4.3.9 Cruise
The aeroplane flight characteristics are very forgiving within permitted limits of airspeeds, configurations
and C/G range. The aeroplane can be controlled very easily. Refer to the Section 5 par. 5.3.1.
4.3.10 Descent
 Throttle - idling
 Speed - 140 km/h (75 kts)
 Trim - as necessary to reduce stick pressure
 Instruments - within limits

 Landing area check - runway
 Base leg
4.3.12 On base leg
 Speed - 110 km/h (60 kts)
 Flaps - extend to "38°“ position
 Trim - adjust as required
 Throttle - as necessary
 Instruments - within limits
4.3.13 On final
1. Speed - 90 – 100 km/h (50 - 55 kts)
2. Flaps - "55°“ position
3. Trim - adjust as required
4. Throttle - as necessary
5. Instruments - within limits
4.3.14 Landing
The airspeed during final is slowly reduced, so that the touch down speed is about 57 km/h (35 kts).
Gradually pull the stick after touch down to hold the nose wheel up as long as possible. Push the control
stick forward when the nose wheel touches. The landing run can be shortened by braking.
