(Continued)
SHORT FIELD LANDING
For short field landings, make a power approach at 78 KlAS wtn the
propeller control lever at
MA%
(full forward) and w th full fla~s. Afler all
approach obstacles are cleared, reduce power to idle. Maintain 78
KlAS approach speed by lowering the nose of the airplane. Touchdown
should be made with the power lever at IDLE, and on the main wheels
first. Immediately after touchdown, lower the nose gear, reposition the
power lever against the spring in the BETA range, and apply heavy
braking as required.
For maximum brake effectiveness after all three wheels are on the
ground, hold full nose up elevator and apply maximum possible brake
pressure without sliding the tires.
The landing performance in Section
5
is based on the above
procedure. A reduction in ground roll of approximately 10% will result
from the use of reverse thrust (power lever full aft to provide increased
power from the gas generator and a reverse thrust propeller blade
angle).

CROSSWIND LANDING
For crosswind approaches, either the wing-low, crab or combination
method may be used. A flap setting between 10' and 30" is
recommended. Use a minimum flap setting for the field length. After
touchdown, lower the nose wheel and maintain control. A straight
course is maintained with the steerable nose wheel, ailerons, and
occasional braking if necessary.
