I'm particularly interested in the 'energy left to flare' statement - where does one find info on how that energy is calculated?
The reason for the interest is that there was an accident to a Dehavilland Buffalo at Farnborough many years ago when a short landing was being demonstrated at a very slow airspeed. Flare didn't do anything and a very hard landing ensued.
Can someone point me in the right direction about energy and the flare and arresting rate of descent?
