BOUNCED LANDING RECOVERY
The key factor for a successful landing is a stabilized approach and
proper thrust/flare coordination. Do not extend the flare at idle thrust as
it will significantly increase landing distance. Reducing to idle before
the flare will also require an increase in pitch. Flaring high and quickly
reducing thrust to idle can cause the plane to settle abruptly. Do not
apply stabilizer trim during the flare.
When a light bounce occurs, maintain or re-establish a normal landing
attitude. Increasing pitch can lead to a tail strike. Beware of the
increased landing distance and use power as required to soften the
second touchdown. When a more severe bounce occurs, initiate a
go-around – do not attempt to land. Press the go-around button and
advance thrust levers to MAX. Hold the flare attitude until the engines
spool up, then reset stabilizer trim while completing normal go-around
procedures.
