5 Stall
The REMOS GX is fully controllable when flying at a wide range of
airspeeds. At airspeeds below the lower speed limit, the aircraft will
display very stable stall characteristics. If the airspeed is reduced by
the pilot gradually pulling back on the control stick, aerodynamic
buffet will occur, indicating that the aircraft is approaching the stall
speed. Should the aircraft then be allowed to stall, the aircraft will
remain controllable. The aircraft can be stalled both with flaps
extended or retracted.
Conducting a stall manoeuvre does not require a special skill,
regardless, if not yet familiar with the aircraft we recommend to do
this exercise only when accompanied by an
experienced flight
instructor for the first time.
6 Slip
The slip is a very stable flight condition and is also very easy to
perform. This maneuver is used to increase aerodynamic drag to
enable a high rate of descent.
Before establishing a slip you have to ensure that the airspeed is
within the required limits, the maximum permissible indicated
airspeed of 108 mph (94 kts) (V
A
) should not be exceeded and if
performing a slip with flaps extended, a maximum indicated airspeed
of 81 mph (70 kts) (V
FE
) must be maintained. You will achieve the
maximum descent rate at an indicated airspeed of 63 mph (55 kts)
with flaps extended fully.
Conducting a slip will not require special skills, nevertheless, if not
yet familiar with the aircraft, we recommend to do this exercise only
when accompanied by an experienced flight instructor for the first
time.
7 Gliding
The aircraft can glide well with the engine off. Best glide ratios are
achieved within an indicated airspeed of 75 mph (65 kts). These
speeds will establish a glide ratio of about 1:10 with the flaps
retracted (0° position).
