Approach
1. Approach speed:
Long final
- 65 KIAS to 75 KIAS.
Short final
- ≥ 62 KIAS.
2. Auxiliary electric fuel pump
- on.
3. Fuel selector
- fullest tank.
4. Throttle
- as required.
5. Wing flaps
- extend as required.
6. Trim
- as required.
7. Brakes - off (carefully check that the brake
stop-valve is off).
WARNING
If a fuel lift pipe is exposed to air, the pump will suck
air into the engine (from the empty tank) and engine
failure will result. When one tank is empty, or close to
empty, the fuel selector valve should be switched to
the fullest tank.
WARNING
It is not advisable to reduce the engine throttle control lever to minimum
on final approach or when descending from very high altitude. In such
cases the engine can become over-cooled, although unlikely, and a loss of
power may occur. Descent at increased idle (approximately 3000 rpm),
speed between 65 to 75 KIAS and verify that the engine instruments
indicate values within the permitted limits.
