How to land the F-105D "Thunderchief":
THE KEY TO ANY GOOD LANDING IS PRECISE AIRSPEED
CONTROL
Maintain as high a throttle setting as is consistent with approach
conditions before landing. Although the engine will respond normally
when accelerated from idle, it is preferred to maintain a minimum of 75
to 80 percent RPM during the approach to minimize the time delay
required to obtain sufficient thrust if a go-around becomes necessary.
1. Enter the traffic pattern at 300-350 KCAS approximately three
miles from end of runway and 1500 feet about field elevation.
2. Level break - Adjust throttle as required.
3. Landing gear handle - DOWN (below 275 KCAS).
4. Flap handle - Set at LANDING & TAKEOFF position.
5. Maintain break altitude until on base leg. Optimum airspeed on
base leg is 225 KCAS.
Note: To gain the benefit of aerodynamic drag, use speed brakes
as required and control airspeed and rate of sink by throttle.
6. Decrease airspeed to 195 - 210 KCAS prior to rolling out on final.
7. Use speed brakes as required.
RECOMMENDED APPPROACH SPEEDS & GLIDE ANGLES MUST
BE ADHERED TO AND LANDINGS MUST BE SMOOTH WITH
VERY LOW SINK RATES!
8. After establishing final approach speed of approximately 190
KCAS, begin flare to touchdown.
9. To preclude excessive rates of sink during flare, a 2.5- to 3.0-
degree final approach is recommended.
10. Rate of sink should be controlled by a combination of power
and speed brakes until touchdown.
11. Touchdown at 170/160 KCAS and simultaneously reduce
throttle to idle.
12. Maximum aerodynamic braking is obtained after touchdown
by retracting the flaps and increasing back pressure on the stick to
keep the nose wheel slightly aloft whenever above 130 KCAS.
13. At 130 KCAS gently lower the nose.
14. Deploy drag chute for all landings. To gain maximum drag
chute effectiveness, which is obtained in the higher allowable
speed regions, the drag chute should be deployed as soon as
