This is the way was taught it starting from being lined up on the runway
1- Full power, keep straight with rudder
2 - at 60kts pull back gently to lift the plane off the ground
3 - adjust pitch attitude to hold 70kts and trim
4 - at approx. 200 ft check t's & p's
5 - at 500 - 600 ft turn left 90 degrees (allowing for wind)
6 - at 950 ft push forward to level off and watch speed increase to 90kts then reduce throttle to 2250 rpm and trim
7 - turn left another 90 degrees (the upwind end of the runway should now be at 10 o'clock
8 - when the upwind end of the runway is off the end of the wing call downwind
9 - pre landing checks - BUMFECHH
B Brakes (press and check for pressure)
U undercarriage (fixed)
M mixture full rich
F fuel sufficient on gauges to go around (on planes with selectable tanks would be fullest tank selected)
E engine (t's & p's in the green)
C carb heat to hot (on)
H harnesses secure (seatbelts)
H hatches secure (doors)
All the while making sure you are not closing or moving away from the runway
10 - with the landing end of the runway at about 8 o'clock turn left 90 degrees
11 - reduce power to idle and hold level
12 - when speed is in the white arc select 20 deg flap
13 - wind the trim wheel back (or down) 2 and half turns, plane should settle in the descent at 70 kts (small adjustments as necessary)
14 - (the hardest part for me) gauge whether you are too low or too high and add small amount of power if too low, or turn slightly away from the runway if too high.
15 - start to turn final slightly before the runway and adjust turn, you should be at approx. 600ft at this point.
16 - select landing flap
17 - call final
18 - adjust attitude and power to keep the runway where it should be in the window and 70 kts
19 - at 100ft decide whether its going to plan and if not go around
20 - at 15 to 20ft raise the nose gently to level (you should be at 5 - 10 ft when you reach level) and reduce throttle to idle
21 - try and keep the plane flying by gently increasing back pressure
22 - the plane will land!
throughout this, from the moment you enter the runway keep a good lookout and listen for other aircraft on the radio.
And never be afraid to put on full power and go around even if the wheels have touched down!
I've made it sound like a lot of work and at first it is but it becomes routine, and you will do this for hours and suddenly you will be able to do it!
