9.11 Training Recommendations
The XT 912 handles predictably in all flight regimes so there are no unique training requirements in any
area except landing. Like all WSC aircraft aerobatic maneuvers are strictly prohibited.
9.11.1
Landing
Most WSC pilots are unprepared for the speed of the XT 912’s approach to landing. As previously
stated, it is not necessary to pull the control bar in past the trim position unless a considerable amount of
turbulence is encountered. Fly the final approach at trim speed and flare normally. You will notice that
the approach is also flatter than most WSC aircraft allowing for a smoother, less abrupt flare out to land.
