In setting up for landing, I tried to stay high and slipped in with
only 10-degree flap. Over the fence, I was still pretty high and
somewhat fast so I dropped to 20-degree flap and reduced power to near
idle to make sure that I would not land long on the 3000 feet runway.
The landing was good and I was able to turn left to Alpha taxiway right
to our tie-down area.
Good work, but when iced up, (I hear) it's important not to make big
changes in airfoil when landing. The iced up wing is more sensitive
to such changes and the disturbed airflow may separate, leading to a
low altitude stall. I've never landed with ice, so all this is from
what I've heard and read (and seen in FAA videos); others will
certainly fill in.
It can sure happen quickly.
