redsnail Re: “We have to record in the tech log if we do a landing at Lon City”
Interesting! Many years ago I observed an FAA trial at LCY which recorded landings for future design/certification specs of landing gear; the theory was that steep approaches would create higher touchdown loads. As I recall, the results showed no difference for the types assessed – 146 and Dash 7.
I assume that you are flying a ‘Hawker’ – another solidly designed ‘DH’ aircraft, which should not create any special problems. Excepting any unusual configuration on the approach – I suppose that you are not selecting airbrakes and flap together?
Is the tech log record a local or certification requirement?
