In summary:<\/p>\n

– line up on the runway\/take-off area
\n– do not apply flap, keep the elevator neutral
\n– apply the brakes and increase throttle to full power
\n– when full power is reached and stabilised, release the brakes
\n– be ready to correct the\u00a0nose swing more than normal due to the full power
\n– as the airspeed goes through about 25 knots, smoothly pull on full flap and nudge the controls back a little to ‘unstick’ the aircraft
\n– fly level until the airspeed builds above 50 knots, then climb away as usual<\/p>\n

This technique is useful on short strips or take-off areas which are soft.<\/p>\n

CAUTION: be careful if the take-off area is covered with gravel or stones, as it is very likely the prop will be damaged if you apply full power when static on the ground. There is a slightly different technique for short field take-offs in these circumstances.<\/p>\n
