Reminder that this aircraft's 'vY' (Best Rate of Climb Speed) is 104 KIAS at sea level. Use this speed to climb after takeoff in normal operations.Shortly after takeoff
Advice that in "cruise climb" in this aircraft you should normally use 1600 to 1900 RPM.Shortly after takeoff
Advice that if you encounter heavy turbulence you need to be at or below manoeuvring speed ('vA') and to remember that this will decrease as you burn fuel.Shortly after takeoff

Advice that once below 125 KIAS the pilot may start to lower full flaps.Descending shortly before landing
Reminder to turn off autopilot.Descent to around 600 feet AGL while landing
Advice to use pitch to control airspeed and power to control rate of descent during approach and landing.Descent to around 500 feet AGL while landing
Advice that you want to land with landings flaps (full flaps) at 80 knots IAS.Descent to around 400 feet AGL while landing
Reminder to flare at about 10 to 15 feet above the runway and to lift the nose to land on your maingear first, lower the nose wheel gently and use minimum braking required.
