Commercial Pilot Flight Maneuvers Briefing


Short and Soft Field Takeoffs and Landings

1. What flap setting should you use for a short-field takeoff? What setting should you use for a soft-field takeoff?

2. During a short-field approach and landing over a 50 foot obstacle, why is it necessary to establish a constant angle of descent over the obstacle?

3. Explain the effects of torque and P-factor on aircraft control during a short-field takeoff?

4. What climb speed should you use during the initial portion of the short-field takeoff?

5. How can you increase breaking effectiveness during the landing roll after a short-field approach and landing?

6. At approximately what airspeed will the aircraft become airborne during a soft-field takeoff?

7. At what point during the soft-field takeoff do you begin to climb?

8. At what point during the soft-field takeoff do you retract the flaps?

9. Do you use power during the landing flare and touchdown during a soft-field landing? Explain.

10. Explain the correct usage of the controls during a crosswind takeoff.

11. Assume a left crosswind during a landing approach. Explain the correct use of controls during the approach, flare, and landing.

12. What is the maximum demonstrated crosswind component for the aircraft? Is this a limitation? Explain.

13. What effect does flap usage have on approach speed and decent angle?

14. If the aircraft is low and slow on final approach, what corrective action should you take?

15. Explain the procedures for executing a go-around in the aircraft?

16. What is the significance of the "key position" during landing?

17. During a short-field approach and landing, how accurately must you land the aircraft relative to a selected touchdown point?
