Great Planes Learjet 40 Kit - GPMA0439 - Manual (Page 40)

Landing is straightforward with no tricky tendencies. Just cut
the power to a reliable idle, raise the nose slightly, and the
Learjet will naturally bleed off airspeed. Once the Learjet has
slowed down, lower the landing gear (if using retracts), then
control your descent with power. Upon the final approach, if
you find that you must add power, do so gradually. Just
before touchdown, gradually feed in up elevator to flare the
model a few inches above the runway. Plan to land slightly
faster than stall speed on the main wheels first, as this is the
smoothest way to land your Learjet.
In the event of a "dead stick" landing where you may not
make it to the runway, leave the gear retracted (if so
equipped) until the last possible moment to help stretch your
glide. If you definitely won't make the runway, and no other
smooth surface is within range, leave the gear retracted and
make a belly landing on the softest surface you can find. It's
easier to patch scuffed MonoKote than having to repair
damaged landing gear mounts and retract mechanisms.
Have a ball! But always stay in control and fly in a
safe manner.
GOOD LUCK AND GREAT FLYING!
