Cessna C172 Skyhawk SP Apparent Anomaly
A student of mine pointed out an apparent anomaly in the Cessna Flight Manual regarding Short Field Take-Off. It recommnends a climb airspeed of "56 KIAS (Until all obstacles are cleared)". Research gives a 'Best angle of climb' speed of 62 KIAS at sea level. Why the difference?
A second question involves the <Leaning of the Mixture for Ground Running> (Flight Manual 4 - 26). Some fellow instructors tell me this is no longer done at many flight schools. FIrst question here is: are they correct? If so, then what has been the change in thinking?
The Cessna Flight Manual to which I refer is dated 2007.
