10.1 Flight Training Supplement<br />

8 Descent<br />

When descending from level flight it is important to wat<strong>ch</strong> engine<br />

temperatures. During descent, the temperatures will decrease, whi<strong>ch</strong><br />

could cause engine failures or carburetor icing to develop. So it is<br />

strongly recommended not to exceed the lower limits of these<br />

temperatures. In any case engage carburetor heating before<br />

descending.<br />

9 Approa<strong>ch</strong><br />

Approa<strong>ch</strong> under normal conditions<br />

Always land on the most suitable runway, consider the wind<br />

direction, size of the runway, obstacles on the approa<strong>ch</strong> etc. The<br />

recommended airspeed for approa<strong>ch</strong> is 75 mph (65 kts).<br />

Approa<strong>ch</strong> under tailwind conditions<br />

When making a final approa<strong>ch</strong> with a tailwind componen, the<br />

REMOS GX does not require different approa<strong>ch</strong> or flare procedures<br />

to that when flown in calm or headwind conditions, you do however<br />

have to keep in mind, that the landing distances will increase.<br />

Approa<strong>ch</strong> in crosswind conditions<br />

Crosswinds will not have a big effect to the flight <strong>ch</strong>aracteristics of<br />

the REMOS GX as long as cross-wind component stays within the<br />

maximum demonstrated speed up to 17 mph (15 kts). Performing a<br />

crosswind landing will not require above average piloting skills.<br />

Nevertheless, if not yet familiar with the aircraft, we recommend to<br />

initially exercise crosswind landings only when accompanied by an<br />

experienced flight instructor until sufficient experience has been<br />

gained.<br />
