Landings Flashcards
What is best way to use your peripheral vision?
Moving your eyes only, not your head!
Have an aimpoint far-off in distance at end of Runway on each side!
It is ok to bleed off 5kts once below 25’ in calm conditions? true/false?
True
Your ‘over’ the fence!
What is main reference for the flare?
Look at where the Horizon intersects the side of the nose cowling
-Similar to climb PA
-Wings and Horizon= Aoa
What is a good altitude to start a flare?
10’
Go to level flight, then Tail-low touchdown
What are my priorities after touchdown?
Keep tailwheel between main gear
Keep wings level (aileron)
Stick back
Partial Flap Retraction
Keep looking outside!
In a crosswind landing should I use more aileron into wind as the speed decreases on landing rollout?
Yes
End with full aileron into wind
What helps you float?
Ground Effect
Ground is killing some induced drag at your High Aoa, by not letting wing vortices reach top of wing, i.e. more laminar flow.
When operating on backside of Drag Curve, what controls ROD?
…Power..
and Elevator controls ias via Aoa changes
What percentage of induced drag is reduced by flying at 2’?
48%
At 18’ above ground how is my induced drag reduced?
8%!
At 30’ Ground Effect vanishes…
How long should I accel in Ground effect?
Until clean at Vx or Vy
How many seconds is that?
When is ‘Spot’ landing technique most useful?
Sloping terrain
visual illusions
Short Field Ops
What are components of a ‘Spot’ Landing technique?
Constant ias
Constant aimpoint
Use throttle to control aimpoint
What is the difference between Vapp and over the Fence?
about 5 kts less
1.25 Vs to 1.15 Vs
under stable conditions
+1/2 Gusts when present!
What is the range of acceptable approach Paths?
F3 slope 3-5deg
F4 slope 2-4deg
60kts and 6deg gives XX Rod
600ft per nm
60kts is 1nm per min
600 FPM
60kts and 2deg gives XX Rod
200fpm
At 60kts groundspeed your ROD in FPM= ?
Glideslope Angle
Due to 1/60 Rule
What does my GroundspeedX5 as a ROD give?
3 deg path
What does my GrounspeedX8 as a ROD give?
=4.5deg slope, which is close to a max elevator authority flare at 1.2Vs to avoid a hard landing.
Post it note 1” above Dash is helpful as…
Aimpoint! That will be a higher PA than cruise flight, any corrections in 1/2” increments only!
Where do you put your aimpoint on short Runways?
100’ prior to Rwy (i.e. desired touchdown point) Always plan to land 100’ past aimpoint, be consistent!
What is acceptable size of my Touchdown box?
Minus 0 & +200’
When doint a short-field landing, additional briefing item?
Select a Go-Around Point
Point after which safe landing is not assured!
