3.2.2. Departure
As we start the takeoff roll, we note the airspeed on the airspeed comes “alive” at 20 KIAS.
All indications are normal, so we continue the takeoff, rotate at 80 KIAS. As we run out of
usable runway to land, we bring the gear up, and soon we’re over the end of the
13,800 ft. runway.
We engage HDG mode on the autopilot mode selector, and turn to our assigned 250º
heading, which we have already set with the Heading Bug. Through 1,000 feet AGL, we
power back and adjust the pitch attitude to maintain our target 120 KIAS climb speed,
as shown by the Airspeed Bug on the airspeed tape.
We begin to shallow our climb, and level off at 7,000 feet, engaging ALT hold on the AP
mode selector (
Figure 3-17
).
While on the 250º vector, we pass abeam the ABQ VOR. We also notice that the GPS
then sequences to the next flight plan waypoint, the ZUN VOR.. The Course Pointer
automatically swings left to the new course, 255º.
Albuquerque Departure now tells us to fly heading 220º, and climb and maintain
10,000. Departure also calls out slower traffic at our 10 o’clock, seven miles, west-bound
at 8,000, and asks us to expedite our climb through 8,000.
1. Rotate the Right Knob and turn it left to set the Heading Bug to 220º.
2. Press the Right Knob twice to activate ALT, and turn it right to set 10,000 in
the Selected Altitude field at the top of the Altitude Tape.
