AIRCRAFT FLIGHT MANUAL STEMME S10, VARIANT S12
Procedure with less than 50% MCP (Deeper Descent):
• Airspeed Reduce by pitching up and slowly reduce
engine power to max. 140 kph/ 76 kt
• PPC switch T/O or CRUISE AS REQUIRED
• Throttle 50 % or less
• Flaps AS REQUIRED (depending on airspeed)
• Cowl-Flaps AS REQUIRED (depending on engine
temperature)
• Attitude DOWN to achieve desired descent prole
and airspeed of max. 140 kph / 76kt
• Airbrakes Extend as required
and / or
• Landing Gear Extend as required
CAUTION
Flying with less than 50 % MCP and at the same time a higher airspeed than
140 kph / 76kt will signicantly increase the wear and the temperature of the
clutch and its friction pads.
NOTICE
Glider conguration is recommended for long time descents. For gliding ight
refer to the corresponding chapter.
SLOW FLIGHT AND STALL BEHAVIOR IN POWERED CONFIGURATION
Approach to stall speed in powered conguration is indicated by an acoustic
warning, set about 5-8 kph / 3-7 kt above stall speed.
Speed should be increased immediately at acoustic stall warning onset.
Minimum speeds are given in section 5.2.2.1 Stall and minimum speeds in
powered-conguration for unaccelerated straight and level ight.
Procedures to recover from unintended stall or spin are given in section
3.4 Stall Recovery and 3.5 Spin Recovery.
