Pattern Flashcards
Final turn speed Flaps landing
110 KIAS or on speed AOA
Final airspeed Flaps landing
100 KIAS or on speed AOA indication
When should landing flaps be used?
heavy weight flaps up landing distane is equal or greater than 80% of runway length
When are landing flaps not recommened, and why?
Crosswind greater than 10 knots, due to the potential stresses the side loads impart on the landing gear.
What is the landing flaps limiting crosswind?
25 knots
Final turn speed Flaps TO
115 KIAS or on speed AOA
Final airspeed Flaps TO
105 KIAS or on speed AOA
When are flaps TO recommended for full stop landings?
Greater than 10 knots crosswind. May be used in gusty winds
Final turn speed Flaps UP
120 KIAS or on speed AOA
Final airspeed Flaps UP
110 KIAS or on speed AOA
When may Flaps UP be used for full stop landings?
Crosswinds greater than 20 knots and landing distance is not a factor
