TURBULENCE IN FLIGHT

If turbulent air is encountered while in flight, slow the aircraft to
below 86 KIAS, V
airplane's structural integrity is not compromised. When slowed to
below V , high G forces from turbulence or gusts will cause the
A
airplane to stall before its structure is damaged.
Flight in light turbulent air may subject fuel in the wing tanks
to yaw moments that will move the fuel outboard away from
the quantity indicator tubes causing lower than normal
readings and may also result in fuel venting.

BEFORE LANDING

Prior to entering traffic pattern:
1. Harnesses -- SECURE
2. Airspeed -- 75 KIAS
3. Fuel -- CHECK QUANTITY
4. Secure Loose Items
5. Aux Fuel Pump – AS REQUIRED
Prior to entering the traffic pattern, ensure that the seat belts and
shoulder harnesses are secure, and verify the strobes lights are on.
Slow the airplane to 75 KIAS by reducing the throttle and
maintaining altitude. Verify that there is still ample fuel remaining in
each wing tank.

LANDING

On downwind leg:
1. Throttle -- SMOOTHLY TO IDLE
2. Airspeed -- 75 KIAS
3. Flaps -- Stage 1
4. Airspeed - 65 KIAS
5. Flaps - APPROACH (Stage 2)
When established on downwind, maintain proper side offset
distance from the runway by visually placing it on the airplane's
wingtip. Reduce the throttle to IDLE when the aircraft is abeam the
desired touchdown point. Continue to maintain pattern altitude until
reaching 75 KIAS. Select Takeoff, Stage 1, flaps and establish a
