Flare? Wossa flare please.....
With this class of aircraft, it’s when the ground senses an imminent arrival and gracefully gives way. Of course arriving too quickly can catch the ground unawares; in mild instances it results in a gentle skip, but beware of cold, wet, dark nights with high crosswind, when the ground is very sluggish. |
B777 50.....40....30...20 HEAVE! :}

Cheyenne? II, III. Took delivery of the 7th(?) III produced Oct. 27, 1980.(logbook #1 out of 6). ;)
744 power reduction at 30-40'? :ok: Perfect example that what's normal for one a/c is completely wrong for another airplane. If you went to idle at 30-40' in a Cheyenne or a Navajo there's a high probability that they'll have to get a crane to get the plane off the runway. |
If you went to idle at 30-40' in a Cheyenne or a Navajo there's a high probability that they'll have to get a crane to get the plane off the runway. 16 years flying, pistons, turboprops, medium jets (A320), I don't remember ONCE looking at my speed past the threshold. I try to fly at Vapp/Vref stable until I hear 30/40 feet, thrust idle, flare and let it sit in the TDZ. |
a turboprop will brake like a rock , especially with props forward , when you retard to idle. a jet floats much more in. |
Cheyenne III time? Yes. PM sent.

Cheyenne III time? Yes. PM sent. This is true for most turboprops but not for all. I flew some where it was perfectly fine to go to idle before touchdown. It all depends on the design. Every aircraft is different. best regards |
