Hi everyone

I started flying the Savannah S recently. I would sure appreciate any good tips from y'all. Especially some books,flight manuals, airmanship manuals recommendations.

Hi David,

 

Congratulations! I have been flying my Savannah S for over 10 years - it's a really enjoyable plane to fly. 

The appropriate manuals can be downloaded from ICP's website. 

 

What sort of information are you looking for? There are a number of Savannah pilots on this site. If you give us some background information about yourself (how many hours you have, what other planes have you flown, what is your "mission" flying the Savannah e.g. breakfast fly-ins, short hops, long cross country etc) then we should be able to offer relevant advice. 

 

Cheers,

Neil

Before flying the savannah s (7hrs currently), I flew, and still flying, the IS 28 B2 glider. Basically, after finishing the pilot school at Aeroclubul Romaniei, I wont be able to afford buying a savannah or rent an aircraft for an extended period of time, so I am not looking for some very specific documentstion. I just want to get better at this thing, thats all. I am looking for a good airmanship manual and a "mentality builder" manual. Also any tips for a beginner are more than welcome.

Thank you for your answer

 

Cheers, 

David

Hi David,

 

OK - so are there any specific areas of flying the Savannah that you want some tips on? I suspect you will already have found the Savannah glides like a brick! 

Does it have the 100hp or the 80hp Rotax, or something else?

Do you want stuff like speed over the fence on landing, flap usage etc?

 

Cheers,

Neil
