You Don't Ever Want To Do A Real Full Stall Landing

[Colonel]

The Ace Air Canada Nipple Rouge Four Bars tried it in Jamaica and blew out the landing gear:

[quote]At 40 feet AGL the airspeed had dropped to 115 KIAS, the pitch was 9.9 degrees nose up at 13.9 degrees angle of attack... touchdown occurred about 125 feet past the runway threshold at the maximum of [u]15.3 degrees angle of attack[/u], 7.7 degrees nose up, 108 KIAS and a vertical load of +3.12G[/quote]

Don't do that, ok?

On the bright side, they landed on the runway they were cleared for, which is above average for them.

So, on the AC scale of landing, hard landing being YHZ, this would be average/normal?

Any time those guys show up with their shoelaces
tied and their flies zipped up, I’m impressed.

Are we talking about Air Canada or the Civil Air Patrol?
