NOTE: Side-slipping the JS-3 on final approach is not
recommended as it is an inefficient method to increase
the sink rate. However, the aircraft can be side-slipped
up to a speed of 203 km/h (110 kts). Partial water ballast
has no noticeable effect on the flying characteristics
during a sideslip. Airspeed indication may under-read at
yaw angles exceeding 20°.
WARNING: When executing a sideslip exceeding an angle of 20°,
the control force gradient may become negative i.e. the
rudder will be aerodynamically pushed against the
rudder stop. This can be corrected by applying opposite
rudder. Refer to Section 3.7 for the excessive sideslip
recovery procedure.
NOTE: Landing in flap setting 2 or setting 1 is strongly
discouraged due to the increased stall speeds.
NOTE: In the landing configuration with aft CG the maximum
trim speed is 0.84 V

Landing
The correct attitude for landing is the two-point attitude with the main
wheel and tail wheel making contact with the ground simultaneously.
The hydraulic wheel brake is activated by squeezing the trigger on the
control stick. Ensure that the wheel brake is not applied before
touchdown.
