I have found with the 206/207/210 that you should leave a small amount of power on until you round out and then dribble it of as you flare, they will land nicely then.. .with the 207, try to avoid flying it on a hot day at mauw coz it simply wont fly or at best will scare the bejezuz out of ya. (Gaunty, those book numbers worked well 20 years ago when it had paint and engine and stuff).. .A lil tip with the 210, DO NOT retract the gear below 90kts or 50ft because they drop down before they go backward and sideways (into the airflow) and can be awfully embarasing when screaching tyres being dragged down the runway sideways attract attention.. .Oh and land the 210 as slow as practicle as the wheel size and brake size are way smaller than whats really required and a burst tyre at MAUW at 80kts is a scarey noise.. .. .they are probabley the best commercial aircraft availabe to do what they do in Australia and have been doing it for a while so that has to speak volumes about them. (if you do the maths you will find that doing what most of em do they are the best $$$ maker around) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
