DIVING

  13a.  (i) The aeroplane becomes very tail heavy at high speed
            and must be trimmed into the dive in order to avoid
            the dangers of excessive acceleration in recovery.
            The forward trim should be wound back as speed is lost
            after pulling out.

       (ii) A tendency to yaw to the right should be corrected by
            use of the rudder trimming tab.

                          APPROACH AND LANDING

   14.  (i) During the preliminary approach see that the cockpit
            hood is locked open, and the emergency exit door is
            is set at half-cock position.  Take care not to get the
            arm out into the airflow.

       (ii) Reduce speed to 140 m.p.h. I.A.S. and carry out the 
            Drill of Vital Actions "U.M.P. and flaps".

      (iii) When lowering the undercarriage hold the lever fully
            forward for about two seconds.  This will take the
            weight off the locking pins and allow them to turn
            freely when the lever is pulled back.  The lever
            should then be pulled back smartly to the down
            position; if it cannot be pulled fully back, hold
            it forward again for at least two seconds.  If it
            becomes jammed it may generally be released by a
            smart blow of the hand.  If this fails it is
            necessary to take the weight of the wheels off the
            locking pins, either by pushing the nose down
            sharply or by inverting the aeroplane.  The lever
            can then be pulled straight back.
