4.5.4.6 Lightning
The JS-3 is not approved for flight where lightning strikes may occur.
WARNING: Flights in conditions conducive to lightning strikes must
be avoided.
Approach
The circuit can be flown with the flaps set to setting 3 to 5 (+5° to +16.7°).
On final approach for landing the flaps can be changed to position L
(+20°) for a shorter landing at a lower touchdown speed. Due to high
aerodynamic forces, the flaps may not be extended to setting L above
160 km/h (or 86 kts).
Water ballast should be dumped prior to landing. Refer to Section 3.11.2
for asymmetric loads.
Ensure that the landing gear is down and locked and verified as such
before commencing final approach. The landing gear is lowered when
the cockpit handle is moved to the forward position.
