I'd only practice ILS "peddle faster!" approaches. You'll only get the
request at a large airport and then you'll always get it on the ILS. Large airplanes fly the ILS at 140 to 160, so if you go from 90 to 120 kts, you'll help them alot, and in my Arrow, the procedure is: Fly the approach with trim, leave power in. At breakout, pull power and wait for 150 MPH or lower. Lower the gear. Wait for 100 MPH. Lower flaps. Land. Never had a complaint. As for breakout, I don't worry about speed. At these airports there is plenty of runway and the arrow stops on a dime... Now, if I were in a Mooney......... -- remove underscores to email "Ben Jackson" wrote in message news:N1t4b.316097$o%2.144170@sccrnsc02... A few questions about fast (by spamcan standards) approaches in busy terminal environments: 1) Is there any point in practicing any "best forward speed" approaches besides the ILS? 2) How fast is fast enough? Obviously 120kts is better than 90kts (maybe 1.5m less time after you turn onto the localizer), but does the additional 20-30 seconds saved by going 130-140kts make a difference? 3) Do you fly these in a different flap/gear configuration or just use more power? 4) Do you try this even when expecting to break out at minimums (with less time to slow down)? -- Ben Jackson http://www.ben.com/ |
