Landing
Power plant retracted / power plant removed
For off field landing the undercarriage should always be extended as the
protection of the pilot is much better, especially from vertical impacts on landing.
Main wheel and tail wheel should touch down simultaneously.
After touching down the flap may be set at “0” for improved aileron response
during landing run.
To avoid a long ground run, make sure that the aircraft touches down at minimum
speed. A touch down at 90 km/h (49 kt, 56 mph) instead of 80 km/h (43 kt, 50
mph) means that the kinetic energy to be dissipated by braking is increased by a
factor of 1.26 and therefore the ground run is lengthened unnecessarily.
The landing run may be shortened noticeable by applying the effective hydraulic
wheel brake (stick pulled fully back)
Powerplant extended (Ignition OFF):
Landings with the power plant extended must only be carried out in an emergency.
