Supplement Flight Training 9 - 10
Approach under normal conditions
Always land on the most suitable runway, taking into consideration
wind direction, length of runway, obstacles on the approach, etc. It is
recommended to fly the approach at 60 kIAS. The recommended
target airspeed (airspeed on short final in app. 50ft altitude) for
approach at MTOW (1,320 lb) is 60 kIAS and decreases down to 50
kIAS with an aircraft weight of only 1,000 lb.
Approach under tailwind conditions
When on final approach with a tailwind component, the REMOS
GX iS
does not require different approach or flare procedures than those
used in calm or headwind conditions. However, you do have to keep
in mind that the landing distance will increase significantly.
Approach in crosswind conditions
Crosswinds do not have a big effect on the flight characteristics of the
REMOS
GX iS
, as long as the cross-wind component stays within the
maximum demonstrated speed of up to 15 kts. Performing a crosswind
landing does not require above-average piloting skills. Nevertheless,
if not yet familiar with the aircraft, we recommend that you perform
crosswind landings only when accompanied by an experienced flight
instructor until sufficient experience has been gained.
Approach in turbulent weather conditions
It is recommended to fly the approach at 60 kIAS. The recommended
target airspeed (airspeed on short final in app. 50ft altitude) for
approach at MTOW (1,320 lb) is 52 kIAS and decreases down to 45
kIAS with an aircraft weight of only 1,000 lb.
