Mons flare - new technique
hi guys
anybody heard of the new flare technique going around...?
similar to the jacobson flare technique but has more emphasis on power control.
airbus guys have been using it for years apparently, includes a triple check at 50ft, cutting power halfway through the third retard call, and a series of aiming points past the last touchdown markers which transition during the approach each time an auto callout is made (ie 'minima', '100', '50', '30', '50').
not sure how it works in a crosswind though. maybe they could test it out with one of those new crosswind machines.
