One thing we see a lot of is guys who fly the ILS too fast. I have no problem with flying the ILS at 90 or 100 knots if the ceiling is well above minimums, but it seems to me that if the ceiling is 200 feet overcast you ought to be flying the approach slowly enough that you can land at that speed. You don't need to configure for a short field landing, but you are not going to slow from 90 knots to 60 in a Skyhawk in only 200 feet of altitude, especially if you can't risk ballooning back up into the soup. otoh - I can slow my cherokee 140 down from 90 knots at the middle marker to a good landing speed at the GIP. I know I can do it because that's the way I've done every single ILS approach and that was the way I was taught from day one. ymmv -- Bob Noel |
