Q

Standardized Flaps 40° Approach & Landing

A
  1. “Approach Checklist” 15NM from Destination
  2. 90 KIAS on downwind or traffic pattern
  3. Enter the traffic pattern at published TPA (typically 1,000’ AGL)
  4. “Before Landing Checklist” on downwind
  5. When abeam touchdown point, on extended base, or on extended final (when ready to descend out of pattern altitude): Reduce power to
    approx. 1700 RPM and select flaps 10˚
  6. Descend out of TPA at 70-80 KIAS
  7. Base leg, select flaps 20°, slow to 70 KIAS
  8. Base to final select Flaps 30°, Slow to 65 KIAS
  9. 65 KIAS until short final, Select Flaps 40° when landing is assured, slow to 60 KIAS until 10’ to 20’ above the runway

SHORT-Field Approach & Landing

A
  1. “Approach Checklist” 15NM from Destination
  2. 90 KIAS on downwind or traffic pattern
  3. Enter the traffic pattern at published TPA (typically 1,000’ AGL)
  4. “Before Landing Checklist” on downwind
  5. When abeam touchdown point, on extended base, or on extended final (when ready to descend out of pattern altitude): Reduce power to
    approx. 1700 RPM and select flaps 10˚
  6. Descend out of TPA at 70-80 KIAS
  7. Base leg, select flaps 20°, slow to 70 KIAS
  8. Select flaps FULL and slow to 60 KIAS on final when landing is assured
  9. Close throttle slowly during flare - touch down on intended touchdown point with little or no floating
  10. Prevent the nosewheel from slamming onto the runway
  11. Retract the flaps after touchdown
  12. Simulate and announce “Max Braking” for training and checkride purposes

SOFT-Field Approach & Landing

A
  1. “Approach Checklist” 15NM from Destination
  2. 90 KIAS on downwind or traffic pattern
  3. Enter the traffic pattern at published TPA (typically 1,000’ AGL)
  4. “Before Landing Checklist” on downwind
  5. When abeam touchdown point, on extended base, or on extended final (when ready to descend out of pattern altitude): Reduce power to
    approx. 1700 RPM and select flaps 10˚
  6. Descend out of TPA at 70-80 KIAS
  7. Base leg, select flaps 20°, slow to 70 KIAS
  8. On short final when landing is assured, select flaps 40° and slow to 65 KIAS
  9. Fly the airplane onto the ground, slowly transferring the weight from the wings to the main landing gear
  10. Touch down on intended touchdown point at minimum speed with a nose-high pitch attitude
  11. Keep the nosewheel off the ground as airplane slows by increasing elevator pressure
  12. Prevent nosewheel from rapidly falling by maintaining aft elevator pressure

Q

Go-Around / Missed Approach Procedure

A
  1. Increase throttle to full power
  2. Retract flaps to 20° (if > 20°) while simultaneously;
  3. Increase pitch to establish climb
  4. Retract flaps to 10° when airspeed is greater than 55 KIAS
  5. Establish VX or VY as appropriate
  6. Retract flaps to 0˚ at 65 KIAS and clear of obstacles
    (if no obstacles)
  7. “After Takeoff Checklist” out of 1,000’ AGL if departing the traffic pattern
