Arrival Procedures
Piper Archer Landing Criteria
•
Plan and brief each landing carefully.
•
Enter the traffic pattern at TPA trimmed for 90 KIAS in level flight.
(landing profiles depend on this)
•
Maintain a constant angle glidepath.
•
Whenever possible, fly the traffic pattern at a distance from the airport
that allows for a power off landing on a safe landing surface in the
event of an engine failure.
•
Maintain final approach speed until roundout.
•
Reduce throttle to touch down with the engine idling and the airplane
at minimum controllable airspeed within the first 1,000’ of the runway.
•
Touch down on the main gear, with the wheels straddling the
centerline.
•
Manage the airplane’s energy so touchdown occurs at the designated
touchdown point.
•
Maintain a pitch attitude after touchdown that prevents the nosewheel
from slamming down by increasing aft elevator as the airplane slows.
•
Maintain centerline until taxi speed is reached and increase crosswind
control inputs as airplane slows.
•
Adjust crosswind control inputs as necessary during taxi after leaving
the runway.
Good Planning = Good Landing
A good landing is a result of good planning. When planning an approach and
landing, decide on the type of approach and landing (visual or instrument,
short-field, soft-field, etc.). Decide on the flap setting, the final approach speed,
the aiming point, and where the airplane will touch down on the runway
surface.
Approach Briefing – Verbalize the Plan
During the Approach Checklist, conduct an approach briefing. This organizes
the plan and ensures effective communication between pilots. The briefing
