Short Field Approach & Landing Flashcards
Objective
To determine that the applicant exhibits satisfactory knowledge, risk management, and skills associated with a short-field approach and landing with emphasis on proper use and coordination of flight controls.
Tolerances
Maintain manufacturer’s published airspeed or in its absence not more than 1.3 VSO, ±5 knots with wind gust factor applied. Touch Down 100ft beyond specified point - Commercial. 200ft - Private +10/-5
Principles & Procedures
Used in relatively short landing area. Fly airplane at crucial performance capabilities.
Common Student Errors
Not calculating landing distances on paper correctly. Proper configuration, landing speed. Not using aerodynamic braking by applying full yoke back and immediately retracting flaps. Max braking with rudder pedals
