REDUCED FLAP LANDING
A reduced flap landing is any landing with other than LDG flaps. Use
the AFM Reduced Flap Landing checklist instead of the normal Descent,
Approach, and Before Landing checklists. Land on the longest suitable
runway.
A landing with flaps at TO/APPR is very similar to a landing with flaps
LDG.
For flaps UP landing, apply the following considerations. Airspeed
control is critical. If possible, slow to the corrected landing speed during
level flight, prior to the FAF. With lower than normal drag, precise flight
path control will be required to avoid the possibility of being high and
fast on final without the capability to slow down or to re-capture the
intended glide slope. Use momentary extension of the speedbrake (if
installed) to correct airspeed and glideslope, but then retract the
speedbrake as soon as possible.
CAUTION
Failure to retract the speedbrake may result in the
inability to land in the touchdown zone.
Reduce power to IDLE at 50 ft AGL and use minimal flare. Do not
allow the aircraft to float excessively. The pitch attitude is slightly higher
than normal and may affect normal visual references.
