Exercise 9
THE APPROACH AND LANDING
CFS Gliding Examiners © 2009
Gliding Scholarship
To fly the approach and land the aircraft
AIM
Gliding Scholarship
1. Awareness of other aircraft in the circuit – look out and listen out
2. Effects of wind and selection of approach speed
AIRMANSHIP
Gliding Scholarship
You will learn:How to recognise the normal approach
How to recognise and correct an undershoot
How to recognise and correct an overshoot
How to fly the approach
How to land the aircraft
How to recover from a balloon and a bounce
THE APPROACH AND LANDING
Gliding Scholarship
THE NORMAL APPROACH
THE NORMAL APPROACH
Gliding Scholarship
THE NORMAL APPROACH
Note appearance of runway
Correct approach speed (adjust with attitude)
Aiming point steady in windscreen
Aiming Point
Gliding Scholarship
THE NORMAL APPROACH
Note appearance of runway Aiming point steady
in windscreen
Aiming PointAircraft tracking down intended landing run
Correct approach speed (adjust with attitude)
Gliding Scholarship
THE UNDERSHOOT
THE UNDERSHOOT
Gliding Scholarship
THE UNDERSHOOTNote ‘flatter’ appearance of runway as aiming point moves up windscreen
Aircraft aiming short of aiming point
Attitude and airspeed correct
Gliding Scholarship
THE UNDERSHOOT
To correct an undershoot, reduce
airbrake setting until correct
approach path is achieved
Gliding Scholarship
THE OVERSHOOT
THE OVERSHOOT
Gliding Scholarship
THE OVERSHOOTNote ‘steeper’ appearance of runway as aiming point moves down windscreen
Aircraft aiming beyond aiming
point
Attitude and airspeed correct
Gliding Scholarship
THE OVERSHOOT
To correct an overshoot,
increase airbrake setting until correct
approach path is achieved
Gliding Scholarship
FLYING THE APPROACH
FLYING THE APPROACHThen adopt the workcycle:
Attitude
Airspeed – control with attitude
Aiming point - control with airbrake
Alignment with landing area – control with bank
Select half airbrake when an overshoot just starts to develop
Gliding Scholarship
THE LANDING
The 3 phases of the landing are:
The round out
The hold off
The ground roll
The ground roll The hold off The round out
THE LANDING
Gliding Scholarship
THE ROUND OUT
The round out is the change in attitude to achieve level flight just above the ground
THE LANDING
The 3 phases of the landing are:
The round out
The hold off
The ground roll
Gliding Scholarship
THE ROUND OUT
The round out is the change in attitude to achieve level flight just above the ground
Look well ahead
Maintain at least half airbrake
Smoothly change attitude
Gliding Scholarship
Progressively raise the nose as the speed decays to maintain level flight just above the
ground and achieve the landing attitude
THE HOLD OFFTHE ROUND OUT
Gliding Scholarship
Progressively raise the nose as the speed decays to maintain level flight just above the
ground and achieve the landing attitude
THE HOLD OFF
Do not alter airbrake setting
Progressively raise nose
Aircraft will touch down in correct attitude
Gliding Scholarship
Maintain control of the aircraft after it touches down until it has come to a stop
THE HOLD OFFTHE GROUND ROLL
Gliding Scholarship
Maintain control of the aircraft after it touches down until it has come to a stop
THE GROUND ROLL
After touchdown, select full airbrake and bring control column fully back
Look well ahead; keep straight with rudder and wings level with aileron
Control effectiveness decreases as speed reduces
Apply wheelbrake gently as required
Once aircraft has stopped, close airbrakes
Gliding Scholarship
THE BALLOON LANDING
THE BALLOON LANDING
A balloon is when the aircraft climbs away from the ground after the round out
Gliding Scholarship
THE BALLOON LANDINGA balloon is when the aircraft climbs
away from the ground after the round out
It often results from flying the approach TOO
FAST with TOO LITTLE AIRBRAKE
Gliding Scholarship
THE BALLOON LANDINGTo recover from the balloon:
Select an attitude to prevent further climb
Maintain airbrake setting
As the aircraft sinks towards the ground, progressively select the landing attitude
Gliding Scholarship
THE BOUNCE
THE BOUNCE
A bounce results from a delayed roundout or touching down before the
aircraft is in the landing attitude
Gliding Scholarship
THE BOUNCEThe recovery is the same as from the balloon:Select an attitude to prevent further climb
Maintain airbrake setting
As the aircraft sinks towards the ground, progressively select the landing attitude
