NORMAL LANDING
Prior to entering the traffic area, slow the aircraft to 200-250 KIAS in a clean
configuration.
Cross the threshold with final flap setting and control forces trimmed. Coordinate
PCL and pitch attitude to maintain proper airspeed and rate of descent.
Retard the PCL to IDLE once landing is assured. Momentary actuation of the stick
shaker may occur just prior to touchdown. Airspeed will be dissipated in the flare,
and touchdown will normally occur approximately 7 knots below the landing
approach speed.
Upon touchdown, smoothly lower the nose gear to the runway once airspeed is
below 80 knots unless needed to affect stopping distance.
If nose wheel shimmy occurs after the nose wheel contacts the runway, apply back
stick pressure to relieve the weight on the nose wheel, then gently release
pressure to re-establish nose wheel contact with the runway.
Use rudder and ailerons to maintain directional control.
Continue to apply brakes as required but avoid differential braking during high-
speed portion of landing rollout. N1 will automatically reduce from flight idle (67%)
to ground idle (60%), approximately 4 seconds after touchdown.
Engage nose wheel steering as required once taxi speed is achieved.
TOUCH AND GO LANDING
Upon touchdown, smoothly advance the PCL to MAX. Anticipate a slight amount of
right rudder as torque increases. Rotate at rotation speed.
The landing gear may be left down when remaining in the pattern, but the pilot must
observe the maximum gear extended speed.
After liftoff, proceed with the After Take-off checklist.
CROSSWIND LANDING
Crosswind landings require only a slight adjustment of landing technique. Crab as
necessary while in the pattern to accommodate crosswind component.
Once transitioned to final, establish a wing low attitude into the wind to counter
drift, and maintain runway alignment with rudder. Maintain the wing low attitude
and rudder input throughout the flare.
