Short-Field Approach and Landing

Objective:

To teach the pilot the proper procedures and technique for flying the airplane at one of its crucial performance capabilities while close to the ground in order to safely land within confined areas.

Content:

Before Flight:

When is this used?
Airspeed control even more critical than normal landings
Wider than normal pattern should be flown to allow time for proper setup
See aircraft AFM/POH for specific procedures
Region of reversed command and its applicability to short field approaches

During Flight:

Instructor demonstrates maneuver, then student executes according to procedures discussed during preflight

See aircraft AFM/POH

See AFH C. 8-17

See relevant figures in AFH C. 8

Completion Standards:

The lesson is complete when the student can fly a stabilized short-field approach and landing at 1.3VSO +- 5 knots and can touch down at or within 100 feet beyond the specified point of landing. The instructor must also determine that the student has the appropriate knowledge required for short-field landings by giving an oral or written exam.
