Throttle or Prop control first after takeoff
We are having a argument about what is better to do after takeoff. Some mechanics say pull power back first after takeoff and then adjust prop speed after, my mechanic says prop speed back first and then manifold pressure after that.
What the "right" thing to do that will not damage the prop governor and motor??? You opinion is greatly appreciated.. PS: this is in reference to my 1965 210. thanks rg |

However, the rule of thumb most of us fly under is that when reducing power you work left to right (throttle, then prop, then mixture). When increasing power you work the other way (mixture, prop, then throttle). This sequence ensures you don't lug the engine. If your airframe POH or engine manual says otherwise, go for it. -Robert, CFII |

I don't because I personally don't believe in touching power below 1000 feet. However, a lot of aircraft require a power reduction for sustained climb or noise. For instance in the C-182T you pull power and fuel flow back to the top of the green, etc. However, I still don't touch anything below 1000 feet, even coming out of SMO in my Mooney (where the noise nazi's live) -Robert |

The Seneca II take off is 40in MP and full RPM for takeoff.
"Stabilized in the climb".. you pick when you think that is time to do that. Reduce to "Climb Power" 30in MP and 2500RPM. Cruise Power "as required" normally between 28-30in MP 2300-2400RPM and about 13gph per side. Some one already mentioned the take off procedure for the C-182T (Turbo). Reduce the MP and the Fuel Flow to the Top of the Green. Arrow, 25square works, MP first then Prop. The thing about "older" POH, like your 1965 C-210.. they were not that explict. Dependent on the engine, some say keep RPM higher than MP, some don't. "cyberflyrg" wrote in message ... We are having a argument about what is better to do after takeoff.

the prop :-) Yeah, there's nothing in my '48 Ercoupe's POH (er, "pamphlet") about that, either. Nuthin' about flaps or rudders, either! :-) The Pathfinder we always work left-to-right, as someone else stated.
