  • Page 138: Take-Off

    G3-8 MA FM 1209 Î R06 Take-Off Take-off under normal conditions 1. After the pre-flight check has been completed, extend flaps to 15° . Take-off may be performed without flaps, too, but this leads to higher take-off distances. 2. Ensure that the elevator trim is in the correct position. 3.

  • Page 139: Climb

    G3-8 MA FM 1209 Î R06 Climb Climb with Best Angle of Climb With engine set to full power, establish V , which is V = 39 kIAS X Flaps 15 (45 mph IAS) for flaps 15 deg and V = 51 kIAS (59 mph IAS) with X clean flaps up.

  • Page 140: Cruise

    When flying in gusty weather conditions, the normal operating airspeed V = 107 kIAS = 123 mph IAS should not be exceeded for safety reasons. The REMOS GX 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 141: Stall

    G3-8 MA FM 1209 Î R06 Stall The REMOS GX 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...

  • Page 142: Slip

    G3-8 MA FM 1209 Î R06 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 143 G3-8 MA FM 1209 Î R06 Gliding The aircraft can glide well with the engine off. Best glide ratios are achieved within an indicated airspeed of 60 kIAS (69 mph IAS). These speeds will establish a glide ratio of about 1:10 with the flaps retracted (0°...

  • Page 144: Descent

    G3-8 MA FM 1209 Î R06 Descent When descending from level flight it is important to monitor engine temperatures. During descent, the temperatures will decrease, which could cause engine failure or carburetor icing to develop. Therefore we strongly recommend that you not exceed the lower limits of these temperatures.

  • Page 145: Approach

    MTOW is 55 kIAS (63 mph IAS). Approach under tailwind conditions When on final approach with a tailwind component, the REMOS GX 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 146 Raindrops on the wing surfaces influence the aerodynamic characteristics of the airfoil; drag will increase while lift decreases. The airfoil used on the REMOS GX features stable flight characteristics in rainy conditions. Therefore, there are no special advisories for flights within rain. we recommend that you operate the aircraft as you would in turbulent weather conditions (see "Approach...

  • Page 147: Touchdown

    The aircraft has very good low speed characteristics and so is very controllable all the way through the landing phase. After a good approach has been conducted, the REMOS GX 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.
