LANDING
NORMAL LANDING
Normal landing approaches can be made with power on or power off
with
any
flap
setting
within
the
flap
airspeed
limits.
Surface
winds
and
air
turbulence
are
usually
the
primary
factors
in
determining
the
most
comfortable
approach
speeds.
Steep
slips
with
flap
settings
greater
than
20°
can
cause
a
slight
tendency
for
the
elevator
to
oscillate
under
certain combinations of airspeed, sideslip angle, and center of gravity
loadings.
Landing
at
slower
speeds
will
result
in
shorter landing
distances
and
minimum
wear
to
tires
and
brakes.
Power
must
be
at
idle
as
the
main
wheels
touch
the
ground.
The
main
wheels
must
touch
the
ground
before
the
nosewheel.
The
nosewheel
must
be
lowered
to
the
runway
carefully
after
the
speed
has
diminished
to
avoid
unnecessary
nose
geal
loads.
This
procedure
is
very
important
for
rough
or
soft
field
ndings.
SHORT FIELD LANDING
For
a
short
field
landing
in
smooth
air
conditions,
approach
at
60
KIAS
with
FULL
flaps
using
enough
power
to
control
the glide
path.
Slightly
higher
approach
speeds
should
be
used
in
turbulent
air
conditions.
After
all
approach
obstacles
are
cleared,
smoothly
reduce
power
and
hold
the
approach
speed
by
lowering
the
nose
of
the
airplane.
The
main
wheels
must
touch
the
ground
before
the
nosewheel
with
power
at
idle.
Immediately
after
the
main
wheels
touch
the
ground,
carefully
lower
the
nosewheel
and
apply
heavy
braking
as
required.
For
maximum
brake
performance,
retract the
flaps,
hold
the
control
wheel
full
back,
and
apply
maximum
brake
pressure
without
skidding
the
tires.
