The point of an approach is to land. Using that logic aerobatic pilots should not wear chutes since the point is not to jump out of the plane. ![]() If a missed is required, the 285 HP and 10 degrees nose up will maintain 96 KIAS (Vy) with gear and flaps down. The drill is simple: Prop is already full forward, so MP goes to 25" Confirm Vy and positive rate of climb -- Flaps Up Confirm Vy and positive rate of climb -- Gear Up All this happens in sequence, with no rush required. But I don't see the benefit unless you are flying something that does not fly very stable at approach speed wo flaps (737 perhaps) ![]() Applying full flaps when the runway is in sight seems to introduce overly complex recations at the most critical phase of flight (low and slow). Once the runway is in sight everything is simplier. That is when the student breathes his relief and lands. I've never noticed that part ot be challenging to students, they're happy they found the runway and ready to land. Its much easier to move flaps at this point than to try to retract them while going missed at 200 feet in the soup. |
