Landing

<< < (3/3)

EHM-2089 Vincent:
HI :P
Robert's description of speeds and descent fpm really helps. Generally I do most of my descent upto FL100 on -1800fpm.  And as you said, once on FL100, slowing down to 250KIAS requires a bit of brakes so that we have enough distance for the rest of the descent to the runway from FL100.

Flap speed settings should be available in the Manual of the aircraft which you can find with EHM planes or in surclaro.com (can I give the link here)... I have manuals/checklists for the planes from surclaro, usually have a print of them, and then do a landing checklist. Most important on landing are the correct flap setting, speed at around 140 - 145 KIAS max.

The brakes and spoilers should be armed so that you can concentrate on throttle (reversers) on touchdown. Ensure that when you reach threshold, autopilot has to be off, just in case you were doing landing with Autopilot assistance. ITs important. Ensure that all lights of the autopilot except heading may be are off and even auto throttle should be off. Once down, reverse thrust till around 60 KIAS. After that release the automatic brakes set and apply brakes using . so that you can reach the nearest taxiway with ease or let the plane just roll to the next taxiway.

Get off the taxiway as early as you can, but slowly. Don't go on the grass then all will be in trouble.

Happy flying .. Enjoy !!!:P

Well done mate ;)

To be honest, it was planned that we will make a small operations manual to each of our planes. IT would be much more technical than we have now next to the planes, but not as technical to be boring...instead practical. Some similar descriptions like we discussed here ;)

The only problem is the time, as alway, because it does not have high priority now.
