Maintaining the Climb

Chapter 7.3

Objectives

To know the procedure to correct and maintain a given climb speed

To know how to recognize and correct the "Slip Stream Effect" during a climb

Stabilization of the climb at constant speed

adapting the climb speed by small attitude changes

Control of the symmetry during change of speed

For aircraft with a front engine, the SLIP STREAM EFFECT increases with increasing power and decreasing airspeed.

Questions

How do you correct airspeed in climb?

• Adjust the attitude
• Wait until the new speed has stabilized
• Apply small corrections in attitude.

Why is the "slip stream effect" stronger in climb than in cruise flight?

• Greater engine power in relation to a lower airspeed
