VI. Aerobatics and spinning

       (i)  Aerobatics
	    The speeds for the various aerobatics are the same as
	    those for aircraft without slats.  However, at the low
	    speeds at the top of a loop or half roll off the top, the
	    aircraft must be flown carefully to avoid a G stall.
       (ii) Spinning
	    The spinning characteristics are slightly different from
	    those of aircraft with slats in that the attitude is steeper
	    and the spin steadier.  The recovery action is the same as
	    that for aircraft with slats.

        VII.Landing

       (i)  The check list is the same as that for aircraft with slats.
       (ii) The recommended circuit speed is 160-170 knots,
	    depending on the weight.  The circuit should be made
	    wide so that the G during turns is kept low.
       (iii)If desired, full flap can be used while manoeuvring in the
	    circuit, in which case the speed can be reduced by 5-10
	    knots and a slightly smaller circuit made.
       (iv) Turn on to the final approach at the speed used for the
	    circuit, and aim to lower full flap as soon as possible.
	    Thereafter reduce speed progressively, and cross the air-
	    field boundary at the speed shown on the graph.
       (v)  The approach should be kept fairly flat so that the rate
	    of descent is moderate and the change of attitude during
	    the round-out is not large.  The amount of G involved in
	    a pronounced round-out following a steep approach at
	    low power, may cause a wing to drop.  Furthermore, if
	    the rate of descent is high, even though the attitude is
	    changed, the inertia of the aircraft will result in little
	    immediate change in the rate of descent.
       (vi) The aircraft should be flown on to the runway at or
	    about the speed at which the boundary is crossed.  After
	    touching down, lower the nosewheel on to the runway
	    and apply the brakes gently, increasing the braking effort
	    as necessary as the speed falls off.
       (vii)If this procedure is followed, touchdown speeds as high
	    as 150 knots can be used, when necessary, on a runway
	    2,000 yards long, even in conditions of little or no wind.
	    If a flapless landing is necessary, it can be done
	    under the same conditions without harsh use of the
	    brakes.
       (viii)When the runway is wet or slippery the brakes must be
	    used with caution because, if the wheels are locked, the
	    braking effort is considerably reduced and the aircraft
	    may skid.
