AIRCRAFT FLIGHT MANUAL STEMME S10, VARIANT S12
• Flaps AS REQUIRED (depending on airspeed)
• Throttle SET (max 5500 RPM, recommended
4300 - 5000 RPM)
• Fuel selector switch Fuel management as required
(right, left, or both tanks)
CAUTION
The S12 tends to y slightly right wing low during high speed cruise, due to
high engine torque caused by a high power setting, combined with a small
rolling moment due to sideslip at high airspeeds.
For power settings, speeds, fuel consumption and other data refer to section
5.3.1 Performance in powered-conguration.
WARNING
Engine RPM will increase at constant power setting with altitude at constant
airspeed! Above about 2000 m / 6600 ft altitude (ISA) engine RPM could exceed
the max. continuous limit of 5500 RPM for 100% engine power. Engine power
must be reduced as necessary to maintain engine RPM below max. 5500 RPM.
DESCENT IN POWER FLIGHT
Procedure with more than 50% MCP (Fast Speed Descent):
• PPC switch T/O or CRUISE AS REQUIRED
(depending on airspeed)
• Throttle More than 50 %
• Flaps AS REQUIRED (depending on airspeed)
• Cowl-Flaps AS REQUIRED (depending on engine
temperature)
• Attitude DOWN to achieve desired descent prole
and airspeed
