5.15 LANDING
At threshold start your flair using standard techniques and reducing power to loose excessive
speed.
Touch down will be around 65 km/h in a two point landing keeping the nose high for
aerodynamic braking and avoiding unnecessary loads on the nose wheel until it falls slowly
down from itself and check brakes for proper function.
Keep speed under control and use differential brakes for steering to taxi in.
When landing in strong or gusty winds, land the aircraft at a higher speed without avoiding any
flotation down the runway.
