Touch-And-Go Landing

INTERMEDIATE FLIGHT PREPARATION WORKBOOK

CHAPTER ONE

CP: "Yaw damper."

P: "Disengaged P."

CP: "Disengaged CP."

CP: "Before Landing Checklist complete."

Missed approach/climb out instructions will be given on final approach course after the Before

Landing Checklist is complete and prior to the FAF. Once the P takes over visually, the

SNFO/SCSO should be scanning the "meatball" (if an Optical Landing System (OLS) is

available), "lineup", "AOA/Airspeed", or the Visual Approach Slope Indicator (VASI)/Precision

Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) otherwise. Generally, no comments should be made unless the

aircraft is outside safe landing parameters (i.e., 5 KTS below/10 KTS above airspeed or 100 feet

off altitude on final) or conflicting traffic has been observed. The SNFO/SCSO should, prior to

touchdown, perform a final safety check including landing gear, flap setting, and clearance to

land.

Allow a minimum of 2 minutes before landing behind a larger-type aircraft or helicopter and a

minimum of 3 minutes behind heavy jet aircraft. The P should attempt to remain above and

upwind of the flightpath of the preceding aircraft.

Touch-And-Go Landing (Will not be completed on student flights)

Immediately after nosewheel touchdown, the P will set the flaps to 10 and reset the stabilizer

trim to the takeoff trim setting. When this is set, the P will set throttles to the go-around N1

setting and continue with normal takeoff procedures. Minimum rotation speed has been

calculated in the landing data (VREF). When rotation speed is reached call, "Rotate". The P

rotates 13-15 degrees noseup and prompts the initiation of the After Takeoff or Pattern

Checklists (make normal Takeoff (T/O) calls for gear and flaps). Recompute VREF speeds for

each 500-pound change in landing weight.

Waveoff

The decision to execute a missed approach should be made as early as possible. When executing

a missed approach or when directed to go around or "wave off" an approach, the P will advance

the throttles to go-around N1. When the P calls for "Flaps 10", retract the flaps from Full to 10.

When two positive rates of climb are established, the P will call "Gear up." If not departing the

pattern, continue to monitor positive rate of climb, maintain compliance with departure/climb out

instructions and keep your "head on a swivel" looking for traffic.
