Taxi
Taxing technique does not dier from other taildragging aircraft equipped with a stearable tail
wheel. Prior to taxiing it is essential to check wheel brakes for proper braking action.
Take-o and initial climb
Start the takeo roll pushing the elevator one third forward and lift the tail wheel of 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 all three wheels touch the ground at
exactly the same time. When touching down, rudder MUST NOT be deected 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 sucient, come to a complete standstill
without engaging the brakes but holding the control stick slightly forward not to overstress the tail
wheel.
