POH is as follows;
Balked Landing (Go around) 1. Throttle - full power (max.5800 rpm) 2. Wing flaps - extend as needed 3. Trim - adjust as needed 4. Wing flaps - retract at height of 150 ft after reaching 120 km/h (65 KIAS) 5. Trim - adjust 6. Repeat circuit pattern and landing
Seems a perculiarly written go-around procedure. Is that a manufacturer's POH or a flying school document? Extending flap in a go-around is most odd. Similarly all this advice about trimming doesn't sound like a manufacturer's language as trimming should be normal airmanship? Also use of 150 ft seems a bit dodgy when most height restrictions are in whole numbers e.g. 200 feet. As for "
Repeat circuit pattern and landing" what a strange addition to a go-around procedure that is?
Not really, the requirement is for the test pilot to be able to prevent the wing drop exceeding specified amounts - that is test pilot, not just an instructor let alone a student pilot.
What is the specified limit of amount of wing drop (if any) at the point of stall for LSA certification requirements? Non LSA types? it shouldn't be a case of how cunning a test pilot is to prevent a wing drop. Either an aeroplane drops a wing at point of stall or it doesn't.
Is this at idle power? if not, how much power has to be used to meet certification requirements? Seems to me a grey area when it comes to LSA certification as against non LSA types.
