PART III - HANDLING
(d) Care should be taken during recovery action to ensure
that the ailerons are central as out-spin aileron may
hinder or prevent recovery. In-spin aileron is powerful
in assisting recovery but great care must be taken to
prevent development of a spiral in the same direction
or spin in the opposite direction.
CIRCUIT PROCEDURE AND LANDING
78. Circuit procedure
NOTE-460 lb. (60 gallons) of fuel should be allowed
for a circuit, landing and possible overshoot (see
para. 57 (g) (iii)).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
A.L.1 (a) Circuit speed
Para. 78 (a)
Page 76 With the undercarriage lowered fully, 6,500 r.p.m. and 38° flap (four
notches) give a comfortable speed of about 180 knots. To reduce
speed for joining the circuit, flap, within the limitations, can be used
successfully to augment the airbrake. Do not select more than one
hydraulic service at a time and allow the cycle of each hydraulic
operation to be completed before the next service is operated. The
undercarriage should only be selected down with the wings laterally
level.
