Paul,
Tapping brakes stops the rotation before entering the wheel well. You do not want them spinning into the gear well. Leaving them down blows off excess slush and snow as well as freezes any thin residue that may be left. having it freeze in the wheel well can make it stick into the well. Michelle Paul Tomblin wrote: This will be my first winter flying the club's Lance. One instructor told me that you want to tap the brakes before retracting the gear to dislodge any slush or snow so that it doesn't freeze in the wheel well, and I read somebody else saying that you should hold off retracting the gear after take-off for a little while to blow the slush and snow off. Should I do one or the other or both? -- Michelle P ATP-ASEL, CP-AMEL, and AMT-A&P "Elisabeth" a Maule M-7-235B (no two are alike) Volunteer Pilot, Angel Flight Mid-Atlantic Volunteer Builder, Habitat for Humanity |
