Summary

TLDRIn this tutorial, airline pilot Emanuel shares expert insights on achieving a stable and smooth landing with the PMG 7. He outlines the criteria for a stabilized approach, emphasizing the importance of maintaining speed, localizer, glide slope, and aircraft configuration. Emanuel also provides tips on manual corrections, the flare and touchdown process, and the use of auto throttle. His guide offers practical advice for pilots, ensuring a safe and controlled landing experience.

Takeaways

  • 😀 The importance of a stabilized approach in landing, which begins well before the actual touchdown.
  • 📐 The stabilized approach criteria must be met by the time the aircraft passes the stabilized approach gate, typically at 1,000 ft above aerodrome elevation.
  • 🔍 The optional equipment of the white bar on the altimeter helps identify the stabilized approach gate.
  • 📉 Maintaining a stable approach requires being on speed within a narrow range, on the localizer within one dot of deviation, and within glide slope tolerances.
  • ✈️ The Triple 7 aircraft requires special attention to speed and pitch control to avoid destabilizing the approach.
  • 🛫 For manual approaches, small corrections are key to maintaining stability, with pitch adjustments of only one degree if necessary.
  • 🚀 Boeing recommends keeping the auto throttle engaged for stability, even during manual flying.
  • 📊 The flare and touchdown process begins at approximately 200 ft, with a focus on not prolonging the flare to ensure a smooth landing.
  • 🛬 Upon touchdown, the reverse thrust should be engaged, and speed brakes should extend, with auto brakes generally performing better than manual.
  • 🛤️ Exiting the runway should be done at specific speeds depending on the type of taxiway, ensuring the entire aircraft has cleared the runway.
  • 📝 The tutorial emphasizes the need for precise speed control, small control inputs, and reliance on peripheral vision during the final stages of landing.

Q & A

  • What is the main topic of the video tutorial?

    -The main topic of the video tutorial is landing techniques for the Triple 7 aircraft, with a focus on achieving a stabilized approach and smooth touchdown.

  • Who is the presenter of the tutorial?

    -The presenter of the tutorial is Emanuel, an airline pilot and a PMG 7 beta tester.

  • What is the significance of the 'stabilized approach gate' in aviation?

    -The stabilized approach gate is a point, usually at 1,000 ft above aerodrome elevation, where certain criteria must be met to ensure a stable approach for landing.

  • What are the criteria for a stabilized approach according to the script?

    -The criteria for a stabilized approach include being on speed within +10 or -5 knots of the target speed, on the localizer within one dot of deviation, within one dot on the glide slope, having the flaps set appropriately, and the aircraft in landing configuration with the landing checklist completed.

  • Why is it important to maintain a stabilized approach?

    -Maintaining a stabilized approach is important because it helps ensure a safe and smooth landing, reducing the risk of deviations that could lead to unstable approaches or go-arounds.

  • What is the recommended action if the glide slope starts deviating during the approach?

    -If the glide slope starts deviating, the recommended action is to make small corrections by pitching up or down by about one degree to catch the glide slope again, and only correct stronger if the deviation continues.

  • What does Boeing recommend regarding the use of auto throttle during manual flying?

    -Boeing recommends keeping the auto throttle engaged at all times, even when flying manually, although it is not a requirement and pilots have the choice to turn it off if they prefer.

  • At what altitude does the script suggest starting the flare for landing?

    -The script suggests starting the flare for landing at approximately 30 to 50 ft above the ground.

  • What should a pilot do after the aircraft touches down on the runway?

    -After the aircraft touches down, the pilot should engage reverse thrust as needed, verify that the speed brakes have extended, and maintain the runway centerline while decelerating.

  • How should a pilot vacate the runway after landing?

    -A pilot should vacate the runway by reducing speed to about 55 knots or less for rapid exit taxiways and 10 knots or less for normal taxiways, ensuring the entire aircraft is clear of the runway before turning off.

  • What additional resource is mentioned for those interested in more detailed information on landing techniques?

    -For those interested in more detailed information, the presenter mentions his 'ultimate Triple 7 guide ebook' available in the video description.
