Circuit Procedures
Normal speed downwind in the circuit is 80 kts. Carry out the Pre-Landing
Checks and fly the finals turn at 75 kts. rolling out on the centreline at 400 ft.
and just less than 1 mile from the runway threshold.
At 400 ft. select LAND flap (or FULL flap if considered necessary) and fly the
final approach at 70 kts. On short finals start reducing the IAS with a small
power reduction in time to achieve threshold speed as the runway threshold
is crossed.
Landing
The flare is commenced at a suitable height with backward movement of the
control column and closure of the throttle. The nose is pitched up at a rate to
control the now reducing rate of descent and the airspeed decays below
the threshold speed (the stall audio may sound).
At touchdown, beyond the runway threshold, the aircraft is in a nose high
attitude that ensures that the main wheels touch first and the rate of descent
is reduced to almost nothing.
Gently lower the nose wheel several seconds after the main wheels settle on
the runway. Accurate trimming does much to ensure a good touchdown.
