4.10 CROSS-WIND LANDING
In the event of a crosswind approach, either the sideslip technique (lowering the upwind
wing and using cross rudder) or the crab technique (heading towards the wind) can be used.
Only the cross control tecnique can be used shortly before the ground contact.
The maximum cross-wind component allowed during take-off and landing is 30/48
mph/km/h.
4.11 ABORTED LANDING (GO-AROUND)
Throttle, full power
SET
Flaps, when reaching a 54 mph (IAS) airspeed
RETRACT
The throttle control must be pushed smoothly and gradually to avoid an engine flooding or,
worse, an engine stoppage.
4.12 ENGINE SHUT-DOWN
Engine operating, low RPM
2 MINUTES
Throttle
IDLE
Magnetos

It’s recommended to keep the engine running at low RPM for as long as two minutes in
order to avoid a thermal shock and to achieve a thermal balance between the different engine’s
components. Moreover it will achieve a good pistons and piston rings lubrication so that the engine
will be left in the best condition for the next start.
4.13 PARKING AND TIE DOWN
Tying the airplane down for a prolonged time in adverse meteorological conditions could cause
damages at the attachement points.
An accurate inspection before flight is mandatory if such conditions exist.
To tie down the aircraft, tie two ropes to the rings installed under the wings near the strut
attachments and a third one on the tail ring.
The tie down rings can be used when the the ground wind speed doesn’t exceed
100km/h=62mph; when the wind speed exceed this value anchoring the nose wheel in
coorespondence of the wheel pins is reccomanded
Tie the control stick together with the rudder pedals by using an elastic chord to lock all the
movable surfaces.
Make sure the doors are closed and locked.
Put in place the optional windshield and windows protection canvas to prevent dust
accumulation and scratches.
