. 4. S constantly while climbing. Keep a sharp lookout for other aircraft. 5. Check functioning of engine instruments frequently. If there is anything wrong, return to the field and land. 6. Coolant and oil temperatures generally run higher than normal while climbing. If either temperature persists in running abnormally high, level off until it drops.

7. When the desired altitude is reached, level off, and reduce throttle to 30" Hg. (28" Hg. for Grade 91) and approximately 2300 rpm for cruising. 8. Adjust coolant shutters and re-trim the airplane so that it flies straight ahead with your hands off the controls. 9. Keep checking instruments. Engine instruments and fuel gages should be checked at least once every 5 minutes.
