Steps to land a 1900. I used to fly a 1900C.
When the RLW is High.
1. Torque on Final 1200- 1050ft lbs. Maintain Vref+ 10 - 15 Max.
2. At 100 feet above TDZ. Bring the torque back to roughly 700 ft lbs.
(You will notice an mild sink rate increase).
3. At 50 feet above TDZ. Start reducing the torque from 700 ft lbs to 0 slowly but steadily. Counter the Sink Rate utilizing flare.
IF THE CONTROLS BECOME TOO HEAVY UTILIZE PITCH TRIM BUT ONLY DO SO BELOW 20 FEET ABOVE TDZ.
When the RLW is LOW
1. Torque on Final 950-1050ft lbs. Maintain Vref+ 10.
2. At 100 feet above TDZ. Bring the torque back to roughly 500 ft lbs.
(You will notice an mild sink rate increase).
3. At 50 feet above TDZ. Start reducing the torque from 500 ft lbs to 0 slowly but steadily. Counter the Sink Rate utilizing flare.
IF THE CONTROLS BECOME TOO HEAVY UTILIZE PITCH TRIM BUT DO SO ONLY BELOW 15-10 FEET ABOVE TDZ.
REMEMBER FOR CROSS WIND LANDINGS IT IS RECOMMENDED TO CLOSE THE POWER 5-10 FEET EARLIER THAN THE NORMAL PROFILE TO PREVENT FLOATING.
The 1900 is a fantastic machine for the transition from a piston to a turbine. I enjoyed my training and line flying on this aircraft immensely. Unlike some one who mentioned that the aircraft cannot be greased. If you utilize the right technique you can grease her in such a way that it makes you wonder if the wheels have actually touched the runway. I already miss the 1900 but hey I am not complaining sitting on the RHS of a shiny jet.
Happy Landings
