  • @charliechaser That's why there are different techniques for short field and regular landings.

  • Just reduce your approuch speed for the shorter runway length. If you need to get in very short, as you reach ground effect, slowly add power as you increace back pressure to slow down in the air. Focus on the far end of the runway and hold it off until the aircraft gets behind the power curve. With practice you'l be on the ground with a very short rollout.

  • @cessna170bdriver

    thats all very fine on a long runway not on a 400metre runway where u have to get here down not waist runway flying along it at 3 feet agl, u wud smash into the trees at the end

  • jsmykal I could not agree with you more. You just said it with fewer words than I did.

  • @cessna170bdriver the best advise I got as a student was "look down the runway and try not to let the wheels touch the ground". Easy formula for greasers!

  • It's all about focus.

    On approuch, focus on the numbers at the near end of the runnway. If they are rising add power. If they are decending decrease power.

    After the round out, focus on the far end of the runnway and try not to let the airplane land. Try this. You may be pleasantly surprised!

    If you want to make a bad landing, look down at the runnway directly in front of you.

    If you want to make a good landing focus on the far end of the runnway.

  • My 25 year old daughter was able to make her first unasisted landing on the very first try by using this method. I told her to make a 1500 RPM approuch focusing on the the numbers.Then fly along the runnway at 3ft. As I talked her in, I told her to pull the throttle back from 1500 RPM to idle as she raised the nose to fly along the runnway at 3ft. Then by focusing clear down to the far end of the runnway, I said "hold it off don't let it land!"Never once did I use the dreded word, flair!

  • @miciex you mean how to apply the break and stop a Cessna? well you use your toe breaks, It's hydraulic powered.

  • THANX ALOT, how to break on Cessana ????, i Mean reservs ?!

  • @rajsingh0621 I think what he is doing is using aim point 2 to maintain centerline. Its not a really big deal on bigger runways but when you land on something narrower its nice to have had the practice.
