Hi there All,
First landing we made with F-LH were poor and bumpy as we managed them like
we did with the Cessna 172!
We discovered that speed is a point but feet and rudder efficiency is
critical and landing was much better with a bit of power and fan blowing. As
stall speed full flap is about 46-48, approach is done at 70 Knots, short
final by 60 and then reducing power to touch by 52-55 but still with some
blowing. This is made the ship nose up quite a lot... This could make the
landing a bit longer but yet we had ever at least 600 meters. Next exercise
will be for us to define a "short landing procedure"
Cheers,
Max Cointe

Thanks for the answers Frans and David.
...want to explore a
slightly lower speed to see if I can reduce the float and land shorter. I
know just a few knots can make quite a difference.
...I'll have a play - no need on my home 450m, but could be interesting
elsewhere.
I'll have to go and remind myself of the full flap stall speed, but from
memory I think mine is a bit higher than yours, I seem to recall something
around 48kts, but I will check.
-Carl.
