Standards Doc 20 Section 4

If speeds and techniques for a short field landing are quoted in the Flight Manual, or graphs are available for the applicant to extract the figures required, a short field landing may be required; otherwise a precision approach should be flown to Flight Manual speeds. Crosswind limits should be observed.


Appendix 1

Precision Landing (short field landing). Crosswind Landings, if suitable conditions available.

Correct aircraft configuration, approach path and approach speed. Landing area and braking technique. Complete aircraft manoeuvering (circuit) to establish final approach, normal landing configuration. Maintain stable (trimmed) approach to landing, speed and approach path for landing at normal touch down area.
