  Chapter 9: Approaches and Landings › Go-Arounds (Rejected Landings) › Configuration

  Configuration After establishing the proper climb attitude and power settings, the pilot's next concern is flap retraction. After the descent has been stopped, the landing flaps are partially retracted or placed in the takeoff position as recommended ... manufacturer. Depending on the airplane’s altitude and airspeed, it is wise to retract the flaps intermittently in small increments to allow time for the airplane to accelerate progressively as they are being raised. A sudden and complete retraction…

  Chapter 13: Transition to Multiengine Airplanes › Go-Around

  around is made, the throttles should be advanced to takeoff power and pitch adjusted to arrest the sink rate. With adequate airspeed, the airplane should be placed in a climb pitch attitude. These actions, which are accomplished sequentially, arrest ... sink rate and place the airplane in the proper attitude for transition to a climb. The initial target airspeed is VY or VX if obstructions are present. With sufficient airspeed, the flaps should be retracted from full to an intermediate…

  Chapter 13: Transition to Multiengine Airplanes › Normal and Crosswind Takeoff and Climb

  Most airliners and most turbine-powered airplanes climb out at an attitude that yields best rate of climb (VY) usually utilizing a flight management system (FMS). When to raise the landing gear after takeoff depends on several factors. Normally ... gear should be retracted when there is insufficient runway available for landing and after a positive rate of climb is established as indicated on the altimeter. If an excessive amount of runway is available, it would not be prudent…

  Takeoff and Climb Normally, the landing gear is retracted after lift-off when the airplane has reached an altitude where, in the event of an engine failure or other emergency requiring an aborted takeoff, the airplane could no longer ... apply to all situations. Preplan landing gear retraction taking into account the following: ⦁ Length of the runway ⦁ Climb gradient ⦁ Obstacle clearance requirements ⦁ The characteristics of the terrain beyond the departure end of the runway ⦁ The climb characteristics of the particular…

  Chapter 16: Transition to Jet-Powered Airplanes › Jet Engine Landing › Landing Speeds

  takeoff planning, there are certain speeds that should be taken into consideration when landing a jet airplane. The speeds are as follows: ⦁ VSO —stall speed in the landing configuration. ⦁ VREF —1.3 times the stall speed in the landing configuration. ⦁ Approach ... climb—the speed that guarantees adequate performance in a go-around situation with an inoperative engine. ⦁ Landing climb—the speed that guarantees adequate performance in arresting the descent and making a go-around from the final stages of landing with…

  Chapter 16: Transition to Jet-Powered Airplanes › Jet Airplane Takeoff and Climb › Initial Climb

  Initial Climb Once the proper pitch attitude is attained, the pilot should maintain it. Takeoff power is also maintained and the airspeed allowed to accelerate. Landing gear retraction should be accomplished after a positive rate of climb has been established ... confirmed. In some airplanes gear retraction may temporarily increase the airplane drag while landing gear doors open. Premature gear retraction may cause the airplane to settle back toward the runway surface. In addition, the vertical speed indicator and the altimeter…
