Brace!" just prior to touchdown, and after the incredibly loud noise from said landing gear grinding away on the runway as the plane slowly rolled to a stop, the passengers are going to "immediately" stand up, pull their baggage from the overhead bins, and "clamor" to get off the plane like it's some routine flight that's just pulled up to the gate.

Idiot. The poster doesn't have to "try again" because he was correct. I doubt the reversers were used at all, as that would transfer weight forward and bring the nose down faster. How so? Simple physics, idiot. You and a few other IDIOTS, such as Honeck, who BS incessantly in this forum day in and day out, would do well to SHUT THE **** UP for a while because every time you open your idiot pie holes you come off even dumber than before. - -- IYNH -- - |

ANY braking will put more weight on the nose wheel. That's what I was responding to. Hell, even George P. is backing me up here : ) Both are irrelevant. You use brakes during a soft field landing unless conditions, rare conditions, prohibit them. Just the opposite. You don't use the brakes during a soft field landing unless rare conditions require them. You typically will have all of the deceleration you need from the drag of the wheels in the soft field. You should do some research before making yourself look so foolish in public. It is easy to Google "soft field landing" and find lots of useful information. Matt |

"Matt Whiting" wrote in message The vast majority of soft fields are short turf strips. You need brakes to stop before the end in most GA planes, right? I say use the brakes until you have full up elevator and the nose starts to get heavy. There is no reason to avoid using brakes when doing a soft field landing on firm ground (as most of them are). And that's what it looks like the A320 pilot was doing. You will know, within a second of TD, whether the ground is soft enough to cause braking-like friction on the mains and you will brake accordingly. 2000' of firm turf says you do. A turf field isn't always a soft field. A soft field is a description of the condition of the runway at a particular time, not a description as to whether it is a turf runway or something else. Most turn runways are only soft fields after a very lengthy rain or during the spring when the spring thaw is occurring in areas where the frost goes more than a couple inches deep. You don't use the brakes when landing on a soft field. You can use them on a turf field, but you may or may not need to. Turf field landings are soft field landings. Don't forget about gopher holes. You were taught that a turf field landing is not a soft field landing? Yes, I was taught to make normal full-stall landings on the grass at the field where I learned to fly. N38 at that time had both asphalt and grass and we used the grass most of the time as the airport owner, instructor, A&P and DE didn't want to wear his tires out any faster than necessary. If the field was dry and the grass properly mowed, there was absolutely no reason to use soft-field technique on the grass. Have you ever flown a real airplane? No, computer simulators don't count.

You have that completely backwards my friend. In a soft field landing you don't touch the brakes No brakes, huh? What kind of plane are you talking about? Have you done any on short fields? (As most turf strips are.) If it's swampy enough to create enough drag to quickly slow you down well, that's the same as braking, right? *Think.* Have you had this reading comprehension problem long? He said soft field, not short field. And he didn't touch the brakes, he didn't say the plane wouldn't slow down due to drag from the soft field. And I didn't say "short field landing". I pointed out that most soft field landing are made on short fields. (And short field technique isn't appropriate.) If you interpreted my post some other way, then you have the comprehension problem. So rain and snow only fall on short runways? Wow, I never know that before. Matt |

It's part of almost every landing technique. The key word is almost and the exception is soft field landings where the use of the brakes is almost never necessary and almost always harmful. Matt |

You were taught that a turf field landing is not a soft field landing? It might be. I know of about 50 grass strips here in my local area. Landed on all of them. Unless they are wet because of a recent rain then they aren't soft fields. There's no gopher holes. On landing I brake as necessary for runway length or other operational concern. On takeoff I will get the nose light, but not off the ground, so the strut doesn't hammer up and down on the rough ones |
