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 />
