    G3-8 MA FM 9408 - R01 Aircraft Ground Handling and Servicing Towing Due to the low weight of the REMOS GXiS , it is very easy to move the aircraft by hand on the ground. That’s why there is no special equipment for towing provided.

    G3-8 MA FM 9408 - R01 Aircraft Ground Handling and Servicing 8.10 Rigging a Folded Aircraft The REMOS GXiS is manufactured to the highest quality standards. All components are very precise and provide the maximum aerodynamic quality. It is therefore strongly recommended that you be very careful when assembling or disassembling components such as the wings, stabilizer and other parts.

  • Page 202: Take-Off

    G3-8 MA FM 9409 - R01 Take-Off Take-off under normal conditions (comfort take-off) 1. After the pre-flight check has been completed, taxi into position. Standard take-off is with flaps up, on grass select flaps 15°. 2. Elevator trim in take-off position, i.e. 2/3 up. 3.

  • Page 203: Climb

    G3-8 MA FM 9409 - R01 Climb Climb with Best Angle of Climb With engine set to full power, establish V = 50 kIAS for any flap setting. At this airspeed, the aircraft will achieve the steepest angle of climb. During climb it is essential to monitor oil and water (CHT) temperatures.

  • Page 204: Cruise

    Cruise in gusty conditions When flying in gusty weather conditions, the normal operating airspeed V = 107 kIAS should not be exceeded for safety reasons. The REMOS GXiS offers very stable flight characteristics even in heavy weather conditions. Cruise in rain or with dirty aircraft Raindrops and bugs affect the performance of the aircraft.

  • Page 205: Stall

    G3-8 MA FM 9409 - R01 Stall The REMOS GXiS is fully controllable when flying at a wide range of airspeeds. At airspeeds below the lower speed limit, the aircraft will display very stable stall characteristics. If the airspeed is reduced by the pilot gradually pulling back on the control stick, aerodynamic buffet will occur, indicating that the aircraft is approaching the stall speed.

  • Page 206: Slip

    G3-8 MA FM 9409 - R01 Slip The slip is a very stable flight condition and is also very easy to perform. This maneuver is used to increase aerodynamic drag to enable a high rate of descent. Before establishing a slip, you have to ensure that the airspeed is within the required limits.
  • Page 207 G3-8 MA FM 9409 - R01 Gliding The aircraft can glide well with the engine off. Best glide ratios are achieved within an indicated airspeed of 60 kIAS. These speeds will establish a glide ratio of about 1:11 with the flaps retracted (0° position).

  • Page 208: Descent

    G3-8 MA FM 9409 - R01 Descent When descending from level flight it is important to monitor engine temperatures. During descent, the temperatures will decrease. The water cooling system has a thermostat installed, hence the water temperature will not drop too much. However, the oil system does not has a thermostat installed, therefore some power may be needed to maintain safe oil temperatures.

  • Page 209: Approach

    1,000 lb. Approach under tailwind conditions GXiS When on final approach with a tailwind component, the REMOS does not require different approach or flare procedures than those used in calm or headwind conditions. However, you do have to keep in mind that the landing distance will increase significantly.
  • Page 210 In doubt or without an urge to achieve shortest landing distance as GXiS possible, or when not yet familiar with the REMOS , it is recommended to keep a higher target airspeed. This will give you a reserve airspeed to balance any unexpected deviations in altitude and heading.

  • Page 211: Touchdown

    The aircraft has very good low speed characteristics and so is very controllable all the way through the landing phase. After a good GXiS approach has been conducted, the REMOS does not require much action to land with a perfect touch down. It is important to establish a safe and stable airspeed during the approach.
