Vref & landing
Hello All
Whats is the correct speed for landing a jet ? It has been suggested to me that you should land at Vref !
Im new to a jet and my technique for landing has always been Vref over the threshold and then, it becomes a visual thing.
So in my new type (Hawker 800) I maintain Vref till over the threshold and then when I hear the 20ft call I slowly reduce the power - level off and catch the sink with a bit of nose up which gives a nose up attitude for landing, this way of course the speed bleeds off and on a couple of occasions a fraction of a sec before landing the stall warner has sounded (is this wrong ?), I thought this would be a good thing as it means you are landing at a slow speed and making the most of aerodynamic drag.
Look forward to your replys !!
