I just published a video of a flight from Montauk to Block Island. It was recorded with 2 cameras: One showing the panel and the other under the wing, looking outside. Please checkout the rising terrain in front of the threshold. This makes the flights to Block Island challenging. There may be downdrafts on short final but on the other hand, you cannot add too much speed because of the short runway. This video also shows how important a good speed management is during the approach to a short and challenging airport. As you can see in the video: The approach was flown with about 71 knots and then the speed was reduced to arrive with about 64 knots over the threshold. Flare was short and landing smooth.- 6 replies
