Shortfield Take-off & Landing Aim • To operate safely and efficiently into and out of a field of marginal length, using as little runway as possible. Application • short/rough strips • ALA’s • obstacle clearance Review • Takeoff – Flap – Power vs Brakes – Climb Performance Review • Approach & Landing – Flap – Power – Approach Profile – Landing Review Considerations • Off Profile • Gusty Conditions Airmanship • Lookout • Smooth coordinated use of controls • Restrict power on gravel surfaces • Higher speeds in gusty conditions may be necessary • If in doubt, go around • Correct handover/takeover procedure Air Exercise Take off POH Ref 4-15 Lower nose FLAP 0o 79 kt (BROC) 57kts until 200ft and Clear of Obstacles then Retract Flap “40 kt” “51 kt ROTATE” FLAP 10o Power Vs Brakes Air Exercise Landing POH Ref 4-16 Apply maximum braking without skidding Maintain full back pressure Target Threshold Speed 55 ktMinimal hold-off and flare Initiate touchdown with idle power Increase power as required to maintain speed Normal approach until 300ft.
