Al In any 'heavies' that I'm familiar with (a mixture of twins and 4 engined) power is ususlly gradually reduced along the final approach till just before touchdown when it is removed to idle, Some a/c require more power, some require less power on final (and different configuration and weight matters) so power requirements vary quite a lot. -- -Gord. |

We always used power on the approach....you never want the prop driving the engine. RPM is kept low (1800-2000) and the MP is kept "oversquare" until in the flare. -- Dale L.
