4.6 Approach and Landing 

Begin with your approach early enough in order to set the correct landing 
configuration without hurrying. 

 

Activate

 carburettor heat. 

  The electrical fuel pump 

must be switched on

.  

In order to be able to steeply approach short landing strips, use flap 
position 2 (landing). Moreover, the glide path can be effectively shortened 
by a sideslip. 

Before proceeding to flap position 2 reduce the speed below velocity  
V

fe

 : 

  

Until 2009 : 

 

 

105 km/h (57 kts) 

  

Since 2010 : 

 

 

117 km/h (63 kts) 

The best speed to engage the flaps is between 90 and 100 km/h (48 and 
54 kts) 

On final approach with flap position III keep the speed at about 90 km/h 
(48 kts) with the engine at idle. 

The glide angle in flap position II (take-off/landing) is significantly 
shallower and thus the flare distance is much longer. The approach 
speed should be about 105 to 110 km / h (57 – 59 kts). 

At the height of approximately 3 m begin rounding out to the landing flair. 
Begin final flair at the height of about 50 cm. Landing speed is approx. 70 
km/h (38 kts). 

 

4.7 Shutting Down the Engine 

Shut off all electrical accessories and radios 

before 

shutting down the 

engine. 

Under normal conditions, the engine will have cooled down sufficiently 
during descent and taxiing so that it can be shut down by turning off the 
ignition.
