PART IV-HANDLING
HANDLING IN FLIGHT
64. Climbing
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Page 50 (a) Climb within the j.p.t. limitations at the max. permitted r.p.m.
Para 64 up to 25,000 ft. and at 10,350 r.p.m. thereafter. With or
(a) without drop tanks fitted climb at 250 knots until 0.60 M is
A.L.3 reached, then maintain 0.6 M for the remainder of the climb.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
(b) If maximum rate of climb is not essential climb at 10,250
r.p.m. using the same airspeeds.
(c) During the climb the r.p.m. will increase slowly, and it
is necessary to reduce power to avoid exceeding the
climbing r.p.m. It may also be necessary to reduce r.p.m.
in order not to exceed the maximum permissible j.p.t.
65. General flying
(a) At all loads the aircraft is pleasant to fly. The ailerons
are light and remain effective down to the stall. The
elevator is light but comes more sensitive at high speed
and should be used with care. Up to 25,000 ft. the
aircraft is easy to trim, but above this height the trimmer
is less effective. The airbrakes are moderately effective
and produce a general airframe buffet at all speeds.
(b) Changes of trim
Undercarriage UP or No change.
DOWN
Flaps DOWN Marked nose-up.
Flaps UP Nose-down.
Airbrakes out Nose-up.
Airbrakes in Nose-down.
The nose-up change of trim on selecting airbrakes out
becomes more pronounced with increase of speed. When
wing drop tanks or 1,000 lb. bombs are carried the change
of trim in very pronounced.
66. Flying at reduced speed
Reduce speed to approximately 140 knots. Flaps may
be lowered 30° if desired. The D.V. panels can be opened
up to a recommended maximum speed of 240 knots.
