Landing Procedures.
VFR Landing briefing procedure.
Announce verbally"
1. Type of Approach & Landing Runway
2. Aiming & Touchdown Point
3. Wind Direction & Speed Pattern Altitude
4. Go-Around Criteria & Plan!
Example: “This will be a normal flaps full landing on runway 13 with an intended
touchdown point of the one thousand foot markers, aiming point will be 3 stripes prior, we
can expect a left crosswind of 5 knots”.
Stabilized Approach "
Definition: A stabilized approach is one in which the pilot establishes and maintains a
constant angle glide-path towards a predetermined point on the landing runway. It is based
on the pilot’s judgment of certain visual cues, and depends on a constant final descent
airspeed and configuration (FAA-H-8083- 3A, p.8-7).
Approach Gust factors.
Slightly higher approach speeds should be used under turbulent or gusty wind conditions.
Add 1⁄2 the gust factor to the normal approach speed. For example, if the wind is reported 8
gusting to 18 knots, the gust factor is 10 knots. Add 1⁄2 the gust factor, 5 knots in this
example, to the normal approach speed.
