Does anyone have information on correct landing attitude of a Schleicher AS-K13?
A club I belong to ownes 2 AS-k13'S. We want to find information on the correct landing attitude of the glider. Our flight manual does not give the correct landing attitude (main wheel, tail wheel, tail and main, skid and main.) I have searched the net and can not find any information that was sourced from Schleicher Aircraft Corp. in regards to the correct attitude.
we are not looking for opinions the club has enough of those we are looking for sourced Schlieker information. Most sources (Germans) say tail and main first, but once again opinions are not enough. We need proof.

You'll touch down level on the main wheel. Just level out a couple of feet off the runway and add spoiler until you settle in. Hit the tailwheel first and you do some damage. It's just meant for ground handling mostly. Wont even stay together if its on the ground and you make a sharp turn on rollout. Never touch down skid first.

Touchdown on the main wheel with the skid just off the ground. Use the skid as a brake as the nose comes down.
