3.3.5 Cruise
FM-250 Vampire
will cruise at a wide range of speeds. After leveling off at your flight level
set the power for appropriate speed and re-trim the aircraft. While making turns do not forget
that the stall speed increases with the bank angle.
ATTENTION
Do not perform any steep turns at speed lower than 130 km/h. Do not make any
abrupt movements with flying controls at speed over 200 km/h and use the
maximum of 1/3 of their full deflection.
3.3.6 Descent
Avoid setting idle RPM during longer descents to prevent undercooling your engine. Instead
plan your descent well ahead with slightly higher than idle RPM.
Sideslip
The sideslip should be performed at the speed between 120 and 130 km/h.

Try to align for the final approach as far as possible so you will have enough time to
concentrate on the landing. If you are not aligned with the runway after the final turn, do not
tighten it but rather finish the turn with the same angle of bank and then correct it with the
opposite turn.

3.3.10 Landing
At the speed 100 - 110 km/h start round out about 5 meters above the ground and at a height
of 0.5 – 1 meter start the flare. After touching down on the main wheels continue to control
the aircraft and keep the nose wheel up as long as possible.
