  Chapter 9: Approaches and Landings › Soft-Field Approach and Landing

  that the wings support the weight of the airplane as long as practical to minimize stresses imposed on the landing gear by a rough surface or to prevent sinking into a soft surface. The approach for the soft-field landing ... similar to the normal approach used for operating into long, firm landing areas. The major difference between the two is that a degree of power is used throughout the level-off and touchdown for the soft-field landing. This allows…

  Chapter 9: Approaches and Landings › Short-Field Approach and Landing

  Short-Field Approach and Landing Short-field approaches and landings require the use of procedures for approaches and landings at fields with a relatively short landing area or where an approach is made over obstacles that limit the available landing ... area. [Figure 9-20 and Figure 9-21] This low-speed type of power-on approach is closely related to the performance of flight near minimum controllable airspeeds. Figure 9-20. Landing over an obstacle. Figure 9-21. Landing…

  Chapter 9: Approaches and Landings › Short-Field Approach and Landing › Common Errors

  Common Errors Common errors in the performance of short-field approaches and landings are: 1. A final approach that necessitates an overly steep approach and high sink rate. 2. Unstable approach. 3. Undue delay in initiating glide path corrections ... airspeed on final resulting in inability to flare properly and landing hard. 5. Too high an airspeed resulting in floating on round out. 6. Prematurely reducing power to idle on round out resulting in hard landing. 7. Touchdown with excessive…

  provided, the pilot should conform to radar vectors when provided by ATC in lieu of the published missed approach procedure. (See FIG 5-4-31.) e. Some locations may have a preplanned alternate missed approach procedure ... event the primary NAVAID used for the missed approach procedure is unavailable. To avoid confusion, the alternate missed approach instructions are not published on the chart. However, the alternate missed approach holding pattern will be depicted on the instrument approach…

  Chapter 9: Approaches and Landings › Soft-Field Approach and Landing › Common Errors

  Once committed to a landing, the pilot should gently lower the nose-wheel to the surface. A slight addition of power usually aids in easing the nose-wheel down. The use of brakes on a soft field is not needed ... tend to impose a heavy load on the nose-gear due to premature or hard contact with the landing surface, causing the nose-wheel to dig in. The soft or rough surface itself provides sufficient reduction in the airplane…

  Simultaneous Offset Instrument Approach (SOIA). 1. SOIA is a procedure used to conduct simultaneous approaches to runways spaced less than 3,000 feet, but at least 750 feet apart. The SOIA procedure utilizes a straight-in PRM approach ... runway, and a PRM offset approach with glideslope/glidepath to the adjacent runway. In SOIA operations, aircraft are paired, with the aircraft conducting the straight-in PRM approach always positioned slightly ahead of the aircraft conducting the offset PRM approach…
