Approach angle vs. landing distance
A lot of the "old-timers" in our Company insist on going below the PAPI/PLASI on finals, in order to achieve a shorter landing distance (steep approach / STOL ops in a DHC8). I have a hard time convincing them that a shallower AA will give a longer ldg.dist. Are there any papers out on this / documentation of some sort? Our AOM is kinda avoiding the topic...
Maybe not the correct forum..?
Thanks anyway! :-)
