Landing Knowledge Flashcards
When should the landing config be established?
- Early on the final approach
- By the FAF on an instrument approach
Prior to calling for/selecting the final flap setting what MUST be checked?
Flight spoilers are FULLY retracted
At what speed must the reversers be at 30% N1?
60kts
At what speed can the flight controls be exchanged?
<60kts
How do you verify that spoilers are set to 0
Spoiler Lever
When is the FO required to maintain lateral control during roll out on a crosswind landing?
With aileron by the CP when briefed
When is Idle Reverse Thrust Landing (IRTL) prohibited?
- Wet/Contaminated runways
- RRC <5 reported
- Overweight landings
- ANY Tailwind component exists
- Braking action 7500ft without reverser credit
What additional conditions would restrict the use of Idle Reverse Thrust Landing?
- When excessive BTMS temps may be encountered
- High altitude airports with high ambient temps
- Landing traffic close behind
- LAHSO ops
How is the stopping distance minimized on wet or contaminated runways?
- Make a firm touchdown
- Apply max reverse thrust (Symmetrical)
- Apply firm and symmetrical brake pressure (No pumping)
- Maintain runway centerline with rudder
Who has the final authority to accept or decline a LAHSO clearance?
PIC
When should a LAHSO be declined?
When it compromises safety
What is the required WX to accept a LAHSO clearance?
VASI/PAPI: 1000ft 3SM
Otherwise: 1500ft 5SM
What runway conditions prohibit LAHSO?
-Wet/Contaminated
What distance is required for a LAHSO?
Available landign distance must be greater than what is on the TLR (Dispatch Release)
What is required for a night LAHSO?
FAA-Approved LAHSO night lighting system installed and operating
What is the maximum performance landing procedures?
- Full flaps (45)
- Cross threshold at 50ft and at Vref
- Avoid extended flair
- Apply MAX reverse thrust
- After MLG have touched, lower nosewheel immediately
- Firm and steady MAX brakes until plane reaches safe taxi speed
What factors increase landing distance?
- Unstabilized approach
- Crossing RWY threshold above Vref
- Crossing RWY threshold above screen height
- Extended flare
- Touching down beyond touchdown zone
- Improper application of available deceleration devices
How much would landing distance increase at 10kts above Vref?
20%
How much would landing distance increase at 100ft above threshold?
35%
How much would landing distance increase by extending the flare by 3 seconds?
25%
How much would an unstablized approach 10kts above Vref and 100ft above threshold increase landing distance?
80%
What factors would direct you to consider and overweight landing?
- Runway and perf landing weight factors
- Approach weather and runway conditions
- Tire speed limit
- Status of aircraft(Anti-skid/brakes/spoilers)
- Time and altitude needed to burn off fuel vs weather/traffic/ and or need to land
At touchdown, what is the maximum rate of descent for an overweight landing?
< 360fpm
Who performs the overweight landing?
Captain
