Landing
When reaching the runway approach lights, set flaps 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 configured for final
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 flare. At 20-30 feet AGL set the
power levers to idle, pull the flight controls slightly to flare for touch-
down. 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 proce-
dures as outlined in the manuals “NORMAL PROCEDURES” section
(Box versions: You can find this part of the manual in a PDF file on
your CD-ROM).
Thank you for following this tutorial, and we hope that you enjoyed
the flight!
