• Flaps:
    • Lower flaps if positive rate of climb and safe to do so (not needed for me)
    • Airspeed is safe
  • Engine:
    • Monitoring engine parameters such as oil pressure, oil temperature, RPM, and any abnormal indications or sounds.
    • Ts & Ps in the green
  • Lights:
    • Ensuring navigation lights, strobe lights (if equipped), and landing lights (if necessary) are on and functioning properly.
    • Turn off landing light
  • Trim:
    • Give the aircraft time to settle then trim
  • Speed:
    • Ensure speed is optimum for climb speed (65kts)
