CUB CRAFTERS SECTION 4
CC18-180 NORMAL PROCEDURES
4.4.3.6.1 Normal Landing
The normal landing in the CC18-180 is in a three-point
stalled condition. Adjust throttle and pitch attitude to
compensate for ground effect as the aircraft approaches
the runway. At approximately 10 feet AGL, smoothly
begin landing flare to attain a three-point attitude.
Maintain this attitude and adjust the throttle to accomplish
a smooth touchdown. Gradually bring the stick back,
keeping it back throughout the landing roll; maintain
directional control with rudder and differential braking, as
necessary.
It is possible to settle the aircraft on the ground at higher
speeds in a two-point configuration. The landing flare is
kept flat, aiming to place the main landing gear wheels on
the runway at a minimum sink rate. When the wheels
contact the ground, the stick must be moved forward to
counteract the pitching up reaction of the aircraft. After
the aircraft has slowed down, the tail may be brought
down with the stick. Bear in mind that the rudder will
begin to lose effectiveness as airspeed is reduced.
Maintain directional control. Apply brakes as necessary.
