. • The POH has the recommended approach speed. • Our industry has historically used 1.3 times Vso as guide for a safe approach speed. • For our light weight LSA a better formula is 1.5 times Vso. • The Sport Cruiser’s Vso is 28 knots. 1.5 times Vso would have you approach at 42 KIAS. • 55 KIAS on approach is better with a touch down speed of 40 knots.
DO NOT FLY WHEN THE CROSSWIND EXCEEDS 6 KNOTS UNTIL YOU HAVE 10 HOURS IN AN LSA
THERE IS NOT ENOUGH WIND PASSING OVER THE AILERONS TO CONTROL AN LSA IN A CROSSWIND IF YOU DO A FULL STALL LANDING
DO NOT DO FULL STALL LANDINGS IN AN LSA UNTIL YOU HAVE 10 HOURS IN LSAS AND THEN ONLY WHEN THE WIND IS CALM OR STRAIGHT DOWN THE RUNWAY.
