SECTION III CHEROKEE " E "
It is generally good practice to contact the ground at minimum
possible safe speed consistent with existing conditions.
Normally, the best technique for short and slow landings is
to use full flap and enough power to maintain the desired airspeed
and approach flight path. Reduce the airspeed during flare out
and contact the ground close to stalling speed. After ground
contact hold the nose wheel off as long as possible. As the air-
plane slows down, drop the nose and apply the brakes. There will
be less chance of skidding the tires if the flaps are retracted
before applying the brakes. Braking is most effective when back
pressure is applied to the control wheel, putting most of the
airplane weight on the main wheels. In high wind conditions,
particularly in strong crosswinds, it may be desirable to approach
the ground at higher than normal speeds with partial or no flaps.
STOPPING ENGINE
At the pilot's discretion, the flaps should be raised and the
electric fuel pump turned off. After parking, the radios should be
turned off and the engine stopped by pulling the mixture control
to idle cut-off. The throttle should be left full aft to avoid engine
vibration while stopping. Then the magneto and master switches
should be turned off and the parking brake set.
ENGINE POWER LOSS
The most common cause of engine power loss is mismanage-
ment of the fuel. Therefore, the first step to take after engine
power loss is to move the fuel selector valve to the tank not
being used. This will often keep the engine running even if there
is no apparent reason for the engine to stop on the tank being
used.
