Landing Procedures
Familiarization
CAUTION: Do not continue the roll beyond the 4,000 ft remaining marker on the runway.
Upon reaching either 100 KIAS or the 4,000 ft remaining marker, advance the power to MRT and retract
the speed brakes. Once the aircraft is accelerating and 5-10 KIAS prior to the predicted takeoff speed,
rotate the aircraft to the takeoff attitude and allow the aircraft to fly off the runway. Anticipate a lag from the
time you go to MRT to when you actually feel the aircraft begin to accelerate. Monitor your engine
instruments as the engine accelerates. Remember, with MRT set at 100 KIAS you only have to accelerate
about 5-10 KIAS to reach liftoff speed, so shortly after the engine reaches MRT, you will be at your takeoff
speed. Turn downwind when the proper interval has been established at or above 300 ft AGL and when
cleared by the tower.
ROLL AND GO—NO FLAP/SLAT
Perform a normal no flap/slat landing approach and touchdown on the runway centerline. Upon
touchdown, reduce the power to IDLE and allow the aircraft to decelerate to 140 KIAS or until 6,000 ft of
runway remain, whichever comes first. Maintain directional control with the nose wheel steering, if
required. If you are correcting for a crosswind, take out crab with rudder while simultaneously applying
aileron into the wind to hold wings level, just prior to touchdown. Immediately on touchdown, smoothly
apply aileron into the wind to hold wings level, maintain longitudinal stick at approach position or slightly
forward, and neutralize the rudder prior to nosewheel touchdown.
CAUTION: Do not continue the roll beyond the 6,000 ft remaining marker on the runway.
Upon reaching either 140 KIAS or the 6,000 ft remaining marker, advance power to MRT. Once the
aircraft is accelerating and 5-10 KIAS prior to the predicted takeoff speed, rotate the aircraft to the takeoff
attitude and allow the aircraft to fly off the runway. Anticipate a lag from the time you go to MRT to when
you actually feel the aircraft begin to accelerate. Monitor your engine instruments as the engine
accelerates. Remember, with MRT set at 140 KIAS, you only have to feel acceleration since you are
above rotation speed, so shortly after the engine reaches MRT you will be at your takeoff speed. Turn
downwind when the proper interval has been established at or above 300 ft AGL and when cleared by the
tower. If turning downwind for a full flap/slat landing, lower flaps and slats at or above 300 ft AGL and slow
to 130 KIAS prior to turning downwind.
NORMAL FIELD LANDING PROCEDURES
To perform a full-stop landing, fly a normal landing approach to touchdown on the runway centerline. Upon
touchdown, reduce the power to IDLE. Apply smooth, steady braking below 100 KIAS, increasing brake
pressure as speed decreases. Do not pump the brakes. During roll-out, less aileron may be required to
maintain wings level.
Maintain initial directional control with nose wheel steering and begin normal braking at no more than 100
KIAS. Upon reaching taxi speed, clear the duty runway (high gain nose wheel steering may be engaged).
Be sure to comply with local course rules/SOP for clearing the runway. Do not change configuration until
clear of runway. Full aileron into the wind is required to taxi with a crosswind of greater than 20 knots.
After clearing the duty runway, perform the postlanding check list. Switch to ground control to request taxi
clearance. Once you have received taxi clearance, taxi to the line. Call base on radio to advise of aircraft
condition as you enter the line area.
