Landing may be made with any flap setting. Normally full flaps are
used, which reduces stall speed and permits slower speed at contact.
Maximum braking after touch-down is achieved by retracting the flaps,
applying back pressure to the wheel and applying pressure on the brakes.
However, unless maximum braking is needed or unless a strong crosswind
or gusty condition exists, it is best to wait until turning off the runway to
retract the flaps. This will permit full attention to be given to the landing
and landing rollout.
If a crosswind or high-wind landing is necessary, approach with higher
than normal speed and with zero to 25 degrees of flaps. Immediately after
touch-down, raise the flaps. During a crosswind approach hold a crab angle
into the wind until ready to flare out for the landing. Then lower the wing
that is into the wind to eliminate the crab angle without drifting, and use the
rudder to keep the wheels aligned with the runway. Avoid prolonged side
slips with a low fuel indication.
The
component during landing is 17 KTS.
