5.10. LANDING
5.10.1. LANDING PERFORMANCE
Conditions Weight: MTOM ( 1212 lbs / 550 kg)
Wind: zero
Runway: dry, level and paved
Flaps: (+2)
Airspeed: 55 KIAS
CAUTION: Minimum recommended runway length for approaches is 1640
feet (500 m) with no obstacles inside the 3 deg glide slope area and runway
heading in order ensure safe flying activity. Use of shorter strips should be
considered a major exception and requires a lot of skill, heavy use of slipping
until the last moment before touchdown and is performed at own risk.

CAUTION: Landing roll increases by 10 % for every 2000 ft increase in
density altitude.
CAUTION: Total landing distance increases by 2% for every 2000 ft
increase in density altitude.
5.10.2. CROSSWIND LANDINGS
The maximum allowed crosswind component speed on landing is 18 kts (33
km/h). Normal crosswind landings are made with flaps extended to +1.
Avoid prolonged slips. After touchdown, hold a straight course with rudder.
Only in case of high crosswind component it is permitted to land with flaps
retracted (0º).
CAUTION: The runway length required increases by 10 % for every 5 kts of
crosswind component.
