Flying with the Speed Release (SR) system
The SR system combines speed system with trimmers, resulting in automatic, smooth trimmer
release on pressing the speedbar. In order to activate the system, you have to connect Power
Attack hooks to the trimmer and release the trimmer tape accordingly, restricting its movement.
From this moment, the pilot can use entire range of the airfoil geometry and angle of attack
(to the extent that the trimmer tape has been released).
These are basic guidelines only. As a whole, the combined 2D/Tipsteering system is very
versatile and every pilot will find his own way to use it. However, before flying with this system,
we strongly recommend getting fully acquainted with the Falcon over several hours of flight.
Various steering methodes with SR disabled and enabled
Steering with main brake handles only (slow or accelerated)
The main brake handle has different effects when pulled down vs. away.
