I was taking issue with the idea that a greaser full stall landing is self-contradictory. Well, lot's of semantic problems in this whole discussion. I would say that what people commonly *call* a full stall is not a good way to grease it on. I would also say that what is called a full stall landing is actually a landing where power is off, and the plane is at an attitude and speed where you run out of elevator authority just as you touch the ground - perhaps the wing is stalled but what I think is that the nose is simply dropping to continue flying as you run out of elevator. The only way out of this is to add power or let the nose drop until more airspeed is gained. I can do this in the Maule when I make a minimum speed approach, flare at the right moment, and touch the ground just as the wheel is pulled all the way back. Not a good way to grease it on but it is wonderful thing when it happens. Normally, I come in at a normal approach speed, flare to the 3 point attitude and touch down. If I pull back too far or too fast, I can and will touch the tailwheel first. So I agree that what we think of as a full stall landing, can be greased on. It's just not the best way. I also suggest that the idea of holding it off with power at a high angle of attack (dragging it in) is neither a 'full stall landing' nor a good way to grease it. Perhaps just a different perspective. |
