Hi guys,

Wheel landing are mentioned in the file I have from Ed Down's book.



I did not read where any "THE RECOMMENDED TECHNIQUE" was put in that book 

copy that I have here.

Here is a picture of the page I read.

Now that being said,  Wheel landings you might have to do at some point and 

maybe even on on flight test day ?

Just my thoughts.



Maybe I will try to get some videos done again in next while of some Wheel 

landings to show you guys.



Dave

I have the 2004-1 Revision, and I quoted from pages 105-106...I shoulda 

said that before. And remember, I was the one who upper-cased the 

"recommended technique," which appears on p.105. My book says Copyright 

2002, but is Rev. 2004-1.



Not according to my flight instructor (the part about doing on flight 

test day), who,again, said he would teach me when he thinks I'm 

ready....we'll see what the examiner says when I next talk to him. It 

would seem to me that the examiner might be restricted in what he can 

ask you to do given the capabilities of the airplane, wouldn't he? And 

if you can land the plane in 15 kt x-winds, and this is the limit of 

the plane, why would he not have to accept that performance from the 

pilot? Not trying to be contrary here, just playing devil's advocate.
