... "John Doe" wrote in message ... I guess my question is simply put this way, do you cut power immediately before touching down? If not, when? I suppose a carrier landing would be an extreme. Only curious. Thank you. For standard landings, am I the only one who learned (in a C-172) 2100RPM 10 degree flaps on downwind, 1700/20 on base, 1700/30 or 40 on final, cut the power over the threshold (maybe a little later) ? I thought that was a standard pattern. Now, in my Beech, I do a similar pattern, usually cutting the pattern either close to the threshold, or in the flare. Any disadvantages to this approach? Adam N7966L Beech Super III I was taught (C172SP) - Abeam the numbers: 1500 rpm + flaps 10 - Base: 1500 + flaps 20 - Final: Flaps 30, pitch for 65-70kts, adjust power as needed for constant GS - Power off as I cross the runway end lights (add a very small amount of power in the flare for a nice soft touchdown...but not if I'm a little hot so as to avoid more float.) |
