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:

Cooling Door Operation

10.000 ft = 1/2 closed

18.000 ft = 3/4 closed

CRUISE = fully closed

CLIMB SPEEDS

Climb to initial flight plan altitude maintaining speed schedule.
