Anticipate mild sailplane ballooning when using higher approach speeds.
4.4.4 LANDING
Landing on the airport
The landing manoeuvre is entirely conventional. Use small elevator inputs
at the flare. The sailplane should touch down with the landing gear first
and then with the tail wheel if landed correctly(to reduce shock to the
tail wheel on ground contact). Do not flare prematurely in order to prevent
the sailplane from droping from a higher height.
Off-field landing
It is recommended to land with the landing gear retracted if landing on
a soft ground.
Note:
In this case extend the wheel before the next flight.
Post flight
The following operations must be recorded in the sailplane log book as
they occur:
(1) Flight time with wing tip extensions installed.
(2) Number of winch and aerotow launches by type.
(3) Flight time during acrobatic maneuvers.
