LANDING:

The stall speed is ≈90 kt so land at ≈100 kt. Enable the brakes before of directly after landing and don't slam the aircraft down on the runway because it lacks suspension and can take damage.

FEATURES:

G1000 NXi Glass cockpit
The glass cockpit is based on the G1000 NXi and includes an artificial horizon that includes: climb/decent rate, Speed (in kt), Altitude (in ft), Heading and a velocity vector. It also includes an altitude based dynamic map that displays the autopilots path to the waypoint. Press [e] on the map to show the waypoint location.

Autopilot and Altitude Hold
Use the large keypad above the co-pilot to input coordinates for the Autopilot which can be activated by pressing [4]. It is recommended to use the autopilot together with the altitude hold and that is activated by [5]. The aircraft will then hold the current altitude until you either deactivate it or input a new setpoint altitude using the keypad in the middle.

Stall warner / Brake indicator
If you are stalling a buzzer will sound and a red light will start flashing in the cockpit. The light will be yellow if the brake is activated.

Automatic heater
