NOTE
With a new engine, try to use 75% power as often as
possible until either a total of 50 hours of operations have
been accumulated or the oil consumption has stabilized.
This will ensure that the piston rings seat correctly.
4.4.3.5 Descent
During descent, use the carburetor heat as required.
Take care not to exceed the maximum speed of the
engine (2750 rpm). Also, use caution to prevent shock-
cooling the engine by descending at high airspeeds with
too low of a throttle setting. Enrich the mixture as you
descend.
4.4.3.6 Approach and Landing
Flaps may be lowered to the first notch (15°) when the
airspeed is below 85 mph or 74 knots IAS. The maximum
speed for more flaps (>15°) is 81 mph or 70 knots IAS.
CAUTION
Plan the pattern so steep turns are not required when
turning from down-wind to base leg and from base
leg to final. Steep turns increase stall speed (Fig 5-2
and 5-3, Stall Speed Versus Angle of Bank). Steep
turns, low power, and slow airspeed can be
dangerous, particularly if the airplane is heavily
loaded and/or with gusty or turbulent wind
conditions.
4.4.3.6.1 Normal Landing
The normal landing in the aircraft is in a three-point,
stalled condition. Adjust the throttle and pitch attitude to
compensate for ground effect as the aircraft approaches
the runway. At approximately 10 feet AGL, smoothly
begin landing flare to attain a three-point attitude.
Maintain this attitude and adjust the throttle to accomplish
