The Badger Aviation 250EX is a four seat, single engine personal airplane. Its larger size makes it more comfortable than similar aircraft, featuring a separate passenger cabin and a small cargo compartment. The single engine design makes it a little slower, but more fuel efficient than similarly sized twin engine aircraft. It’s also very simple and robust and makes it ideal for flight training.

- Perform final checks.
- When cleared hold soft brake and throttle up to full power.
- Allow engine to reach maximum RPM then release all brakes.
- Once airspeed reaches 75-80 kts, begin to gently pitch up.
Climb:
- Once fully clear of runway area reduce throttle to 90%.
- Turn off taxi lights.
- Monitor instruments to ensure constant ascent and current altitude.
Cruise:
- Once at desired altitude reduce throttle to 80% and gently level off.
- Monitor instruments to maintain desired course and altitude.
- When making banked turns it may be necessary to increase throttle to 85-90% to maintain constant speed and altitude. Once level reduce throttle back to 80% to maintain level flight.
Descent:
- Reduce throttle to 75-78% and pitch down very gently.
- Monitor instruments to ensure controlled descent.
- Maintain speed around 100-105 kts, adjust throttle as necessary to avoid stalling,
Landing and Final Approach:
- Turn on landing lights.
- Reduce throttle to 70-75% and allow the aircraft to descend gradually.
- Pitch up slightly to maintain sufficient lift.
- Maintain speed around 90-95 kts, adjust throttle to avoid stalling.
- Once within 100 ft of the ground, begin to throttle down to 65% or less.
- Once on the ground throttle down to idle and hold the soft brake to slow down to a safe speed.
- Once clear of runway, turn off landing lights and turn on taxi lights.
