Pedals – set NEUTRAL before touching ground with the nose wheel (in cross-wind
conditions).
7. Brakes – ENGAGE as required. Avoid braking at a high speed or with nose wheel
up!
8. Flaps – RETRACT.
5.13 Short/soft field landing
1. Flaps – EXTEND FULLY.
2. Approach distance – REDUCE by side slipping when clear of obstacles.
3. Approach speed on final – 90 km/h (56 mph, 49 kts), +10 km/h (6 mph, 5 kts) in rain or
strong turbulence.
4. Direction – ALIGN the airplane WITH THE RUNWAY using rudder pedals.
5. Side drift – ELIMINATE by banking against the drift (crosswind, if any).
6. Flare – start at 5 m (15 ft), level off at approximately 0.3 m (1 ft).
Gradually reduce bank and side drift while flaring and leveling off.
7. Throttle – IDLE.
8. Touchdown – at minimum speed at the beginning of the runway. In cross-wind conditions
– maintain banking into wind till touching the runway with one of the wheels.
Avoid touching ground with the tail.
9. Flaps – RETRACT.
10.Yoke (Stick) – HOLD to reduce the speed and PUSH gently to lower the nose wheel
slowly. Pedals – set NEUTRAL before touching ground with the nose wheel (in
cross-wind conditions).
11. Brakes – soft field: DO NOT USE;
short field – ENGAGE as required.
Avoid braking at a high speed or nose wheel up!
5.14 Balked landing
1. Throttle – gradually FULL POWER.
2. Descent – DISCONTINUE.
3. Speed – accelerate to at least 100 km/h (62 mph, 54 kts) flying level.
4. Climb – at 100 km/h (62 mph, 54 kts).
5. Flaps – RETRACT SLOWLY at safe altitude.
