jetdriven Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 If you get to pattern altitude at 140-160 KIAS about 1.5 miles from the downwind turn with 18" of power set, the plane will slow to 100 KIAS in level flight which is way easier on your gear doors and actuator.

jlunseth Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Quote: DaV8or Just curious, have those that don't touch anything except gear until final tried an experimental go around with cruise mixture and cruise prop? I haven't, so I can't comment on how well this works or doesn't work, but I'm wondering if it works just fine or not. By not adjusting those things, it assumes that you will always remember to correct those things in the event of a go-around. Seems reasonable to test and see what happens if you don't.

Hank Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 If it's not there already, I push Mixture and Prop forward when I deploy Takeoff Flaps on downwind. At shorter fields, that is immediately followed by gear down then lots of cranking on the trim wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 Seems to happen in both "Post Reply" and "Quick Reply." I hit "submit" and there are four, six, ten, twelve posts. Like this time, it seemed to make a new post with each letter that I typed. But still, for the price, this forum can't be beat! I swear, I keep my fingers away from the "Enter" key . . . . .
