to cross the runway threshold at
V

+wind factor.
Landing
Refer to the profiles on pages 3D-43
and 3D-47.
With FULL flaps, cross the thresh-
old at 50 ft AGL with a speed of
V
REF
+wind factor.
Reduce thrust slowly to idle and
raise the nose slightly from the atti-
tude maintained on final approach.
With aft mounted engines, the nose
tends to rise as thrust is reduced and
thus requires little back pressure.
Maintain attitude and allow the air-
craft to fly onto the runway surface.
Upon touchdown, lower the nose-
wheel smoothly to the runway,
extend the speedbrakes, and apply
braking as necessary.
Monitor anti-skid for proper func-
tioning. To achieve maximum bene-
fit from the anti-skid system, do not
pump the brakes; instead, apply
steady pressure on the pedals. Use
nosewheel steering and differential
braking to maintain directional con-
trol, and deploy the thrust reversers.
Thrust Reversers
When thrust reversers are used,
extend speedbrakes upon touchdown
and lower nosewheel to the runway.
Pull the thrust reverser levers to the
REVERSE IDLE/DEPLOY posi-
tion. Check that the ARM,
UNLOCK, and DEPLOY lights illu-
minate before smoothly pulling the
thrust reverser levers aft to the
desired reverse thrust. If reverse
thrust is not needed, consider leav-
ing the reverser levers in the idle
thrust setting for FOD protection and
noise abatement.
Crosswind
On the final approach in a cross-
wind, either the crab approach or the
wing down method may be used.
Do not allow the aircraft to float
with power off prior to touchdown.
Fly to touchdown with little, if any,
flare. Deploy speedbrakes on touch-
down. Follow through the landing
roll with ailerons into the wind. The
aileron rudder interconnect can be
overridden with input forces. Use
nosewheel steering and differential
braking for directional control.
Touch-and-Go Landings
If touch-and-go landings are to be
practiced, they should be preplanned
and briefed. The thrust reversers and
speedbrakes should not be used on
landing. The PM should reset the
flaps to T.O. & APPR, set the stabi-
lizer trim in the takeoff range, and
confirm these settings with the PF
(Pilot Flying) before throttles are
advanced to takeoff power.
Contaminated Runways
Landing on a slick surface requires
careful consideration of many fac-
tors: type of runway surface,
approach hazards, aircraft weight/
speed, wind conditions, temperature,
ice, water, and snow. Correction fac-
tors can be found in the CAE Simu-
Flite Citation Bravo Operating
Handbook or in the AFM, Section
VII
. Do not rely on thrust reversers
to ensure a reduced stopping dis-
tance.
Exercise caution when using differ-
ential reversing on a slick runway.
Be prepared to return to REVERSE/
IDLE immediately if the aircraft
starts to slide sideways. Strong con-
sideration should be given for only
REVERSE/IDLE on slippery
surfaces.
NOTE:
In preparing for the Prac-
tical Test in the simulator, plan the
Circling Maneuver so that bank
angles of 30° and descent rates of
more than 1,100 fpm are never
exceeded. (Flying beyond these
parameters will result in an "Unsat-
isfactory" assessment during the
Practical Test).
