4.10 LANDING
CAUTION: Landings should be made with full flaps and airbrakes fixed in ½
extended position. Glideslope should be controlled with throttle. Landings
with less than full flaps are recommended in crosswinds or if the flaps fail to
deploy, or to extend the aircraft’s glide distance due to engine malfunction.
Normal Landing
Normal landings are made with full flaps and airbrakes fixed in ½ extended
position with power on or idle. Surface winds and air turbulence are usually
the primary factors in determining the most comfortable approach speeds
(60 - 65 KIAS).
