Aircraft with the ROTAX 912 UL S (100 hp) have a greater engine
torque which must be countered by a slight right rudder input.
The aircraft will take-off at 38 kn (70 km/h). Push the stick slightly
forward and increase airspeed to 59 kn (110 km/h) in shallow climb.
Continue to climb at 59 kn (110 km/h).
Retract flaps at a height of approx. 150 ft. This will cause a slight nose-
heavy moment.
After reaching the safe altitude the electrical fuel pump can be switched
off.
Trim the aircraft to 59 kn (110 km/h) and continue climbing. Slight right
rudder is necessary to compensate both engine and propeller torque
during climbing.
Whenever possible, take-off into the wind.
The maximum demonstrated crosswind component for take-off and landing
is 16 kn (30 km/h). No special procedures are required.
The starting direction must be ensured by "Provision upwind”.
During the initial take-off phase, it is essential that the aircraft accelerate
sufficiently in order to prevent stalling, should a sudden loss of power
be experienced.
By a loss of engine power at altitudes below 260 ft (80 m) do not attempt
course corrections of more than 90°.
Quickly trim the aircraft to a gliding speed of 54 kn (100 km/h) (push
stick forward).
Avoid obstructions.
Using the flaps touch down at a low speed. The approach phase can
be shortened by slipping. Before undertaking an emergency landing in
rough terrain, turn off the fuel valve and the ignition.
