8.3 Cruise
The airplane flight characteristics are very forgiving within permit-
ted limits of airspeeds, configurations and C/G range. The airplane can be
controlled very easily. Refer to the Section 5 par. 5.3.1 .
8.4 Approach
Descent
1. Throttle - idling
2. Speed - 55 kts
3. Trim - as necessary to reduce
stick pressure
4. Instruments - within limits
Caution
When on long final or descending from a very high altitude, it is
not advisable to reduce the engine Throttle control lever to idle.
The engine becomes overcooled and a loss of power occurs.
When descending, apply increased idle so that engine instru-
ment readings stay within the limits for normal use.
Warning
Never remove your feet from rudder pedals during flight!
Your feet are making tension in rudder control line!
