Taxi
Taxing technique does not dier from other aircraft equipped with a stearable nose wheel. Prior to
taxiing it is essential to check wheel brakes for proper braking action.
Take-o and initial climb
Start the takeo roll holding the elevator one third backward and lift the nose wheel o the ground
as you accelerate. Reaching V
R
, gently pull on the stick to get the aircraft airborne.
Roundout and touchdown
CAUTION! Land the aircraft in such a manner that the two main wheels touch the ground rst,
allow the nose-wheel touchdown only after speed has been reduced below 30 km/h (18 kts).
When touching down, rudder MUST NOT be deected in any direction (rudder pedals centred).
When on ground, start braking action holding the control stick in full back position. Stear the aircraft
using brakes and rudder only. Provided the runway length is sucient, come to a complete standstill
without engaging the brakes, holding the control stick slightly backwards as you decellerate.
Weight and balance
