Short Field Landing Flashcards
What do we need to consider for short field landing in general?
•Wind conditions, landing surface and obstructions •Headwind may shorten the distance •Landing distance •Descent angle may be steeper than a normal approach. •Approach must be stabilized •Avoid excessively slow airspeed
What is the approach speed on downwind?
Slow to 2100 RPM, Approx 85 KIAS, maintain traffic pattern altitude
Where should be the touchdown points?
Select a touchdown point (normally 1000 foot marks for practice) Or the numbers for commercial level
Where should be the aiming point?
usually 1 or 2 center lines before touchdown point
When can we start to descend and what is the setting?
When abeam the numbers start normal approach and landing procedures Reduce power to approx. 1700, slow to 75- 80KIAS, select Flaps 1 (10°)
What is the Base setting?
Flaps 2 (25°) slow to 70 KIAS on base leg
What is the final setting?
Flaps 3 (40°) slow to 65 KIAS on final, stabilize the approach by 400 feet
What is the procedures after touchdown?
Retract aps after touchdown. Simulate and announce “Max Braking” for training and check ride purposes.
What happens If you have access speed?
Excess airspeed will cause floating and cause you to miss your touchdown spot
What is the standards?
ouch down at or within 100 feet of the specified point, No drift with the longitudinal axis aligned with and over the center of the landing surface
What are the Common errors?
Improper use of landing performance data and limitations Failure to establish approach landing configuration at appropriate time or in proper sequence Failure to maintain a stabilized approach
What is the disadvantages steeper approach?
high-than-normal descent rate, you really need to judge flare.
