PART IV - EMERGENCY HANDLING
(iv) Make a powered approach at the normal speed.
On touch-down set H.P. cock OFF and maintain a
moderate nose-up attitude.
(v) Trim the tailplane to give full nose-up trim and as
the speed falls below 100 knots maintain a high
nose-up attitude without actually touching the tail
cone on the ground.
----------------------------------------------------------------
A.L.1 Para. (vi) Lower the nose on to the runway at 80-90 knots and
96 (a) (vi) use the brakes gently to keep straight.

(b) Nosewheel and one main wheel locked down
If all attempts to lower the undercarriage satisfactorily
fail and only the nosewheel and one main wheel come
down, make a normal approach and landing; after touch-
down hold the wings level for as long as possible by use
of the ailerons. When aileron is applied and when the
wing finally drops, the aircraft will swing in the direction
of the unlocked wheel; this should be counteracted as
much as possible by opposite brake. Experience has
shown that the distance from the landing path to the
point of rest averages approximately 250 yards, varying
from 100 yards (min.) to 400 yards (max.) A runway
should be chosen which has an area about 400 yards
wide available in the direction of the anticipated swing.
(c) Belly landing
If it is necessary to land with the undercarriage retracted,
make a normal approach and fly the aircraft gently on
to the runway at the normal speed.
97. Landing with a burst tyre
No special difficulty is encountered when landing with a
burst tyre(s), directional control and braking being
adequate.
98. Flapless landing
A very long shallow powered approach should be made
and the threshold crossed at the normal speed. Even
