Takeoff to Landing

• Takeoff - High RPM Setting, Full Power

• Climb - Top of Green X 3

• Cruise - Lowest RPM for Desired Power

• Descent - Reduce Throttle 1 Inch Per Minute

• Landing - Prop High RPM After Throttle Below ≈18 Inches

P S

Takeoff to LandingMethodology

• Power Increase - Mixture, Prop, Throttle

• Power Decrease - Throttle, Prop Mixture

P S

Power Settings

• High RPM, Low Power - Hardest on Engine

• High Power, Low RPM - Best if OK by POH

• “Over Square” - Absolute Fiction

• Electric Motor, Hydraulic Pump - Arrow, Cutlass, Centurion, Malibu, Saratoga

• Armstrong - Older Mooney

P S

Gear Operation

• Takeoff - No Useable Runway Left, Tap Brakes, Raise Gear

• Downwind or FAF - Gear Down - Hand on Handle Until Down and Locked

• Base or 500 Feet - Confirm Down and Locked

• Short Final - Final Check, Down and Locked

Speed Brakes

• Increase Descent Without Increasing Speed

• Not Particularly Effective at Slow Speeds

• Usually Binary - Either On or Off

P S

Radar

• Indicates Location and Size of Water Drops

• Can Be Masked by Nearby Returns

• Doesn’t Show Where to Fly

• Shows Where NOT to Fly

P S

Turbine

• Simpler Operations

• More Power

• More Bleed Air

• Longer TBO

P S

Avionics

• Glass Cockpits

• EGPWS

• IHAS

P S

Other Differences

• Speed

• Weight (Momentum)

• Number of Seats

• Cargo/Passenger/Fuel Flexibility

• Visibility

• FAA Requirements

• Insurance Requirements

P S

Speed

• Planning Ahead– Communications– Altitude/Power Changes– Charts

• Larger Turn Radius

• Longer Takeoff/Landing Distances

• Longer Range

P S

Weight

• Momentum

• Stability

Learning the New Airplane

• POH

• Checklists

• Simulator

• Dual

• Calibrating the Plane

• Regular Practice

P S

POH

• Section 7 - How Things Work

• Section 9 - How the Other Things Work

• Section 2 - What Can Kill You

• Section 3 - When Things DON’T Work

• Section 4 - Normal Procedures

• Sections 5, 6, and 8

P S

Checklists

• Read the Manufacturer’s Checklist

• Make Your Own!

P S

Simulator

• Type Specific, or It’s Not Worthwhile

• Focus is on Emergency/Abnormal Procs

• May Be Required by Insurance

• Great Place to Fine Tune Checklists

P S

Dual

• Fly With High Time Pro (Current)

• Insist on Lesson Plans and Objectives

P S

Calibrating the Plane

• Power/Flap/Gear Settings That Give Desired Airspeeds for:– Climb

– Cruise

– Descent

– Downwind

– Base

– Final

– Go Around

P S

Practice

• Practice Abnormal Procedures Every Other Month

• Review Emergency Procs Monthly

• Fly With a Pro Every 6 Months
