To regain the speed gently move the nose down and adjust power at
desired speed.
4.8 LANDING
Contact airport via radio for traffic and runway in use (if necessary).
Adjust speed at 65 mph and enter in circuit. In final align to runway, reduce
the power to descend and keep the speed 60 – 65 mph. Keep the gyroplane
aligned to runway using the left pedal and control stick.
At 5 metres from the ground make a first flare to reduce the glide path and
reduce slightly the speed.
Close to the ground make a second flare with nose up to reduce the speed
and land with the main wheels. Once the main wheels touch the ground,
gently move progressively the control stick back to its rear stop until the
gyroplane stops.
Do not move the stick forward until the front wheel drops to the ground by
itself.
In all the procedure from the first reduction of power to the end of the land
be careful with the rudder pedals to keep the gyroplane properly aligned to
the runway.
