 |
|
I would like to hear pilots views on what technique they use for repeatable good landings.
I have been using 60/65 kts on finals then flaring at about 20 foot, attempting to keep the aircraft close and parallel with the ground with a gradual nose up attitude.
I have now been introduced to adding a squirt of power during the final landing phase to improved elevator authority which should give greater vertical control.
I would welcome views on this topic. John

John,
Monowheel technique.
65kts on final. 55kt over the fence/threshold, a two stage flare due to the fast wing, first to arrest the descent, pause, then second, flare slowly, bringing the stick back to contact main wheel, then bring the stick back fully and brake, keep straight with rudder anticipating turns from side to side.
SHORT landing, aim for a point, speed 45kts over the threshold, place aircraft on the ground at the first flare and hold stick fully back, brake.
20ft too high, closer to the ground to arrest descent, power not usually necessary in flare unless a big bounce occurs then yes it is good.
Works well.
Cheers,
Tim

John, then I wouldn't want to claim any expertise, but
would still go for 60kt approach & aiming to round out to
level 4 ft off ground.Regards, David

Hello John,
Had a few small bounces at first, the aeroplane want to keep on flying,
I have only done about 30 hours on the Europa but finally have nailed how to land it. This is how i do it.
Initially 65 kts then slow down to 60kts nice and stable aiming to keep a little power on all the way down to round out, as you flare slowly close the throttle and hold off, when you think the landings over its NOT, keep the stick coming back and continue trying to fly the aeroplane and the wheels will gently touch the runway, as the wheels touch the ground gently release some of the pressure on the stick and apply the brakes,
If you bounce ( in a very rare case) just a little power to cushion it down.
If you ever you bounce 15 to 20 ft into the air, apply full power smoothly and go around for another attempt.
I find the Europa,s Take Off Distance much shorter than the Landing Distance, so beware if you ever do a force landing,
I can land a C150 on a postage stamp but this slippery beast takes more than you think so keep the speeds really nailed .
Hope that's of help.
Alan.
