What is the appropriate climb airspeed utilized when executing the FTI Precautionary Emergency Landing (PEL) from the pattern procedures?

The appropriate climb airspeed of 125 KIAS during a Precautionary Emergency Landing (PEL) from the pattern is critical for maintaining optimal performance of the aircraft during an emergency. This airspeed allows the T-6B to achieve the best combination of climb rate and engine performance while ensuring adequate control authority.

At 125 KIAS, the aircraft is positioned to respond effectively to any potential changes in altitude or direction needed during the emergency situation. This speed minimizes the risk of stall and enhances overall handling characteristics, which are essential when executing procedural moves in a high-stress environment.

Other speeds, while they may seem reasonable, do not provide the same balance of control and performance. Adhering to the recommended parameters set forth in training materials ensures pilots can safely manage emergency scenarios while maximizing their chances for a successful outcome.
