- Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Takeoff and Landing Performance › Landing Performance
deceleration during the landing is identical to the effect on acceleration during the takeoff. The effect of pressure altitude and ambient temperature is to define density altitude and its effect on landing performance. An increase in density altitude increases ... landing speed but does not alter the net retarding force. Thus, the aircraft at altitude lands at the same IAS as at sea level but, because of the reduced density, the TAS is greater. Since the aircraft lands at altitude…
- Chapter 9: Approaches and Landings › Go-Arounds (Rejected Landings)
Arounds (Rejected Landings) A go-around is a normal maneuver that is used when approach and landing parameters deviate from expectations or when it is hazardous to continue. Situations such as air traffic control (ATC) requirements, unexpected appearance of hazards ... unstable approach are all reasons to discontinue a landing approach. Like any other normal maneuver, the go-around should be practiced and perfected. The flight instructor should emphasize early on, and the pilot should understand, that any approach or landing…
- Chapter 13: Transition to Multiengine Airplanes › Low Altitude Engine Failure Scenarios › Landing Gear Control Selected Up, Single-Engine Climb Performance Inadequate
Landing Gear Control Selected Up, Single-Engine Climb Performance Inadequate When operating near or above the single-engine ceiling and an engine failure is experienced shortly after lift-off, a landing needs to be accomplished on whatever essentially lies ahead ... remaining engine producing power, as long as the pilot is not tempted to remain airborne beyond the airplane’s performance capability. Remaining airborne and bleeding off airspeed in a futile attempt to maintain altitude is almost invariably fatal. Landing under…
- Chapter 8: Flight Instruments › Altimeter Operation
altimeter indicates an altitude above the actual field elevation. If the barometric pressure setting is reset to the current altimeter setting of 29.68 "Hg, then the field elevation is again indicated on the altimeter. This pressure change ... easily noticed in flight since aircraft fly at specific altitudes. The aircraft steadily decreases true altitude while the altimeter is held constant through pilot action as discussed in the previous section. Knowing the aircraft’s altitude is vitally important…
