NOTE
If
disorientation
precludes
a
visual determination
of
the
direction
of
rotation,
the
symbolic
airplane
in
the
turn
coordinator
may
be
referred
to
for
this
information.
Variations
in
basic
airplane
rigging
or
in
weight
and
balance due
to
installed
equipment
or
right
seat
occupancy
can cause
differences
in
behavior,
particularly
in
extended
spins.
These
differences
are
normal
and
will
result
in
variations
in
the
spin
characteristics
and
in
the
spiraling
tendencies
for
spins
of
more
than
2
turns.
However,
the
recovery
technique
should
always
be used
and
will
result
in
the
most
expeditious
recovery
from
any
spin.
Intentional
spins
with
flaps
extended
are
prohibited,
since the
high
speeds
which
may
occur
during
recovery
are
potentially
damaging
to
the
flap/wing
structure.
LANDING
NORMAL
LANDING
Normal
landing
approaches
can
be made
with
power
on or
power
off
with
any
flap
setting
desired.
Surface
winds and
air turbulence
are
usually
the
primary
factors
in
determining
the
most
comfortable
approach speeds.
Steep
slips
should be avoided
with
flap
settings
greater
than
20°
due
to
a
slight tendency
for
the elevator
to
oscillate
under
certain
combinations
of
airspeed,
sideslip
angle,
and
center
of
gravity loadings.
Actual touchdown
should be
made
with
power
off
and
on
the
main
wheels
first
to
reduce the
landing
speed
and
subsequent
need
for
braking
in
the
landing
roll. The
nose
wheel
is lowered
to
the
runway
gently
after
the
speed
has diminished
to
avoid
unnecessary
nose
gear
loads.
This
procedure
is
especially
important
in
rough
or
soft
field
landings.
