Flight should be planned with at least a 10% remaining on touchdown. A normal landing pattern uses about 8% fuel.
Reduce airspeed
550 km/h during approach.
Check landing gear indicator (3 green fields)
Preselect thrust reversal
if desired.
Set HUD reflector
lower setting (landing mode)
Do not fly below an airspeed corresponding to 12° α (AoA).
Turn final during descent with a minimum airspeed of 12° α (AoA)
Check indicated airspeed at 1 G that a reasonable value for current weight.
Aim for a 3° angle of descent and reduce airspeed to correspond to 12° α (AoA). The
line in the HUD during LANDN P/O corresponds to 2.86°.
Place the descent line on the runway threshold and centre the sight dot on the centreline, steer the flight path indicator onto the line. Maintain attitude. Strive for a touchdown at about 100-200 metres in on the runway
At 15 metres altitude above the runway (30 if not using the radar altimeter), the HUD
will change to the descent rate mode. The previous 2.86° line represents the maximum
vertical velocity (2.96 m/s).
Thrust reversal (if preselected) will activate once nose wheel is depressed.
to use thrust reversal go full throttle
Set landing base as destination
Press L MÅL
Set QFE pressure on altimeter
Select runway heading
cycle runway heading, BANA/ UT (OUT) and press LS
Set master mode LANDN NAV about 30 km away from the destination
Set Autothrottle ON if desired. Autopilot mode SPAK ON.
Follow steering commands on the HUD or ADI
If using TILS to land, check that TILS is locked (TILS light lit) and used after the
LB turn is complete. If using a short approach set master mode to LANDN P/O and
then return the master mode selector to LANDN NAV in order to select the touchdown point LF as destination.
Check backup artificial horizon
