Landing Technique....Not that old chestnut!!
This topic has been done to death on this forum but not for atleast 3 months, so I thought Id stir the pot.
Im interested how people teach the landing. My employer has us teach the following:
On final airspeed is controlled by power and flightpath is controlled by elevator. As the aircraft passes the threshold, where the TCH is 25' power is reduced to idle over 3 seconds and the nose attitude gently raised to what is defined as the "landing attitude". In this attitude your eyes are looking at the end of the runway- typically.
Other employers teach power=airspeed, elevator=path, however the flare is commenced when a pre-conceived point on the runway is overtaken by the glareshield ie obscured by the glare shield. At this point the aimpoint changes to points progressively further along the runway. When the final aim point does not move up or down in the windscreen, the landing attitude is selected.
Does anyone have a different idea as to how they land? Id be particularly interested in what the jet guys have to say.
