mventuri landing speed
180 mph was not far off the maximum speed fully loaded of the old Mark I Halifax. ! The recommended landing speed for the later Halifax 111 (Bristol Hercules engines ) taken from my tattered copy of Pilots Notes gives the following; Recommended speeds for the approach with full flap at 55,000lbs. Engine assisted....110(115)mph I.A.S. Glide120(125)mph I.A.S.
The "Mislanding" (sic) procedure is interesting...The aircraft shows no change of trim when throttles are opened with flaps and u/c down unless the elevator trim has been wound fully back. Climb away at 100(105)mph I.A.S., raise flaps to 40down and then raise u/c, then increase speed to 145-150 mph I.A.S. Note If propellors are set to 2,400 r.p.m., set fully up immediately should it be necessary to use more than plus 6lbs. boost.
As a matter of interest the maximum speed in Diving is given as 320mph.! I never saw that on the clock even upside down ! Regle
