PILOT OPERATING HANDBOOK
·
•
The
TERCEL
is designed to react to the pilot’s instructions in
an intuitive and normal manner. Increasing the throttle causes
climb, reducing the throttle causes descent.
4.12 Approach and Landing
•
Choose an appropriate area for landing, check the movement
of other aircraft around, by using your radio and noting the
direction and speed of wind.
·
•
Check the descent speed by using the throttle lever and
control stick.
·
•
Maintain the appropriate approach speed (about 95 km/h (51
kt)).
·
•
Avoid sudden sideways movements.
·
•
Make sure the front wheel is straight.
·
•
At an appropriate level, initiate round out so as to align just
above the ground and touch down gently.
·
•
Remember landing
does not finish
when all the wheels touch
the ground.
·
•
Perform the landing run along a straight line until you stop. Do
not turn during the landing run.
·
•
Check the rotor until it stops completely.
·
•
Use the rotor brake below the speed of 150 rpm until it stops.
CAUTION
In case of strong sideway winds, plan the landing for the shortest possible
landing run and during the landing run tilt the control stick in the direction
into the wind (the wind from the left - the stick to the left).
