Aerosoft Robin DR400 140 1.00
Page 5
There is one thing you should not do however and that’s slip while pulling the nose up. The fuselage will block
airflow over the most effective part of the wing and things can get exciting rather fast.
As said flying the Robin is not hard, here is a highly condensed version of the normal procedures:
 Take off from asphalt: flaps in, full throttle, rotate around 100, take of at 120, climb at 150
(or with an even easier method: flaps in, full throttle, rotate at 130, climb at 150)
 Take off from grass or short take off: flaps 1, full throttle, pull to unload the nose wheel, lift off,
accelerate, climb with 130
 Cruise flight: RPM as needed (max 75% power), lean mixture!
 Landing: flaps full, aproach speed 130-140, after touch down ’plant’ the nose wheel down (to unlock
it).
Some peculiarities:
 RPM indicator in the D-EVEM shows red line @ 2500. This was the actual situation when the sim
model was released. It is due to noise reduction in the Netherlands (where it was registrated as PH-
SRW) and has nothing to do with the engines limits
 Fuel gauge reads 0 when fuel tank is 100% full. Something weird on some Robins. When fuel level
sinks, the gauge begins to work.
