 Little River, TX | Know you numbers for the weight and flap configuration before you start the approach.
Usually the book will have a high and a low number. The high number is for max gross weight, and the lower number is for one 170 lb pilot and a quarter of a tank of last gas tank.
Pilots who learn to judge speed by looking at the ground going by is no problem as long as you are a sea level pilot landing at sea level. A 4,500 ft filed elevation pilot will be traveling a higher TAS on approach than the same IAS will at sea level. Using ground travel the sea level pilot will stop flying well short of the runway and the 4,500 ft pilot will never get the plane on the ground.
Anything much beyond this will be beyond my level of ignorance. | |
