Actual touchdown should be made with power off and on the main wheels
first to reduce the landing speed and subsequent need for braking. Gently
lower the nose wheel to the runway after airplane speed has diminished.
This is especially important for rough or soft field landings.

Short Field Landing

1. Flaps .........................................................................................................100%
2. Airspeed..............................................................................................79 KIAS
3. Power Lever...........................................................................AS REQUIRED
After clear of obstacles:
4. Power Lever....................................................................REDUCE TO IDLE
After touchdown:
5. Brakes.......................................................................................... MAXIMUM
For a short field landing in smooth air conditions, make an approach at 79
KIAS with full 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 to
reach idle just before touchdown and maintain the approach speed by
lowering the nose of the airplane.
Touchdown should be made power-off and on the main wheels first.
Immediately after touchdown, lower the nose wheel and apply braking as
required. For maximum brake effectiveness, retract the flaps, hold the
control yoke full back, and apply maximum brake pressure without skid-
ding.

Crosswind Landing

Normal crosswind landings are made with full flaps. Avoid prolonged slips.
After touchdown, hold a straight course with rudder and brakes as
required.
The maximum allowable crosswind velocity is dependent upon pilot capa-
bility as well as aircraft limitations. Operation in direct crosswinds of 21
knots has been demonstrated.

Balked Landing/Go-Around

In a balked landing (go-around) climb, disengage autopilot, apply full
power, then reduce the flap setting to 50%. If obstacles must be cleared
during the go-around, climb at the best angle of climb with 50% flaps. After
clearing any obstacles, retract the flaps and accelerate to the normal
flaps-up climb speed.
