Keep flaps up. Take-off may also be performed with flaps 15deg, but this leads to higher pilot workload and the slightly shorter take-off distance with flaps 15deg is often not a limiting criterion.
  • Page 167 G3-8 MA FM 1209 – R07 Climb Climb with Best Angle of Climb With engine set to full power, establish V = 50 kIAS for all flap settings. 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 168 When flying in gusty weather conditions, the normal operating airspeed V = 107 kIAS 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 169 G3-8 MA FM 1209 – R07 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 the pilot gradually pulling back on the control stick, aerodynamic buffet will occur, indicating that the aircraft is approaching the stall speed.
  • Page 170 G3-8 MA FM 1209 – R07 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 171 G3-8 MA FM 1209 – R07 Glide 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 172 G3-8 MA FM 1209 – R07 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 173 Or use all your guts. 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 174 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.
  • Page 175 The aircraft has very good low speed characteristics and as such is easily 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.
