IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Always keep in mind that any aircraft may experience unexpected engine failure.
Hence, make sure you always have enough altitude to be able to pick as safe an emergency field
as possible.
Never overfly built up or hostile areas such as forests, swamps, etc... without an added margin of
altitude to be able to reach safer terrain in case of engine failure.
The same applies to your choice of maneuvering speed, especially in phases of flight which allow
no room for improvisation (take off, climb out, landing).
Give yourself an ample safety margin; you will never regret it.
5-12 : Stopping the engine
On the ground:
Let the engine cool down for 30 seconds at half RPM before turning off the ignition.
- parking brake on
- radio and intercom: off
- all switches: off
- never close the fuel shut off (if fitted).
5- 13 : Parking and storage
(It is preferable to keep the X-AIR Hanuman parked inside a hangar)
If the X-AIR Hanuman has to be left outside unattended:
- point the aircraft into the wind, and put the brake on
- attach the stick with both safety harnesses
- immobilize the rudder with a control lock or other
- tie down the wings from the top of the struts to a "corkscrew "anchor in the ground
- similarly, tie down the propeller shaft
- block the wheels
- in Summer, shade the instrument panel with an aluminum/Mylar film.
5-14 : Performances (m = 450 kg)
The performance figures found in the following annexes represent averaged measured values.
However, take into consideration that performance will vary with the power plant fitted on each
aircraft.
Performances at take off are greatly influenced by air density. Higher altitude and/or temperature
will affect results.
To clear 15m (approx.50ft) after take off, it is best to reach 85-90 km/h (46 to 49 kts) before you
come back on the stick.
This will mean a longer roll, but will eventually result in a shorter distance to clear 15m (50 ft).
Fuel consumption may vary with the mixture setting. Range will be estimated from the amount of
fuel in the tank, the wind and a minimum safety reserve of 30minutes.
Best gliding speed is lower if weight is lower. If the actual weight is 30% below maximum, the
best gliding speed will be 15% lower than normally specified.
Landing distance (to clear 15m) can be considerably shortened by side slipping, with stick into
the wind and opposite rudder. Practice with a qualified instructor is mandatory.
