item that alters the landing speed or deceleration rate during the landing roll affects the landing distance. The effect of gross weight on landing distance is one of the principal items determining the landing distance. One effect of an increased ... gross weight is that a greater speed is required to support the aircraft at the landing AOA and lift coefficient. For an example of the effect of a change in gross weight, a 21 percent increase in landing weight requires…

Landing behind a larger aircraft- when parallel runway is closer than 2,500 feet. Consider possible drift to your runway. Stay at or above the larger aircraft’s final approach flight path- note its touchdown point. 3. Landing behind ... larger aircraft- crossing runway. Cross above the larger aircraft’s flight path. 4. Landing behind a departing larger aircraft- same runway. Note the larger aircraft’s rotation point-land well prior to rotation point. 5. Landing behind a departing larger…

Vortex Avoidance Procedures The following procedures are in place to assist pilots in vortex avoidance in the given scenario. • Landing behind a larger aircraft on the same runway— stay at or above the larger aircraft’s approach flight path ... land beyond its touchdown point. [Figure 14-47A] • Landing behind a larger aircraft on a parallel runway closer than 2,500 feet—consider the possibility of drift and stay at or above the larger aircraft’s final approach flight…

aircraft is in the correct landing configuration with flaps as required; landing gear extended, and is in trim. 5. Descent rate. A descent rate (generally 500-1000 fpm for light general aviation aircraft) makes for a safe approach. Minimal adjustments ... 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…

continued flight should be followed. [Figure 13-20] There are four areas of concern: control, configuration, climb, and checklist. Figure 13-20. Landing gear up—adequate climb performance. Control The first consideration following engine failure during takeoff is to maintain ... safety of flight. Ensure that airspeed stays above VMC. If the yaw cannot be controlled with full rudder applied, reducing thrust on the operative engine is the only alternative. Attempting to correct the roll with aileron without first applying rudder…

For any change in configuration, a command from the PF and an acknowledgment from ... interruption or an item on the checklist has not yet been accomplished. Operating procedures must be established to ensure that the correct checklist sequence is completed after an interruption. If the sequence cannot be re-established or the crew…
