Stopping a light twin on sheet ice
I am about to set off for the deep Arctic in my Aztec and will be visiting some places where, although there are runways, they will be covered in sheet ice at this time of year, so I need to perfect my technique for stopping with nil surface friction.
Obviously (at least I hope it is obvious) I shall land with full flap, fully held off, as slowly as possible, I will then keep the nose as high as possible for as long as possible to get the maximum aerodynamic braking.
My question is, once all three wheels are on the ground should I leave the flaps down for maximum aerodynamic braking, or should I raise the flaps to reduce lift and therefore get more weight on the wheels?
(The flap lever is far enough from the gear lever to make confusion unlikely)
