Flight Training Supplement 10.1 - 7
8 Descent
When descending from level flight it is important to watch engine
temperatures. During descent, the temperatures will decrease, which
could cause engine failures or carburetor icing to develop.
So it is
strongly recommended not to exceed the lower limits of these
temperatures. In any case engage carburetor heating before
descending.
9 Approach
Approach under normal conditions
Always land on the most suitable runway, consider the wind
direction, size of the runway, obstacles on the approach etc. The
recommended airspeed for approach is 75 mph (65 kts).
Approach under tailwind conditions
When making a final approach with a tailwind componen, the
REMOS GX does not require different approach or flare procedures
to that when flown in calm or headwind conditions, you do however
have to keep in mind, that the landing distances will increase.
Approach in crosswind conditions
Crosswinds will not have a big effect to the flight characteristics of
the REMOS GX as long as cross-wind component stays within the
maximum demonstrated speed up to 17 mph (15 kts). Performing a
crosswind landing will not require above average piloting skills.
Nevertheless, if not yet familiar with the aircraft, we recommend to
initially exercise crosswind landings only when accompanied by an
experienced flight instructor until sufficient experience has been
gained.
