angle of approach or landing range question
"Robert M. Gary" wrote in message oups.com... Are you asking about the angle of decent? That's about 3 degrees. Or are you asking about the deck angle (how high the nose is). The quality of the landing has nothing to do with it because the plane "flares" i.e. levels off to some degree before touching down. The angle the for the last 2 feet is probably something like 0.5 degrees although only an autopilot programmer would really know. Pilots don't flare by measing angle of decent at touch down. ....and occasionally they don't flare at all! Oops, we must be on the ground. ------------------------------------------------- DW
