- Chapter 11: Aircraft Performance › Takeoff and Landing Performance › Landing Performance
landing speed is some fixed percentage of the stall speed or minimum control speed for the aircraft in the landing configuration. As such, the landing is accomplished at some particular value of lift coefficient and AOA. The exact values depend…
- Chapter 8: Flight Instruments › Airspeed Indicator Markings
aircraft include the following standard color-coded markings: • White arc—commonly referred to as the flap operating range since its lower limit represents the full flap stall speed and its upper limit provides the maximum flap speed. Approaches and landings ... minimum steady flight speed in the landing configuration. In small aircraft, this is the power-off stall speed at the maximum landing weight in the landing configuration (gear and flaps down). • Upper limit of the white arc (VFE)—the maximum…

glideslope from below and that a false glideslope is not being tracked. The PF should have the aircraft fully configured for landing before intercepting the glideslope to ensure a stabilized approach. As the aircraft intercepts the glideslope the pitch mode…
- Chapter 1: The National Airspace System › Teardrop Procedure › Landing Minimums
specified for various aircraft approach categories based upon a value 1.3 times the stalling speed of the aircraft in the landing configuration at maximum certified gross landing weight. If it is necessary to maneuver at speeds in excess ... speed range for a category, the minimums for the next higher category should be used. For example, an aircraft that falls into category A, but is circling to land at a speed in excess of 91 knots, should use approach…

final stage of landing and maintain a specified climb gradient with all engines operating and the aircraft in the landing configuration. Many airplanes have more than one allowable flap configuration for normal landing. Often, a reduced flap setting for landing…

approved placards/markings. If the pilot applies a gust factor, indicated airspeed should not decay below the recommended landing speed. 4. Configuration. The aircraft is in the correct landing configuration with flaps as required; landing gear extended, and is in trim ... setting appropriate for the aircraft configuration and not below the minimum power for approach as defined by the AFM. 7. Briefings and checklists. Completing all briefings and checklists prior to initiating the approach (except the landing checklist), ensures the pilot…
