Power and Speed Settings

Some simple facts to remember in order to achieve straight and level flight, climbs and descents.

Straight and Level flight = 2900 RPM, 95 KNTS and Trim
Climbing = Full Power, 75 KNTS and Trim
Descending = Carb Heat On, 1800 RPM , 70 to 75 KNTS and Trim

Remember

ASPT = Straight and Level from Take Off
PAST = Take Of
PAST = Climbing
PAST = Descent

(P)ower, (A)ttitude, (S)peed and (T)rim

and

Power Changes require Rudder Control (keep the ball in the middle)
Full Power requires right rudder as left yawing will take place
Close Power required left rudder as right yawing will take place.
