## AMC to Appendix Q, (SAL) 25.5 Safe operational and flight characteristics

(a) For the approach demonstrations required by (SAL) 25.5(a), due account should be taken of:

(1) The systems’ aspects of the power/thrust levers being at idle (e.g. arming of ground lift dump);

(2) The most adverse flight idle power/thrust (e.g. effects of engine bleeds or FADEC idle power/thrust control); and

(3) The effects on controllability from the use of auxiliary drag devices such as flight spoilers (e.g. increased stall warning and stall speeds, loss of manoeuvrability).

(b) For the flare, touchdown and landing demonstrations required by (SAL) 25.5(a), there should not be any occurrence of:

(1) Stall warning;

(2) Tail strike; or

(3) Any other characteristic that would interfere with the completion of the landing (e.g. automatic thrust increase).

(c) For the go-around demonstrations required by (SAL) 25.5(e) and (i), due account should be taken of time delays associated with automatic or manual retraction of auxiliary drag devices.
