sEcTroN llr
MANEUVERS
The
alrpl,ane ls approved
for
certain
aerobatic måneuvers
up to
a
gross
welght
of
1950 lbs.,
provided
it is
loaded within
theapprovedweight
and
center of
gravity
limits.
(See
Airplane
Fli.ght Manual)
The
maneuvers
are
spins,
steep
turns, lazy
elghts
and
chandelles.
APPROACH
AND
TANDING
The airplane
should
be
trlmmed
to
an approach
speed of
about 85
mlles
per
hour with flaps up.
The flaps
can
be lowered
at
speeds up
to
ll5
miles
per
hour,
if deslred,
and lf approach
speed is
reduced 3
miles
per
hour for each
additlonal notch of
flap. Carburetor heat should
not
be
applled unless
there ls
an
indicatlonof
carburetor
iclng slnce the use
of
carburetor heat
causes
a reduction
ln
power
which
may
be
critical in case of
a
go-around. Full
throttle operationwlth heaton
is likelytocause
detonation.
The
amount
of
flap used during landings and the
speed
of
the
aircraft at
contact
with
the
runway should
be
varied ac-
cording to the
landlng
surface
and existing condltions, both
windwise and
loadwise.
It is
generally good
practlce
tocontact
the
grotrnd
at
the minimum
possible
safe
speed consistent
with
existing conditlons.
Norrnalln the
best
technlque for short
and
slow landings
is to
use full
flap andenough
powertomaintain
thedesired air-
speedand approach fltght
path.
Mixture should befullrich, fuel
on the fullest
tank, carburetor
heat
off,
and
electric fuel
pump
on. Reduce
the speed during
the flareoutand
contact the
ground
close to the stalling speed
(55to65
MPIfl. After
gtound
contact
hold
the nose wheel
off as
long
as
possible.
As
the airplane
slols down,
drop
tlre
nose
and
apply the brakes.
There wlll
be
less chance
of
skidding
the tires
lf
the flaps
are
retracted before
