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
Amplification
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
skidding.
