Flight manual DG500 M
On the ground:
Handstarting the engine is not possible as you don't reach the necessary
starting RPM.
You may carry out an aerotow and airstart the engine see above.
3.12 Retraction or extension of the power plant with the normal
mechanism not working
Extend or retract the power plant via the manual switch on the right side
console see sect. 7.3 item 24.
This procedure is only to be followed in an emergency as all safety
devices (e.g. against retraction of the engine while running) are by-passed.
3.13 Landing with the engine extended and stopped
Wing flap setting +10° or L
Landing with the engine extended and stopped is not a potential risk.
However due to the high drag from the extended engine, the approach
should be made not using airbrakes fully extended.
Fully extended airbrakes may result in a heavy and uncomfortable
landing.
It is recommended to approach somewhat faster than usual.
3.14 Flight with asymmetric waterballast
If you suspect that the waterballast does not dump symmetrically you
have to close the dump valves of the wingtanks immediately, to avoid
greater asymmetry.
Asymmetry can be verified by the necessary aileron deflection in straight
flight at low airspeeds.
When flying with asymmetric waterballast you have to increase the
airspeed, especially in turns, so that you can avoid a stall at all costs.
If the aircraft does enter a spin, you have to push the stick forward clearly
during recovery.
Fly the landing pattern and touch down approx. 10 km/h (6 kts.) faster
than usually and after touch down control carefully the bank angle to
avoid the wing touching the ground too early.
