1.
Brief before landing and short-field landing checklist before entering the traffic pattern
2.
Enter the pattern at or below 120 KIAS
3.
Downwind abeam midfield extend gear and verify 3 green (no red), check visually
4.
Downwind abeam landing aim point reduce power to apx 15”, extend flaps 10, pitch for
100 KIAS (begin descent apx 500 fpm)
5.
GUMPS check (Must be below
100
KIAS before moving props to high RPM)
6.
Turn base, extend flaps 20, pitch for 90kts, GUMPS check
7.
Turn final, extend full flaps, GUMPS check, maintain
85
KIAS (blue line)
Announce:
“Blueline”/ “GUMPS”
At 400’ AGL announce:
“Gear Down, Stabilized”
; if not stabilized at any point,
commence go-around before descending further
8.
When stabilized on final, reduce airspeed to 76 KIAS—maintain constant power,
airspeed, and angle of attack
9.
Close throttles slowly in the flare-- touchdown with little or no floating

1.
Smoothly
add full power
2.
Increase pitch to establish climb/ stop descent
3.
Flaps — UP incrementally
4.
Gear-- UP when positive rate of climb is established
5.
Climb at
85
KAIS until 1000’ AGL
Announce:
“Blueline”
6.
Cowl Flaps— Open
7.
6 T’s (missed approach) or Report Go-around
