OCCUPY and monitor, in strong turbulence
–
at least 100 m (300 ft.).
2. Cruise speed
–
SET, in strong turbulence

check OPEN for fuel tank with fuel, CLOSE empty fuel tank.
6. Turns
–
perform with caution in strong turbulence and at low altitudes.
5.10 Approach
1. Speed
–
REDUCE below 148 km/h (92 mph, 80 kts), minimum 100 km/h (62 mph,
54 kts).
2. Flaps
–
EXTEND position 1. Wind stronger 8 m/s (16 kts)
–
FLAPS UP.
3. Elevator trim tab
–
ADJUST as required.
4. Approach speed on final
–
100 km/h (62 mph, 54 kts), +10 km/h (6 mph, 5 kts) in rain or
strong turbulence.
5. Too high on final
–
REDUCE RPM, at idle
–
SLIP.
6. Too low on final
–
INCREASE RPM.
DO NOT RETRACT FLAPS when flying low over
high obstacles or close to the ground!
5.11 Normal landing
1. Direction
–
ALIGN the airplane WITH THE RUNWAY using rudder pedals.
2. Side drift
–
ELIMINATE by banking against the drift (crosswind, if any).
3. Flare
–
start at 3 m (15 ft.), level off at approximately 0.3 m (1 ft.).
Gradually reduce bank and side drift while flaring and leveling off.
4. Throttle
–
IDLE.
5. Touchdown
–
at minimum speed.
Avoid touching ground with the tail.
6. Yoke
–
HOLD to reduce the speed and PUSH gently to lower the nose wheel slowly.
7. Flaps
–
RETRACT.
8. Brakes
–
ENGAGE as required.
Avoid braking at a high speed or nose wheel up!
