Hello Pete, What I get from the report is - the pilot had a habit of steep
climbs
after take-off and the plane had 6.5 liters of fuel in the main tank. C of
G was in the middle 60.25" The plane was near sea level temps of +1C. Winds
15 to 23 kt. on the nose. It would have been a brisk performer on this day but
with so little fuel would it have kept running at a steep angle of climb? I
always believed in the long run our bad habits will bite us. I think overly
steep climbs are a bad habit unless required for obstacle clearance. The trim
is the only thing wrong they could find but then he always took off with three
lines of nose down.
I will be careful on climb out myself, and make sure the airplane is configured
for takeoff.
