B737 Landing Technique
During intermediate approach - before glideslope capture
• Speed is controlled by pitch
• Rate of descent is controlled by thrust
During final approach - after glideslope capture
• Speed is controlled by thrust
• Rate of descent is controlled by pitch
Pitch & Power Settings on Final Approach
• Use 5deg nose up for initial flap settings.
• Use 2.5deg nose up for flap 30.
• For flap 30, start with 55% N1, then adjust as required.
Stabilise the aircraft at the selected approach speed with a constant
RoD between approx 600 to 800 fpm on a desired glide path, in trim.
Descent rates above 1000fpm should be avoided.
Visual Aiming Point
Aim for the aiming point markers or your desired gear touchdown point
if no markers are available. Now adjust the final approach glide path
until the selected point is stationary in relation to the aircraft. ie
it does appear to move up or down the windscreen.
The approach lights & runway centerline should run between your legs
until touchdown, then keep the centerline running down your inside
leg.
Flare and Touchdown
After the threshold goes out of sight under the nose, shift the visual
sighting point to a point approximately 3/4 down the runway while
maintaining descent, this will assist in determining the flare point.
Initiate the flare when the main gear is approx 15 feet above the
runway by increasing the pitch attitude by about 3deg and smoothly
bring the thrust levers back to idle. Do not float, but fly the
aircraft onto the runway and accomplish the landing roll procedure.
Notes
• The importance & necessity of achieving a stabilised approach.
• Use of all available clues - visual and instrument.
• Do not wait until "Decision" before taking in the visual picture.
• Below 200ft, the landing is primarily a visual manoeuvre backed up
by instruments.
• The best way to judge the flare near the ground, is to fix your eyes
on a point near the far end of the runway.
• A firm landing in the TDZ is a good one, a smooth landing outside
the TDZ is bad - despite any comments from the cabin crew.

Good stuff, thnx! But what is TDZ?

I didn't know that CL was fluent in Traditional Chinese! :-)
Anybody know what this is all about?

Just remember, if you crash because of weather, your funeral will be held on
a sunny day.

He only sounds like that, when he's drunk ;o)

The two replies are using a strange unknown Font, which is not standard in
here. Maybe if you have the full MS Office 2007 installed, you will be able
to read the text, or turning on HTML might do the trick :o/

....Or I could click on "Install" on the pop-up that appears...yes!?
I was reluctant to do that when it first appeared in case all my text turned
into Chinese. :-)
I assume neither of them posted in 'Traditional Chinese', so why did the
pop-up state Traditional Chinese, have you, or anybody else for that matter,
any idea? Just curious.

The only time an aircraft has too much fuel on board is when it is on fire

far cry from flying a C152 on final.....eh
keep that nose down when applying flaps on final in a C152.

My mailreader (Thunderbird) tells me that Didier's post is using Chinese
character encoding. Maybe he bought his copy of Windows in a Hong Kong
fleamarket. OTOH he is using 40tude as a mail client. hmmm...

I married a Chinese but we devorced shortly after the wedding night. When I
proposed a 69, she asked if I wanted peppers with that menu.

Never fly the 'A' model of anything.

Never fly in the same cockpit with someone braver than you.
