17
Q

Describe a short field landing

A

Commence with a normal full flap approach, at 200-300ft gradually reduce speed to 55kt using elevator, use elevator and power for a brief holdoff. On ground, cut power, lower nose wheel and apply brakes

Q

If the engine fails just after takeoff, what is the first thing to do?

A

Lower the nose
