9.8.4 Balked landing
Balked landing (go around) situation occurs due to errors made during approach which
cannot be corrected or in case if an obstacle is suddenly detected on the runway. The balked
landing procedure is described in the section
Total time of balked landing training
– 20 minutes. Number of flights – 1. Number of landings
– 1.
9.8.5 Low speed flight, recognizing the starting and ongoing stall and stall recovery
The aircraft has no adverse handling features at low speeds and at stall with any of flaps
settings. A light vibration of controls in roll may be noticed that warns about approaching to
the stalling speed. The stall occurs in form of airplane pitch angle decrease without a
noticeable change in bank angle. The airplane recovers from stall immediately if the flight
controls are returned to their neutral position. During a low speed flight with wings level
deflection of ailerons does not initiate stall. However during a turn at a low speed abrupt
aileron deflection may cause stall with noticeable increase in bank angle.
Stall recovery procedure is described in the section
Total time of low speed flight training
– 20 minutes. Number of flights – 1. Number of
landings
– 1.
9.8.6 High speed flight, recognizing and recovery from steep diving spiral
The aircraft has no peculiar handling features at high speeds. The control forces increase
with airspeed growing and that impedes the abrupt control inputs and exceeding the limit
loads due to that. During high speed flight the engine parameters must be monitored and
exceeding its operational limits must be prevented.
To recover from a steep spiral the engine RPM must be reduced first and then the airplane
must be brought to level flight by deflecting gently the ailerons and elevator.
Total time of high speed flight training
– 20 minutes. Number of flights – 1. Number of
landings
– 1.
9.8.7 Short field takeoff and landing with overflying obstacles
Short field takeoff and landing procedures are described in the sections
and
. To fly
over the obstacles (if any) during the climb and approach it is recommended to set the flaps
to 2
nd
position and fly at the best climb angle speed V
X
= 90 km/h (56 mph, 49 kts).
Total time of short field takeoff and landing training
– 20 minutes. Number of flights – 1.
Number of landings
– 4.
9.8.8 Crosswind takeoff and landing
It is recommended to use 1
st
flap setting during crosswind takeoff or landing.
In case of crosswind takeoff it is necessary to rotate the yoke (move the stick) by 1/3 of its
full travel against the wind direction to counter the downwind drift and control the heading
using the rudder pedals. Then the takeoff will occur with some bank angle. After the takeoff
the wings shall be set level, the downwind drift shall be countered with an appropriate
change of heading and climb shall be continued.
In case of crosswind landing it is recommended to keep the airplane aligned with the runway
using rudder pedals while countering the downwind drift with a bank angle against the wind
direction. The bank angle value shall be appropriate to the crosswind strength. The bank
shall be maintained until touchdown which will occur with one of the main wheels touching
