5.9.3 Landing
Always judge, based on your experience, whether the available runway is of sufficient length for a normal
landing. Always make a realistic estimation and be ready to abort any landing.
At a height of about 50 feet, reduce the engine speed to idle. Maintain speed of 65-70 MPH until the flare.
When flaring at a height of 1.5 to 3 feet above the runway, allow the airspeed to decrease by gradually
pulling the control stick rearward. Ideally, the aircraft should touch down at a speed of about 40
– 45 MPH.
When landing with a significant crosswind component, do not set the flap to the landing position (FULL)
–
instead, use take-off setting to touch down at higher speed to ensure proper control over the aircraft
during the latter stages of the landing.
Entry speed for a side slip............... 70 MPH
