Chapter 9: Approaches and Landings › Turbulent Air Approach and Landing
airplane in approximately level flight attitude. The pitch attitude at touchdown would be only enough to prevent the nose-wheel from contacting the surface before the main wheels have touched the surface. After touchdown, the pilot should avoid ... yoke, as this may result in wheelbarrowing and possible loss of control. The pilot should allow the airplane to decelerate normally, assisted by careful use of wheel brakes and avoid heavy braking until the wings are devoid of lift…

Chapter 17: Transition to Light Sport Airplanes (LSA) › Flight Environment › Approach and Landing
require smooth application of control pressures to avoid over-controlling. Pitch and power are the same in an LSA as in a standard airworthiness airplane. The weight limit of light-sport airplanes makes crosswind landings an important subject ... focus on. The pilot should realize that strong gusty crosswind conditions may exceed the airplane’s control capability resulting in loss of control during the landing. Manufacturers place a maximum demonstrated crosswind speed in the POH, and until sufficient…

While the VMC demonstration shows the earliest onset of a loss of directional control when performed ... knots) is recommended when limiting rudder travel. The rudder limiting technique avoids the hazards of spinning as a result of stalling with high asymmetrical power, yet is effective in demonstrating the loss of directional control. To reduce the risk…

optimum airplane attitude or configuration for climb performance. During dynamic VMC determination in aircraft certification, cuts of the critical engine using the mixture control are performed by flight test pilots while gradually reducing the speed with each attempt ... Transitioning pilots should understand that attempting to demonstrate VMC with an engine cut from high power, or intentionally failing an engine at speeds less than VSSE creates a high likelihood for loss of control and an accident. VMC Demo…
