Question

How about setting the aircraft up for a landing deep into the runway length...then shutting down the engine and gliding the last few hundred yards.

Hold the controls to keep the affected "third" of the aircraft from striking the ground until just short of stalling speed - then deliberately lower the affected area to make ground contact whilst having positive control.

This could save a propeller replacement, a CSU replacement and an engine replacement.

Just a thought...any comments?

And...as the original question suggests nose wheel and one main have extended and locked...would it be prudent to land at the edge of the runway...keeping nose wheel and main leg on the hard stuff but the "soon to be scratched" wingtip over the grass?
