Landing the Lear 45
Posted: Fri Jun 03, 2011 7:27 am
Hi guys,
Quick question - what are the best techniques for landing the default Lear 45?
At 120-130 knots and full flaps, it comes in at a high aoa - so I know that extra flaring isn't necessary - but the the nose wheel doesn't seem to want to "fall" naturally like the Boeing aircraft - I spent half the runway length with the nosewheel off the ground!
Do you "slam" the nosewheel into the ground with the joystick rather than let it fall naturally?
