Care should be taken in gusty or thermic conditions to maintain at least 60mph on climb-out and approach
(to/from 250’ minimum), to ensure good roll response and to avoid gust-stalling. Cross-wind limits must be
observed. The following weather limitations apply:

Experienced Pilots

Intermediate Pilots

Beginners
0 - 10 solo hours pilot in command
Where the aircraft is flown in a country where there is a formally recognised training scheme leading to a private
pilots license or certificate, the wind limitations may be increased at the discretion of a student pilot’s instructor,
up to the maximum limitations for an experienced pilot.
Tuning
It is important that the wing is trimmed so that it will fly straight at a range of steady speeds. A wing which
exhibits a constant turn when flying ‘hands off’ will be tiring to fly and uncomfortable in turbulence, particularly
when landin
g or taking off. A properly tuned wing will fly completely ‘hands off’ throughout the whole range of
power settings.
Refer to Section 11 for tuning details including hangpoint selection.
8.2. PRIMARY CONTROLS
The Quik-GTR wing is controlled by standar
d ‘weight-shift’ techniques. The speed of response and lightness of
action should be borne in mind for those pilots converting from other makes of aircraft.

Severe airframe icing can affect handling
markedly. At the first sign, you should land or
fly out of icing conditions.
It is absolutely essential that all persons wishing to fly the Quik-GTR are trained to a minimum
standard of the syllabus as published by the British Microlight Aircraft Association, carried out by a
recognised training organisation for this type of aircraft. It is absolutely essential that all persons with
experience of 3 axis aircraft undertake a flexwing conversion course on a dual-control flexwing
aircraft before attempting to fly the P&M Aviation Quik-GTR.
