70-75kts and 1/3 flap

1) Timing run at 500ft AGL, working out distance using the rough formula IAS divided by 2 multiplied by time in seconds which will provide rough length in metres. Also inspecting the undershoot / overshoot for the following leg.

2) Visual inspection at 200ft, and inspecting suitability for the following leg.

3) Final visual inspection at 50ft. Only needs to be flown if something on the strip warrants closer inspection.

I don't think that there is a standard procedure for a prec search so it will be interesting to hear how others do it.
