Approach in turbulent weather conditions
The recommended airspeed for approach is 75 mph (65 kts). This
will give you a reserve airspeed to balance any unexpected
deviations in altitude and heading. In more gusty conditions it may
beneficial to stabilize the glide slope by keeping the flap setting to
the 15° position.
Approach in rain showers
Raindrops on the wing surfaces influence the aerodynamic
characteristics of the airfoil, drag will increase while lift decreases.
The airfoil used on the REMOS GX features stable flight
characteristics in rain conditions. So there are no special advisories
for flights within rain, we recommend to operate the aircraft like in
turbulent weather conditions (see "Approach in turbulent weather
conditions).
Approach in the slip configuration
If a high descent rate is required on final, we recommend to conduct
a slip maneuver. In no case, push the control stick forward, this will
cause higher airspeeds and result in a missed approach! Conducting
an approach in the slip configuration will not require special skills,
nevertheless, if not yet familiar with the aircraft we recommend to do
this exercise only when accompanied by a experienced flight
instructor for the first time.
10 Touch Down
Touch down under normal conditions
Landing the REMOS GX is much easier than landing many other
aircraft. The aircraft has very good low speed characteristics and so
is very controllable all the way through the landing phase. After a
good approach has been conducted the REMOS GX does not
require much action to result with a perfect touch down. It is
important to establish a safe and stable airspeed during the
approach.
