Cessna 182 1973 - Landing and Spin Procedures

tion
are
presented
in
figure
6-2
as
calibrated
airspeeds
since
indicated
airspeeds
are
unreliable
near
the
stall.
SPINS.
Intentional
spins
are
prohibited
in
this
airplane.
Should
an
inadver-
tent
spin
occur,
the
following
recovery
technique
should
be
used.
(1)
Retard throttle
to
idle
position.
(2)
Apply
full
rudder
opposite
to
the
direction
of
rotation.
(3)
After
one-fourth
turn,
move
the
control wheel
forward
of
neutral
in
a
brisk
motion.
(4)
As
rotation
stops,
neutralize
rudder,
and
make
a
smooth
re-
covery
from
the
resulting
dive.
LANDING.
NORMAL LANDING.
Landings
should
be
made
on
the
main
wheels
first
to
reduce the
land-
ing
speed
and
the
subsequent
need
for
braking
in
the
landing
roll.
The
nose
wheel
is
lowered
gently
to
the
runway
after
the
speed
has
diminished
to
avoid
unnecessary
nose
gear
load.
This
procedure
is
especially
im-
portant
in
rough
field
landings.
SHORT
FIELD
LANDING.
For
short
field
landings,
make
a power-off
approach
at
69
MPH
with
40°
flaps
and
land
on
the main
wheels
first.
Immediately
after
touch-
down,
lower the
nose
gear
to
the
ground
and
apply
heavy
braking
as
re-
quired.
For
maximum
brake
effectiveness after
all
three
wheels
are
on
the
ground,
retract
the
flaps,
hold
full
nose
up
elevator
and
apply
max-
imum
possible
brake
pressure
without
sliding
the
tires.
CROSSWIND
LANDING.
When
landing
in
a
strong
crosswind,
use
the
minimum
flap
setting
re-
quired
for
the
field
length. Although
the
crab
or
combination
method
of
drift correction
may
be
used,
the
wing-low
method
gives
the
best
control.
After
touchdown,
hold
a
straight
course
with the
steerable
nose
wheel
and
occasional
braking
if
necessary.
