Revision –
4.5.7.2
Caution:
1. In 18 m configuration and rudder displaced more than 80% of its travel, a
straight flight path cannot be maintained and the aircraft will turn in the
direction of the displaced rudder. Since the airbrakes are very effective and
because of this behaviour, side slipping is not recommended.
2. With extended airbrakes and increased yaw angle a slow pitch down
movement arise though the stick is pulled followed by an increase of speed.
To stop this movement lessen the yaw angle by reducing the rudder
deflection or retract airbrakes.
3. During side slip with not completely filled water ballast tanks a shift of the
water ballast can arise which can change the flight behaviour. Slips with
water ballast are therefor not recommended.
Warning:
Both the performance and the aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft
are affected adversely by rain or ice on the wing.
Be cautious when landing!
Increase the approach speed by at least 5 to 10 km/h (3-5 kts, 3-6 mph).
