10.1 Flight Training Supplement<br />

Approa<strong>ch</strong> in turbulent weather conditions<br />

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

will give you a reserve airspeed to balance any unexpected<br />

deviations in altitude and heading. In more gusty conditions it may<br />

beneficial to stabilize the glide slope by keeping the flap setting to<br />

the 15° position.<br />

Approa<strong>ch</strong> in rain showers<br />

Raindrops on the wing surfaces influence the aerodynamic<br />

<strong>ch</strong>aracteristics of the airfoil, drag will increase while lift decreases.<br />

The airfoil used on the REMOS GX features stable flight<br />

<strong>ch</strong>aracteristics in rain conditions. So there are no special advisories<br />

for flights within rain, we recommend to operate the aircraft like in<br />

turbulent weather conditions (see "Approa<strong>ch</strong> in turbulent weather<br />

conditions).<br />

Approa<strong>ch</strong> in the slip configuration<br />

If a high descent rate is required on final, we recommend to conduct<br />

a slip maneuver. In no case, push the control stick forward, this will<br />

cause higher airspeeds and result in a missed approa<strong>ch</strong>! Conducting<br />

an approa<strong>ch</strong> in the slip configuration will not require special skills,<br />

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

this exercise only when accompanied by a experienced flight<br />

instructor for the first time.<br />

10 Tou<strong>ch</strong> Down<br />

Tou<strong>ch</strong> down under normal conditions<br />

Landing the REMOS GX is mu<strong>ch</strong> easier than landing many other<br />

aircraft. The aircraft has very good low speed <strong>ch</strong>aracteristics and so<br />

is very controllable all the way through the landing phase. After a<br />

good approa<strong>ch</strong> has been conducted the REMOS GX does not<br />

require mu<strong>ch</strong> action to result with a perfect tou<strong>ch</strong> down. It is<br />

important to establish a safe and stable airspeed during the<br />

approa<strong>ch</strong>.<br />
