Climb Out
SETTING CLIMB THRUST
Select proper EPR setting from climb chart using altitude and TAT. Set throttles to EPR setting when a stabilized climb is established. Check indicated EPR against Climb Thrust Setting Chart during climb.

ANTI-ICING
Use engine anti-ice in flight when icing conditions are anticipated or encountered. Icing exist in flight when temperature is between +10C TAT and -40C SAT and visible moisture is present. Turn continuous ignition ON before activating the engine or wing anti-ice systems. Turn on engine anti-ice switches one at a time. Allow each engine to stabilize before turning on the next switch. Turn on wing anti-ice when required. Wing anti-ice should be used for anti-icing rather than de-icing. Do not turn on wing anti-ice until reaching 800 feet above the fild.
Turn wing and engine anti-ice off when TAT is above +10C.
ALTIMETER SETTING
Set both pilots' altimeter, the cabin altimeter, and cabin baro window as follows:
UNITED STATES, CANADA, PUERTO RICO, THE VIRGIN ISLANDS, AND GUAM
Change from local altimeter setting (QNH) to standard, 29.92 in.Hg., when climbing through 17.500 feet MSL.
MEXICO
Change from local altimeter setting (QNH) to standard (QNE) when climbing through 18.500 feet MSL.
ALL OTHER LOCATIONS
Change from local altimeter setting (QNH) to standard, 1013 hectopascals/millibars, upon leaving the transition altitude.
STROBE LIGHTS
Strobe lights may be turned off during daylight hours when above FL180.
AIR CONDITION
As soon as flight conditions permit after takeoff, start closing pack cooling doors to conform with the following schedule in climb or cruise:
At or below 10.000 feet
110C
10.000 to 15.000 feet
110C decreasing to 85C
15.000 to 30.000
85C decreasing to 45C
Above 30.000 feet
45C maximum
Cooling Door Operation
10.000 ft = 1/2 closed
18.000 ft = 3/4 closed
CRUISE = fully closed
