Landing with a flat tyre
1.
During the landing hold off, hold the flat wheel/tyre off as long as possible using
the ailerons or elevator as required. Avoid grass if possible a hard surface is preferred.
2.
Maintain direction during the landing roll.
3.
Stop and inspect damage before further taxi
3.9
Landing with a defective landing gear
1.
Establish contact with ATC and request a fly by for an inspection.
2.
If the main landing gear is damaged, perform touch-down at the lowest speed
possible and attempt to maintain direction during the landing roll.
3.
If the nose wheel is damaged, perform touch-down at the lowest speed possible
and hold the nose wheel over a runway using the elevator as long as possible.
4.
It is the pilots choice whether to shut the engine down
2.10 Recovery from unintentional spin
WARNING
Intentional spins are prohibited! The procedure below is only for information
.
The aircraft has no tendency to spontaneously enter an uncontrollable spin if normal
piloting techniques are used. However there is a tendency for a wing drop at the fully
developed stall if slightly out of balance.
The following standard procedure can be used to recover from an intentional spin:
1.
Throttle
- Reduced to idle
2.
Control stick
- Ailerons/ Elevator centralised
3. Rotation
- Identify direction of rotation
4.
Rudder pedals
- Apply full opposite rudder to rotation
5.
Control stick
- Forward stick on elevator control as required to stop spin.
6.
Rudder pedals
- immediately after rotation stops, centralise the rudder.
7.
Recover from the dive, take care not to exceed V
NE.
3.11 Other emergencies
3.11.1
Vibration
If any forced aircraft vibrations appear:
1.
Adjust the engine speed to the setting at which the vibration is minimum.
2.
Land as soon as possible; perform a precautionary landing if necessary.
3.11.2
Carburettor icing
The EV-97 EuroStar SL Microlight is supplied with a coolant carburettor heater
system which should prevent carburettor icing; however icing may be possible under
extreme conditions.
Certain weather conditions, particularly low temperatures and high humidity, give rise
to the risk of carburettor icing. The carburettor icing shows itself through a decrease
in engine power, rough running and an increase in engine temperatures.
To recover the engine power, the following procedure is recommended:
Speed
- 65 Knots
Throttle
- increase power
If possible, leave the icing area
Increase the engine power gradually to maximum power.
