AV-8B Conventional Landing Technique from NATOPS

The AV-8B NATOPS is available from: http://info.publicintelligence.net/AV-8B-000.pdf (36Mb)

The article about F-35B conventional landings makes this reference to AV-8B Harrier conventional landings "...working its [AV-8B] jet nozzles more or less the same way [as VL or RVLs]...". Attached are clickable thumbnails to the relevant AV-8B NATOPS pages describing such a conventional landing with 'nozzle use' highlighted. Text excerpt is from same NATOPS:

"...7.6.7 Conventional Landing
A standard CL, Figure 7-7, requires substantially greater distance to stop than a SL or RVL. Landing distance available is a critical consideration when performing a CL. The brakes are designed primarily for V/STOL and are marginal for a CL without PNB; therefore, No PNB CLs should be used only as an emergency procedure. Refer to Performance Data, A1--AV8BB--NFM--400, for stopping distance with and without PNB...." PNB = Power Nozzle Braking
