Term
3 phases of landing
Definition
Roundout
Touchdown
Landing Roll
Term
The goal of the round out is to...
Definition
Establish the proper attitude for the aircraft to settle gently onto the runway at touchdown.
Term
To properly set up for the roundout, plan to cross the runway threshold approx ___ KIAS below the final approach speed.
Definition
10
Term
During roundout, retard the PCL to idle when?
Definition
At or just before touchdown
Term
A heavier aircraft (in regards to the roundout) has a ______ lift requirement and will develop a sink rate more _____.
Definition
Term
Target touchdown speeds
Definition
80 KIAS (LDG)
85 KIAS (TO)
90 KIAS (NO FLAP)
Term
Increase touchdown speeds by ____ knots if landing with greater than _____ pounds total fuel remaining
Definition
5, 750
Term
During the high speed portion of the landing roll, directional control should be maintained with?
Definition
Rudder
Term
In order to avoid possible contact of the ventral fin with the runway, do not allow the aircraft to develop excessive _____ ______ or attempt _____ ____ ____ flared landings
Definition
sink rate, full aft stick
Term
Once nosewheel is on the runway, smoothly apply the brakes below ____ KIAS while ______ backpressure.
Definition
80, increasing.
Term
At speeds below 80 KIAS you may apply ______ ________ to assist in maintaining aircraft control.
Definition
Differential Braking
Term
Before engaging NWS, make sure the aircraft is at a __________ _______ speed.
Definition
safe taxi
Term
If a nosewheel shimmy is encountered..?
Definition
Apply stick back pressure to relieve weight on the nosewheel, then gently release pressure to re-establish nosewheel runway contact.
Term
Complete after-landing checks after
Definition
clearing the runway
Term
Rounding out too high is caused by
Definition
rounding out too early or aggressively.
Term
Correct a high roundout by
Definition
Releasing backpressure and lowering nose (if airspeed and runway remaining), or a go around
Term
Rounding out to low is caused by
Definition
a late roundout
Term
To recover from a low roundout
Definition
add power to increase thrust or lift and controllability to be able to go around. Maintain landing attitude
Term
If proposing is encountered
Definition
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO COUNTER WITH CONTROL INPUTS

Immediately position controls for takeoff

Advance PCL to MAX

Go around and do not raise landing gear
Term
Floating is caused by
Definition
excessive airspeed in the round out.
Term
In regards to floating, if sufficient runway is remaining and float is slight correct by
Definition
gradually increasing pitch attitude as landing speed is approached, allowing the aircraft to land.
Term
Ballooning occurs when
Definition
the round out is too rapid or the nose is raised to the landing attitude before lift has sufficiently dissipated.
Term
Bouncing is caused by
Definition
striking the runway too hard
Term
Ground effect is caused by
Definition
A decrease in induced drag with a constant amount of lift.
Term
Ground effect occurs
Definition
within one wingspan distance from the ground.
Term
Wide runways can cause you to flare _____ _____ or land _____ of the runway.
Definition
too high, short
Term
Narrow runways will make your approach appear ______ and cause you to flare ______
Definition
high, late
Term
A longer runway will make you seem _____ to the runway than you actually are
Definition
closer
Term
A shorter runway will make you think you are ______ away than you actually are.
Definition
farther
Term
An upward sloping runway will cause you to think you are _______ and thus cause to to flare _______.
Definition
too high, too low.
Term
A runway that slopes downward will make you think you are ____ ____ and cause you to flare ____ ____.
Definition
too low, too high.
Term
How can hills or buildings near the approach end of the runway affect an approach?
Definition
Cause varying and burbling winds
Term
How can plowed fields, parking lots, bodies of water or other surface features affect a final approach?
Definition
Produce vertical air currents which can cause an aircraft to gain or loose lift.
Term
3 types of hydroplaning
Definition
Dynamic
Viscous
Rubber Reversion
Term
Define Dynamic Hydroplaning
Definition
The A/C tires ride on a layer of water on the runway
Term
Define Viscous Hydroplaning
Definition
Tires ride on a film of oil, rubber deposits, or other foreign matter. Particularly on a smooth surface runway.
Term
Define rubber reversion hydroplaning
Definition
The tires ride on a layer of steam generated from burning rubber caused by a locked brake.
Term
Factors in hydroplaning
Definition
Speed
Water Volume
Aircraft Weight
Other-worn tire tread, smooth or uneven runway surfaces or tire pressure.
Term
The T-6A landing gear can hydroplane at a speed of ______ KIAS
Definition
135
Term
How do you avoid hydroplaning?
Definition
Touchdown more firmly.
Term
How to stop a hydroplaning aircraft
Definition
Avoid braking and maintain directional control with the rudder. After tires have regained contact with the runway, gently pump the brakes to avoid a lockup.
Term
Touch and go landings are usually done with what flap settings?
Definition
TO and No flap
Term
Use ____ rudder to maintain directional control when advancing PCL to MAX during a touch and go.
Definition
Right
Term
What is the effect of elevator trim on a touch and go?
Definition
You might have to trim forward rapidly and add forward stick pressure when advancing the PCL to MAX in order to maintain proper takeoff and climb attitudes.
Term
During final, sudden crosswind gusts may cause a
Definition
sudden loss of lift
Term
(T/F) Crosswind controls must be held though the touchdown and landing roll.
Definition
True.
Term
During a crosswind landing, maintain aircraft control with?
Definition
Rudders and Ailerons
Term
After landing, who will you contact for taxi instructions?
Definition
Ground control
