Flight and Operations Manual of ATEC 321 Faeta ultralight aircraft with Rotax 912 iS Sport
ATEC v.o.s. Libice nad Cidlinou, Czech Republic Page 28 of 56
Landing
The speed of the aircraft in hold-up position decreases by soft pulling of the control stick until touch
down at the speed of 70km/h (38kt). After touch-down of the nose wheel, the landing distance can be
shortened by braking.
Do not apply maximum braking power except an extreme situation occures. A frequent use of brakes
results in undue wear of tyres, brake pads and discs. A frequent intensive braking may cause a
mechanical over-stress of undercarriage and other load bearing structure. This may shorten the life-
time of the airframe.
4.9. Flight in Rainy Conditions
During the flight in rain, it is necessary to pay more attention to the aircraft control because of poor
visibility and limited transparency of the canopy. Furthermore, shorter hold-up position when landing
and extended take-off distance must be taken into account.
Maintain the following speeds during the flight in the rain:
1. Climbing 120 km/h (65kt)
2. Cruising flight 120 – 180 km/h (65 – 97kt)
3. Descending to land 110 km/h (59kt), flaps positions I and II as by Art. 2.2.
4.10. Engine Shut-off
After landing and taxiing to the parking place, keep the engine running by approx. 2000 RPM for a
period at least 2 min. to cool it down. If the engine was cooled down enough by descending flight and
taxiing, it can be shut-off as soon as the aircraft is stopped.
1. Switch off all sectional switches except fuel pump
2. Switch off LANE A, LANE B, fuel pump and the master switch
Always keep the fuel valve open for appropriate fuel tank in use.
