3.1.5.15 Landing
At a height of about 10 m reduce the engine speed to idle. Maintain speed of
90-100 km/h till flattening-out. When floating at a height of 0.5 -1 m above
ground, decelerate gradually by pulling the control stick backward. At a speed of
about 60 km/h the aircraft touches-down on main wheels. At landing run it is
necessary to hold the elevator up and to apply brakes with feeling, keeping in
mind a potentiality of turning the aircraft over on propeller. At wind speed over 7
m/sec it is advisable to land with increased idle.
