  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 13: Transition to Multiengine Airplanes › Short-Field Approach and Landing

  Short-Field Approach and Landing The primary elements of a short-field approach and landing do not differ significantly from a normal approach and landing. Many manufacturers do not publish short-field landing techniques or performance charts in the AFM/POH ... absence of specific short-field approach and landing procedures, the airplane should be operated as recommended in the AFM/POH. No operations should be conducted contrary to the AFM/POH recommendations. The emphasis in a short-field approach is on configuration (full…

  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 › 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…

  Chapter 9: Approaches and Landings › Power-Off Accuracy Approaches › 180° Power-Off Approach

  Full flaps should be delayed until it is clear that adding them will not cause the landing to be short of the point. The pilot should never try to stretch the glide or retract the flaps to reach the desired ... landing spot. On short final, full attention is given to making a good, safe landing rather than concentrating on the selected landing spot. The approach angle used and final approach airspeed determine the probability of landing on the spot…
