7.6.13
Short Field Landing
Approach..................................................FLAT. Aim for wheels to touch as near to the
target point as possible. Approach under
power.
Power.......................................................APPROX 1500 RPM
Airspeed...................................................55 KIAS
Touch-down .............................................AT TARGET POINT. Wheel brakes are
The best way to slow the aircraft. Touching
down positively and slightly fast then braking
heavily will give shortest landing distances.
Power.......................................................IDLE
Brakes......................................................HEAVY. DO NOT LOCK WHEELS.
NOTE
Short field landings are potentially high risk manoeuvres. Reducing approach speeds and
approaching under power reduce the aircraft’s safety margins, especially in a wind gust or if the
engine fails. Where possible, they should only be attempted in good conditions. If students are
being taught short field landings the weather conditions must be appropriate and a displaced
threshold used.
NOTE
After heavy braking such as that required for a short field landing brake temperatures will rise
dramatically and afterwards brake effectiveness may be significantly reduced.
