4.6 Descent and landing
Begin with your approach early enough in order to set the correct landing
configuration without hurrying. Activate carburettor heat.
The electrical fuel pump must be switched on.
In order to be able to steeply approach short landing strips, use flap
position III (landing). Moreover, the glide path can be effectively shortened
by a sideslip.
Before proceeding to flap position III reduce the speed below velocity Vfe
until 2009 .......................................................................... 57 kn (105 km/h)
since 2009 ......................................................................... 64 kn (117 km/h)
Favourably are about 48 - 54 kn (90 - 100 km/h).
On final approach with flap position III keep the speed at about 48 kn
(90 km/h) with the engine at idle.
The glide angle in flap position II (take-off/landing) is significantly more
shallow and thus the flare distance is much longer. The approach speed
should be about 57 - 59 kn (105 - 110 km/h).
At the height of approximately 10 ft (3 m) begin rounding out to the landing
flair. Begin final flair at the height of about 2 ft (0.5 m).
Landing speed is approx. 38 kn (70 km/h).
4.7 Shutting down the engine
Under normal conditions, the engine will have cooled down sufficiently
during descent and taxiing so that it can be shut down by turning off the
ignition. Shut off all electrical accessories (radio, transponder etc.) before
shutting down the engine.
