Landing
When reaching the runway approach lights, set aps to full (40°) and increase
the propeller levers slowly to maximum RPM (Cheyenne II and IIXL only). The
speed depletes slowly, and with 500 ft-lb torque, and your airspeed at the blue
line you are fully congured for nal approach. Latest at 200 ft AGL switch off
the autopilot and the yaw damper to continue the approach manually.
When passing 50 feet AGL prepare to are. At 20-30 feet AGL set the power
levers to idle, pull the ight controls slightly to are for touchdown. Your landing
speed should be around 90 KIAS, depending on the airplane model and weight.
To decelerate after touchdown, move the power levers into REVERSE range (use
the <F2> key or the mouse wheel on the center pedestal power levers), and apply
wheel brakes carefully. When the speed drops below 40 KIAS, set the power
levers back to IDLE and continue to apply brakes to slow down to taxi speed. As
mentioned before you may want to set to power levers to BETA Range now to
avoid high taxi speeds (especially as the plane usually taxies faster now due to
the reduced weight).
When the runway is vacated, turn OFF landing lights, strobes and recognition
lights. Turn ON taxi lights and set your transponder to SBY. Continue to taxi to your
parking position. When your parking position is reached, set the parking brake,
then perform the shutdown procedures as outlined in the manuals “NORMAL
PROCEDURES” section (Box versions: You can nd this part of the manual in a
PDF le on your CD-ROM).
