       FINAL PREPARATION FOR TAKE-OFF - DRILL OF VITAL,ACTIONS

   7.      Drill is "T.M.P., Fuel, Flaps and Radiator".

           T - Trimming Tabs		-   Elevator about one division
                                            nose down from neutral.
                                            Rudder fully to starboard.

           M - Mixture control		-   RICH

           P - Pitch			-   Airscrew speed control fully
                                            forward.

           Fuel				-   Both cock levers ON and check
                                            contents of lower tank.

                                  TAKE-OFF

   8.  (i) Open the throttle slowly to the gate (RATED BOOST
           position).  Any tendency to swing can be counteracted
           by coarse use of the rudder.  If taking off from a
           small aerodrome with a full load, max. boost may be
           obtained by opening the throttle through the gate to
           the TAKE-OFF BOOST position.
             
      (ii) After raising the undercarriage, see that the red
           indicator light - UP - comes on (it may be necessary
           to hold the lever hard forward against the quadrant
           until the indicator light comes on).

     (iii) Do not start to climb before a speed of 140 m.p.h.
           A.S.I.R. is attained.

   9.      Up to 15,000 feet the maximum rate of climb is obtained
           at 160 m.p.h. A.S.I.R. but for normal climbing the
           following speeds are recommended:-
             
           Ground level to 13,000 feet	185 m.p.h. A.S.I.R.
