3.13 UNUSUAL MANOEUVRES
3.13.1 SLOW FLIGHT AND FLIGHT BEHIND THE POWER CURVE
Purpose Reduce speed until reaching desired rating conditions 65 mph -> 40 mph
Preparation Constant direction
Level flight over 500 ft - 65 mph
Execution Reduce engine
Check trim
Upon reaching 40 mph:
Increase power to maintain altitude
To regain speed:
Change trim to increase speed
Check power until reaching 65 mph
3.13.2 VERTICAL DESCENT
To descend vertically at zero forward speed, follow these indications:
1. Preparation:
a. note wind velocity
b. safe height
2. Throttle lever:
Partial reduction in comparison with level flight values
3. Trim management:
a. pull up gently
b. reduce forward speed
4. Directionality:
Keep aligned with a reference on the horizon
5. Reaching zero speed:
Do not exaggerate nose-up trim
6. Recovery:
a. release the control stick forward
b. gradually bring back the power to level flight values
c. keep aligned with a reference on the horizon
WARNING DANGER:
Low speed manoeuvre with tail wind should be avoided. Low speed manoeuvres are only
allowed at a minimum height of 500 ft. Engine failure whilst flying at low speeds and heights
less than 500 ft may prove fatal for the occupants. See APPENDIX 3 for Height-Speed
Envelope.
WARNING:
We recommend execution of gentle and progressive pitch movements in order not to incur
excessive nose up pitch attitudes and obtain a more efficient recovery, whilst minimising
height loss.
