PART III-HANDLING
CIRCUIT PROCEDURE
AND LANDING
71. Circuit procedure
NOTE.-460 lb. of fuel should be allowed for the circuit
and landing.
(a) Reduce speed to below 250 knots with the airbrakes, then
open the throttle to give 6,500 to 7,000 r.p.m. Lower the
undercarriage and trim out the resultant foot loads. (See
para. 65 (c)(ii).) A comfortable speed for the downwind
leg is 180 to 200 knots.
(b) Cheeks before landing
Undercarriage Down. 3 green lights
Brakes Pressure, operation, off.
Supply 3,150 ± 150. Each
wheel 1,750 lb./sq. in.
Boost switch off.
Flaps As required. Limit switch to
LANDING.
Fuel Contents.
Harness Tight and locked.
(c) Approach
(i) Turn on finals, at 170 knots, then lower full flop. At
maximum overload landing weight in turbulent
conditions a speed as high as 200 knots for the turn
will he found to be more comfortable. Steep and/or
turning approaches are not recommended.
(ii) To ensure quick engine response, r.p.m. should be
maintained above 5,500.
(iii) The recommended minimum speeds at which to cross
the runway threshold are:-
At normal landing weight (No
ammunition and 800 lb. or less
fuel) ... ... ... ... ... 140
At maximum normal landing weight
(17,000 lb.) ... ... ... ... 145-150
At maximum overload landing weight
(Full fuel and ammunition) ... ... 16066
