Normal Conditions
Balked Landing
The amount of flap used during approach and landing should be
varied according to the runway surface, wind conditions and aircraft
loading. It is recommended generally to perform the touch down at
theminimumpossiblesafespeedconsistentwithexistingconditions.
Under normal conditions, that will be with full extended flaps and
approach speed of 65 KIAS. When landing in a strong wind,
particular in crosswind, it can be required to select a higher approach
speedandextendthe flaps only partially or not at all.
When landing, flare the aircraft, so that it flares out at approx. 0.5 m
overandparalleltotherunway surface.
While decreasing speed, increase angle of attack by easing the stick
back, so that the aircraft contacts with the lowest possible speed main

Stabilize at a speed of 65 KIAS. Retract flaps slowly upon reaching a
