Short Field Landing and Takeoff

 Short Field Landing

  • Set full flaps
  • Establish 60 knots
  • Adjust glide angle with power to clear obstacle and land in first part of runway.
  • Establish 54 knots
  • Enter flare
  • Bring power idle
  • Touch down on main wheels, apply max braking
  • Flaps up 
Short field takeoff

Short Field Technique – Check your POH!

  • Flaps 10°

  • Use entire runway – don’t follow the lead line

  • Stop and hold brakes

  • Apply full power – Mixture Rich (unless >3000’)

  • Check static RPM [POH] / gauges green

    • Full power static RPM: C172 – 2300-2400, C152 – 2280-2380

  • Release brakes

  • Use slight back pressure during roll 

  • Rotate at published speed  

    • C172 – 51 KIAS, C152 – 50 KIAS

  • Climb at published speed until clear of obstacle

    • C172 – 56 KIAS, C152 – 54 KIAS

  •  Accelerate to VY, retract flaps as scheduled



PG 5-12, 5-20

VNC / VTA, Lambert and Mercator, Arc of great circle, Rhumb Lines

Image
 VNC and VTA maps are owned by nav canada.  This pdf shows current version and next planned update: https://www.navcanada.ca/en/vfrchartlist.pdf For general VFR dead reckoning airspace navigation: VNC - 1 : 500,000 This is a Lambert conformal conic projection. A line on this map is an arc of a great circle and will match your compass heading after you add variation (on the map as isogonal / agonic lines) and deviation (your airplanes specific compass' error card), though it will not stay the same if you want to follow the great circle. This is impossible to navigate without computerized navigation.  For busier areas (eg Toronto airspace): VTA - 1 : 250,000 This is a Transverse Mercator Projection .  A line on this map is a direct route to your destination, or a Rhumb line.  Rumb lines are easier to navigate because you use a constant bearing. A Rhumb line is a curved line that meets all meridians at the same angle. Is a straight line on a Transverse Mercator P...
