NORMAL PROCEDURES
SHORT FIELD LANDING
For
a
short
field landing in
smooth
air conditions, make
power off
approach
at 60
KIAS with
full
flaps.
(Slightly higher
approach
speeds should be used under turbulent air
conditions.)
lf
power
is
added
to
adjust glide path,
it
should be again reduced
to
idle
after
all approach obstacles are cleared, the approach speed
maintained
by lowering the nose of the airplane. Touchdown should be
made
with power off and on the main wheels
first.
lmmediately
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. Although
the
crab
or
combination method
of drift
correction may
be
used,
the wing
low
method gives
the
best control. After
tou-chdown,
hold
a
stiaight
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
15
knots has been demonstrated.
BALKED
LANDING
ln a
balked landing
(go-around)
climb, reduce the flap setting
to
20'
immediately after
full
power
is
applied. After
all
obstacles
are
cleared and
a
safe altitude and airspeed are
obtained,
the
wing
flaps should be retracted.
