5.9 CLIMB
Best rate of climb
The best rate of climb speed V
Y
= 160 km/h. Expect about 1400 ft/min at sea level and 0° flaps.
Best angle of climb
The best angle of climb speed V
X
= 140 km/h and 0° flaps.
5.10 CRUISE
Once desired height is established, accelerate until the required speed and adjust power.
5.11 DESCENT
The Esqual is a very clean, low drag, aerodynamic aircraft which accelerates very rapidly to its
cruising speed and when the throttle is retarded it looses speed very slowly maintaining a lot of
energy.
Therefore it is important to plan your descent and approach well in advance.
To avoid shock cooling of your engine, apply periodically some power on long descents.
Bear in mind the possibility of ice formation in the carburettor at low power settings.
5.12 APPROACH
Consider that most landings are usually only as good as the approach. Therefore master your
glide for every different wind condition. In that way, should you ever have a forced landing due
to an engine failure you will be prepared and trained.
Set up glide from the moment you turn base leg (if possible) and concentrate on landing behind
the runway numbers (threshold). The second you realize you are too short add power
accordingly.
Should you realize you are too high, start your slip immediately, keeping your target in mind.
If you are not current on side-slip, get some altitude and practice, keeping a constant airspeed
between 100 and 110 km/h and straight lines ahead.
