Landing; Emergency Procedures; Go Around; Flame Out - BVM Bandit arf Assembly And Operation Instructions Manual

LANDING

A good landing follows a power controlled, constant speed, and constant sink rate approach from the
180 degree position. The Bandit ARF will require about a quarter to half throttle during the turn to final.
On final approach, reduce the power a few clicks more and fly a 2-3 degree glide slope.
Once over the end of the runway and within a few feet of the ground, reduce the power to idle and
flare for landing. If runway length is limited, preset (in the landing pattern) the brakes to ¾ on, adjust on
roll out.
If there is a crosswind component, put the ailerons into the wind and maintain heading with opposite
rudder for the roll out. Braking on a hard surface runway should be gentle. Come to a complete stop
before turning for taxi back.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

GO AROUND

Apply full power and rotate nose up to 5-10 degrees
Flaps to the take-off position, retract the speed brake.
Gear up
Climb to a safe altitude and re-enter the landing pattern.
NOTE: If fuel is very low, delay full flaps and landing gear until on final approach. Use speed brake as
needed.

FLAME OUT

Select take-off flaps
Land into the wind
Land gear up in the grass if runway is out of range.
Glide and landing speed will be determined by the weight of fuel remaining.

LOSS OF CONTROL

Shut the engine down. Pre-flight you helper on how to do this; you may be too busy trying to fly. Shutting
down the engine before impact is the most important procedure to prevent a fire.

LANDING GEAR WILL NOT EXTEND

Burn off excess fuel and land with take-off flaps. Shut the engine down prior to touchdown.

SPLIT FLAP CONDITION

Always extend the flaps at a safe altitude. If a violent roll occurs, retract them immediately. Fly a faster
than normal approach (about 10-15 mph) and shutdown the engine prior to flare out for landing.
