LANDING (Continued)
SHORT FIELD LANDING
For short field landings, make a power approach at 78 KIAS with the
PROP RPM lever at MAX (full forward) and with FLAPS LAND. After all
approach obstacles are cleared, reduce power to idle. Maintain 78
KIAS approach speed by lowering the nose of the airplane. Touchdown
should be made with the POWER lever at IDLE, and on the main
wheels first. Immediately after touchdown, lower the nose gear,
reposition the POWER lever against the spring in the BETA range, and
apply heavy braking as required.
For maximum brake effectiveness after all three wheels are on the
ground, hold full nose up elevator and apply maximum possible brake
pressure without sliding the tires.
To minimize propeller blade erosion or possible
propeller blade damage, reverse thrust should be used
only when necessary to shorten the ground roll.
Bringing the propeller out of reverse before
decelerating through approximately 25 knots will
minimize propeller erosion.
