Pilot Briefing Schleicher ASK-21

LANDING TECHNIQUE.
Unlike the Blanik, you WANT to touchdown on both the main
wheel and tailwheel at the same time. At roundout / flare, hold the glider a bit nose up so
you land only on the main and tailwheels. Never let the nosewheel touch until the glider
slows and dips down on its own.
Correct landing attitude. Main & tailwheel will touch simultaneously. Nose held up.
Wrong! Nosewheel may touch, rebound up and start the three wheel P.I.O. / gallop!
Excess speed will also contribute to P.I.O.'s. Do not force the glider onto the runway.
