4.5.5.1 LANDING
On short nal:
• Airbrakes AS REQUIRED
• Attitude Maintain WINGS LEVEL
• Directional control Stay on centerline if necessary and turn
the aircraft nose into the wind for drift.
• Elevator APPLY for touch-down in three-point
attitude.
CAUTION
Do not are too low (high landing gear)! Close to the ground maintain wings
level. Use rudder for directional control. Turn the aircraft nose back into the
runway direction by full rudder deection against the drift short before touch
down. Reduce speed to the minimum until touch down with main landing
gear and tail wheel simultaneously in three-point attitude.
Roll out after touchdown:
• Airbrakes FULLY EXTENDED and HOLD
• Elevator HOLD on aft stop
• Wheel brakes AS REQUIRED with caution
CAUTION
During roll out apply rudder cautiously, sensitivity is increased because pedals
actuate rudder and tailwheel.
O-eld landing: It is the pilot’s decision on whether to land with landing
gear up or down; decision depends on surface and status of selected area.
Several landings wheels-up have been performed on dry, solid, level and at
ground without any harm to the crew or damage to the aircraft (crew had
seat belts well fastened and tightened).
