Phrase "landing runway" vs. "cleared to land"

But landing is easy, missed is hard. Make the hard part easier and the easy part will take care of itself. Going Missed is the scary monster because: 1) You're close to the ground 2) You have configuration and power changes 3) You didn't get to land 4) You're still in the soup The anxiety level can be reduced by: 1) Minimize configuration changes 2) Anticipate a missed 3) Take comfort in having been in the soup for however long it took you to get to this phase of the flight. If you're still uncomfortable in IMC, some dual is probably in order. I think the student will have to unlearn the fast approach technique once he/she steps into a more aerodynamically slippery airplane. In a fast airplane you have to manage your energy if you want to land on a small field at the conclusion of the approach. With the proliferation of VNAV GPS approaches more and more smaller runways have basically ILS minimums. A typical ILS ends with a 5,000 foot+ runway -- not so for VNAV GPS. To clarify -- my point is that the approach should be flown in a way that is a consistent and predictable. This presumes a specific Power- Attitude-Configuration combination that requires only minor changes to transition from the approach phase to the landing phase. The Missed approach requires minimal PAC change -- Power to full, Flaps up, gear up. If you're in a fixed gear, it's doubly important that you teach configuration change as part of the missed to prepare them for retracts. Try this next time -- see what happens to the ILS needles when your student drops full flaps once the runway is in sight. Dan |
