wings level, crabbed technique to maintain lineup in
groove
NOTE: For every lineup correction, a
countercorrection will be required as you approach
the centerline. Chasing lineup will cause glideslope
errors to follow.
COMMON ERROR: Angling or overshooting the
approach is commonly caused by improper
crosswind correction in the pattern or an improper
abeam distance.
COMMON ERROR: Poor glideslope control at this
point is commonly caused by the pilot’s inability to
properly anticipate required power corrections.
COMMON ERROR: Dropping the nose to land is
commonly caused by attempting to recenter a rising
ball in close.
COMMON ERROR: Holding off is commonly
caused by reducing power or carrying insufficient
power during the latter portion of the approach and
attempting to correct the resulting “settle” by pulling
back on the stick.
COMMON ERROR: Attempting to take a “cut” at the
ramp for a “high” or a “climb in close” results in
excessive sink rates and long deck rolls.
