Mooney Aircraft MARK 21 - Page 36

2. The Mark 21 re~iirm very little altitude to make a transi-
tion from
a glide to a lading attitude. A slight addition of
back pressure
is sufficient to stop the rate of descent.
It is recommend& that full Flaps be used on all landings, be-
cause of the added visibility over the nose that it affords. Flow-
ever, the use of full flaps tends to make art aircraft nose-heavy,
and it is therefore necessary to roll the trim well back to make
a good landing.
In
a normal approach for landing, the airplane: should be in
