LANDING
A good landing follows a power controlled, constant speed, and constant sink rate approach from the
180 degree position. The Bandit ARF will require about a quarter to half throttle during the turn to final.
On final approach, reduce the power a few clicks more and fly a 2-3 degree glide slope.
Once over the end of the runway and within a few feet of the ground, reduce the power to idle and
flare for landing. If runway length is limited, preset (in the landing pattern) the brakes to ¾ on, adjust on
roll out.
If there is a crosswind component, put the ailerons into the wind and maintain heading with opposite
rudder for the roll out. Braking on a hard surface runway should be gentle. Come to a complete stop
before turning for taxi back.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
GO AROUND
 Apply full power and rotate nose up to 5-10 degrees
 Flaps to the take-off position, retract the speed brake.
 Gear up
 Climb to a safe altitude and re-enter the landing pattern.
NOTE: If fuel is very low, delay full flaps and landing gear until on final approach. Use speed brake as
needed.
FLAME OUT
 Select take-off flaps
 Land into the wind
 Land gear up in the grass if runway is out of range.
 Glide and landing speed will be determined by the weight of fuel remaining.
LOSS OF CONTROL
Shut the engine down. Pre-flight you helper on how to do this; you may be too busy trying to fly. Shutting
down the engine before impact is the most important procedure to prevent a fire.
LANDING GEAR WILL NOT EXTEND
Burn off excess fuel and land with take-off flaps. Shut the engine down prior to touchdown.
SPLIT FLAP CONDITION
Always extend the flaps at a safe altitude. If a violent roll occurs, retract them immediately. Fly a faster
than normal approach (about 10-15 mph) and shutdown the engine prior to flare out for landing.
