8.8 Cross Wind Landing and Take Off 
 

Pilots with less experience should avoid landing  or taking  off with  high crosswind components, as skills 

do not always match the capabilities of the ultralight. Crosswind landing or take off with low wind 
components up to 1 m/s are quite safe and controllable, even to the inexperienced pilot. 

 

The nominated approach speed of 51 km/h

 

should be increased to 60 km/h when landing in cross wind 

conditions of 5m/s or more. 
After touchdown in cross wind conditions the relative airflow over the wing will become increasingly span 

wise (From tip to tip) as the ultralight slows down. The upwind tip should be lowered slightly (the amount 

depends on the wind strength), and the undercarriage wheels will retain firm contact with the ground. 
Take off procedure is unchanged for the nominated crosswind limit. The upward may need to be lowered 

at the start of the take off procedure in higher cross winds. 

 

8.9 Go-Around Landing 
 

During a situation where a go-around landing is required, normal take off power and procedures should 

be used. 
 

8.10 Stopping the Engine 

 
To stop the engine after a period of running, the ignition should be switched off at idle. If the engine has 

been running under full power, allow the engine to cool at idle before switching off. 

 

8.11 After Landing / Securing 

 

After landing and when in the parking switch the ignition off and set the key in off position. The ultralight 
should be parked in a crosswind position with the base tube secured to the mast brace. The rescue 

system safety pin should be inserted before leaving the ultralight. 

 

 

9. LANDING GEAR OPERATION 

 

Please, bear in mind that the main purpose of the retractable landing gear on the ANT trike is significant 
reduction in the dimensions of the folded in transport position trike. The drag reduction from retracted 

landing gear is fairly small and it won’t be noticeable in flight. 

 
The in-flight landing gear retraction and extension procedures are similar to those described in the 

section 3.3. Retractable landing gear. The only difference is that the pilot will be sitting in the seat and 

piloting the trike which will make it less comfortable to operate the undercarriage. 

 

WARNING

 

PRIOR ATTEMPTING THE LANDING GEAR RETRACTION IN FLIGHT, TRAIN DOING THIS PROCEDURE ON 

THE GROUND FROM THE PILOT SEAT. SECURE THE TRIKE IN LIFTED POSITION BEFORE TRAINING.  
 

WARNING 

DON’T FORGET TO EXTEND THE LANDING GEAR BEFORE LANDING.

 

 

 

 

10. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES 

 

10.1 General 

 

This section contains operating procedures for flight and system emergency conditions that are essential 
for the continued safe operation of the ultralight. 

Always maintain correct airspeed and altitudes in the circuit area.
