NORMAL
PROCEDURES
SHORT
FIELD
LANDING
For
a
short
field
landing
in
smooth air
conditions,
make
an
approach
at
62
KIAS
with
30°
flaps
using enough
power
to
control
the
glide
path.
(Slightly
higher
approach speeds
should
be used
under turbulent
air
conditions.)
After
all
approach
obstacles
are
cleared,
progressively
reduce
power
and
maintain
the
approach
speed
by lowering
the
nose
of
the
airplane.
Touchdown should
be
made
with
power
off
and
on
the main wheels
first.
Immediately
after
touchdown,
lower the
nose
wheel and
apply heavy braking
as
required.
For maximum brake
effectiveness,
retract
the
flaps,
hold
the control wheel
full
back,
and
apply
maximum
brake
pressure
without
sliding
the
tires.
CROSSWIND
LANDING
When
landing
in
a
strong
crosswind,
use
the minimum
flap
setting
required
for
the
field
length.
If
flap
settings
greater
than
20°
are
used
in
sideslips
with
full
rudder
deflection,
some
elevator
oscillation
may
be
felt
at
normal
approach speeds.
However,
this
does
not
affect
control
of
the
airplane.
Although
the crab
or
combination method
of drift
correction
may
be
used,
the
wing
low
method
gives
the
best control.
After
touchdown,
hold
a
straight
course
with
the steerable
nose
wheel
and
occasional
braking
if
necessary.
The maximum allowable
crosswind
velocity
is
dependent
upon
pilot
capability
as
well
as
airplane
limitations.
Operation
in
direct
crosswinds
of
1
5
knots has
been
demonstrated.
BALKED
LANDING
In
a
balked
landing
(go-around)
climb,
reduce the
flap
setting
to
20°
immediately
after
full
power
is
applied.
If
obstacles
must
be
cleared
during
the
go-around
climb,
reduce the
wing
flap
setting
to
10°
and maintain
a
safe
airspeed
until the
obstacles
are
cleared.
Above
3000
feet,
lean the
mixture
to
obtain
maximum
RPM.
After
clearing
any
obstacles,
the
flaps
may
be
retracted
as
the
airplane
accelerates
to
the
normal
flaps
up
climb
speed.
