Climb
Normal climbs are performed flaps UP (0%) and full power at speeds 5 to
10 knots higher than best rate-of-climb speeds. These higher speeds give the
best combination of performance, visibility and engine cooling.
For maximum rate of climb, use the best rate-of-climb speeds shown in the
rate-of-climb chart in Section 5. If an obstruction dictates the use of a steep
climb angle, the best angle-of-climb speed should be used. Climbs at speeds
lower than the best rate-of-climb speed should be of short duration to avoid
engine-cooling problems.
