The purpose of the landing system is to set the aircraft in a
landing attitude for more consistent landings. This is
accomplished by selecting values for the elevator, flap and
spoiler — AUX 2 (if active) — to be activated when the land
switch is engaged. Note that the spoiler (AUX 2) can be mixed
in with the elevator and flap landing attitudes, but only in the
deployed or retracted positions. The landing system can also be
activated by a preset position of the throttle stick. Refer to the
Automatic Landing Attitude Section for more information on how
to select the preset throttle position.
Accessing and Utilizing the Landing System Feature
To access the landing system feature (refer to figure A):
1. Place the transmitter power switch in the ON (upper
position).
2. Press the UP and DN keys simultaneously to enter the
Function Mode.
3. Press either the UP or DN keys until “LANDING” appears in
the upper left portion of the LCD.
4. Press either the left or right CH key to position the cursor at
the desired function (i.e., ELEV, FLAP, SPOI, AUTO).
5. Press the + or - keys to set the value for flap and elevator
travel. The + key adds up flap/elevator and the - key adds
down flap/elevator. The input is adjustable from 0-250% for flap
and 0-125% for elevator. This results in a flap input from 0-60
degrees and an elevator input from 0-30 degrees.
Spoiler Coupling
Auxiliary 2 serves as the spoiler channel. Note that the spoilers
can be mixed in with the elevator and flap inputs, but only in the
deployed or retracted positions.
To activate Spoiler Coupling:
1. From the Flap Landing Value setting press either the left or
right CH key, moving the cursor to SPOI.
2. Press the + or - key to activate the spoiler.
Adjustment of the deployed and retracted positions of the spoiler
(AUX 2) is made through the Travel Adjustment (TRVL ADJ.) menu.
Automatic Landing Attitude
When the Automatic Landing Attitude Function is active, the
throttle stick will activate the landing system you have just set up.
Any point of throttle stick travel can be set as the “auto-land”
point. Once the throttle stick passes through this point and the
LAND switch is in the ON, or down, position, the landing
system will be activated. Thus, the elevator, flaps and spoilers
would be activated, if all were selected. If the flap mixing switch
is not in the LAND position, the throttle stick operation would
have no effect on the landing system.
