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…

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…

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…
