Landing gear failure
TAURUS ELECTRO 25
Emergency procedures
REV. 0
Should the landing gear fail to lower, fasten your seatbelts tightly and perform a landing procedure
as normal. Use full flaps to have the minimum possible speed at touch-down.
Flare at the same altitude like you would normally and in the same manner. Avoid eventual obstacles
(bumps, fences etc. on the runway or strip where you are landing.
Flutter
Flutter is described as the oscillation of control surfaces. In most cases it is caused by abrupt control
deflections at speeds close or in excess of VNE. As it occurs, the ailerons, elevator or even the whole
aircraft start to vibrate violently.
Should flutter occur, pull on the stick (and reduce power immediately)!
WARNING! Fluttering of ailerons or tail surfaces may cause permanent
structural damage and/or inability to control the aircraft.
After a safe landing, the aircraft MUST undergo a series of check-ups performed
by authorised service personnel to verify airworthiness.
Exceeding VNE
Should the VNE be exceeded, reduce airspeed slowly and continue flying using gentle control deflections.
Land safely as soon as possible and have the aircraft verified for airworthiness by
authorised service personnel.
Parachute rescue system
Upon pulling the rescue system handle, the whole electrical system, including the propulsion
system, of the aircraft is disengaged immediately. See next page for further instructions.
