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 />
