GUSTY WIND LANDING
During gusty wind conditions, increase landing threshold and touchdown speeds by
50% of the gust increment up to a maximum increase of 10 knots. LDG flaps are not
recommended during gusty wind conditions.
ANGLE OF ATTACK (AOA) LANDING
Angle of attack (AOA) landings utilize the normal landing pattern in while
maintaining optimum AOA throughout the final/approach turn.
On downwind, slow to optimum AOA (on-speed amber donut on indexer) prior to
the perch/abeam position. After the perch/abeam position, maintain on-speed AOA
with pitch and maintain controlled descent rate with power.
Maintain an appropriate angle of bank and line up on runway centerline.
On final, coordinate stick and power inputs to land at desired touchdown point while
continuing to fly on-speed AOA.
Round out and touch down normally.
MAXIMUM BRAKING
Maximum braking effectiveness is obtained with a steady application of brakes.
The physical limitations of the tire and brake system make it extremely difficult to
consistently achieve maximum braking action, particularly at high speeds where
the weight component is reduced due to lift.
A smooth, single application, increasing as airspeed decreases, offers the best
braking opportunity. Great caution should be used when braking at speeds above 80
KIAS.
Locked brakes are difficult to diagnose until well after the fact. Braking should be
discontinued at the first sign of directional control problems and then cautiously
reapplied.
At speeds below 80 KIAS, the chances of approaching maximum braking action are
greatly increased.
