Severe Weather
Your Lancair is stressed for all but the most severe maneuvers but anything man
can build he can break. Severe weather means dangerous wind shears and vertical
air movements. These can often be seen as evidenced by cumulus or lenticular
clouds, but not always. Winters can lower the jet stream into our flight altitudes
where wind shears can result in clear air turbulence. Should surprise add some
adrenaline into the picture over stressing could be a problem. The same could be
true busting thru a front with thunderstorms. The answer - DON’T.
Icing
Your Lancair performance is the result of both a clean design aerodynamically
and a laminar airfoil which provides lift with less drag penalty than conventional
airfoils. While bugs on the leading edge will reduce your performance a small
amount, ice has the potential to not only reduce its lifting capability, but also will
significantly increase drag and stall speeds and, more importantly change your
stall characteristics.
Should you begin to accumulate ice in flight, as soon as you notice it attempt to
avoid by changing altitude or reversing course. (Remember that preflight briefing
where you noted the potential for icing and determined what your “out” would
be?) If that ice does not sublimate (evaporate as ice) or melt prior to your land-
ing, increase your approach speed and land “hot”. If circumstances permit, make
an opportunity to feel out the approach to stall characteristics before attempting
the landing.
WARNING
Do not take the aircraft into a “full” stall. While
decelerating slowly feel out the controllability of
the aircraft. As soon as an acceptably low speed
is reached to allow landing at the intended airport
accept that, add about 5 kts and land. Stall/spin
characteristics of the Lancair with ice have not been
evaluated AVOID!
Flight into known icing is prohibited. Flight into inadvertent icing is not to be
treated lightly. Remember that other systems may be affected such as the pitot
system. If flying in IMC conditions have the pitot heat ON. If no heater is installed
be extremely aware of the potential for blockage at air temperatures approaching
and below 32°F (0°C), and exit those conditions as soon as possible.
