(iii)The aircraft must on all occasions be eased gently off the
	    ground.
       (iv) As the unstick speeds are a little higher than those of
	    aircraft fitted with slats, the take-off distances are
	    increased.  The increase in distance is not marked and is
	    not readily apparent when taking off from a 2,000 yard
	    runway.

        IV. Stalling

       (i)  Stalling in level flight :-

	    (a)  The stalling characteristics are much the same at all
	         weights irrespective of the position of the under-
	         carriage, flaps, and air brakes; and with or without
	         drop tanks.
	    (b)  With the flaps down, there is little warning of the
	         approach of the stall.  A slight buffeting is
	         discernible 5-10 knots before the stall.  With the
	         flaps up, a more noticeable buffet occurs commenc-
	         ing 5-10 knots before the stall.
	    (c)  At or near the stall there may be a nose-up change
	         of trim with a reduction in the stick force required
	         to maintain the attitude.  At the stall, either the rate
	         of descent increases markedly with the aircraft
	         remaining on a level keel, or the aircraft rolls fairly
	         quickly, usually to port, the nose yawing to the same
	         side.
	    (d)  The roll-with-yaw behaviour occurs most frequently
	         when the flaps are down.
	    (e)  Recovery is immediate when the control column is
	         eased forward, but the loss of height involved
	         before level flight is regained, is large.  During the
	         recovery period fractional amounts of G will cause
	         marked buffeting and care must be taken until the
	         speed has increased considerably.
	    (f)  Rudder is effective in checking the roll-with-yaw
	         motion; aileron is also effective, but whereas large
	         aileron movements are necessary, only a compara-
	         tively small amount of rudder is needed.
	    (g)  The stalling speeds together with recommended
	         approach speeds are shown graphically on the oppo-
	         site page.  It will be noticed that the presence of drop
	         tanks has a marked effect on the stalling speed.

       (ii) Stalling under G

	    (a)  The behaviour under G is practically the same as
	         that for the slatted aircraft; in all configurations,
	         warning is given by the onset of buffeting, the inten-
	         sity of which increases as the stall is approached.
