4.5.9 Cruise
The power setting and cruising altitude are the two major factors that will affect the cruising speed
and range of the J160. Other influencing factors include the weight and loading, temperature and
equipment installed in a given aircraft. The maximum power setting normally used for cruise is 75%
of the engine’s rated power. Power settings below this will result in increased range and endurance
corresponding with the reduced fuel consumption. At a power setting of 45% the J160 is capable of
attaining an endurance of close to 13 hours, for a range of over 1000 nautical miles. For efficient
and economical operation as well as to achieve maximum engine service life the engine must
always be operated in accordance with the procedures and specifications set out in the engine
manufacturer’s operator's manual.
4.5.10 Stalls
In any attitude or under any loading condition there is no natural stall warning. An artificial stall
warning horn is set to activate 5 to 10 KIAS above the stall speed in any configuration. All controls
are effective up to and completely through the stall and there is no noticeable tendency to enter a
spin after the stall.
4.5.11 Approach and Landing
Landings are normally conducted with full flaps. The landing approach is conventional. Care must
be taken to ensure airspeed is accurately maintained during the final landing approach. Timely and
appropriate use of power should be exercised to maintain the desired flight path and airspeed.
Excessively high approach speeds will result in prolonged floating and increased landing distance.
Normally the throttle should be fully closed during the 'flare' to reduce the tendency to float and
prolong the touchdown. Touchdown should occur on the main wheels initially, followed by the nose
gear which should be held clear of the ground during the initial ground roll. Positive braking may
then be applied depending on requirements and circumstances. For maximum braking
effectiveness the wing flaps should be retracted and back pressure applied to the control column.
4.5.12 Cross Wind Landing
The J160-C has been approved for operations in crosswinds of up to 14 Knots.
When landing in a strong cross wind use a wing low, crab, or a combination method of drift
correction. Avoid a prolonged hold off by allowing the aircraft to settle onto the runway in a slightly
nose high and wing low attitude, touching down on the into wind mainwheel first followed by the
other mainwheel and then the nose gear in quick succession. In strong and/or gusty wind
conditions it may be desirable to make the final approach at a slightly higher than normal airspeed
with partial or no flap selected.
4.5.13 Baulked Landing
In a baulked landing (go-around), the wing flaps should be retracted to take-off immediately after full
power has been applied. Upon reaching a safe airspeed, the flaps should be smoothly retracted to
the full up position and a normal climb established.
4.5.14 Flight Over Water
When life preservers and rafts are required, crew life preservers should be worn at all times. Life
rafts can be stowed in the baggage compartment.
