The approach for the soft-field landing is similar to the normal approach. The final approach speed for a soft field approach and landing should be the same as is used for a short field technique to minimuze float once you enter ground effect. Execute your soft field approach and landing with these steps: 1.

If utilizing Runway 17 with left traffic, the crosswind turn will be heading 080, downwind 350, base 260, etc. VFR to MVFR…then 2 miles visibility and a ceiling of 1,200 feet agl. Then the CFI should increase the winds so they are 10 knots (or more) above the demonstrated crosswind component. What could go wrong?

It only takes a 10% increase in approach speed to increase the landing roll by 20%. These obstacles frequently affect the approach and missed approach paths. Plan your approach path carefully to eliminate large pitch and power changes. x V SO (or POH recommendation) by around 500 feet AGL.

As you approach the airport, monitor UNICOM for landing or departing traffic. Another performance factor is the approach speed. The slower the approach, the shorter the landing distance. Many aircraft have specific recommended normal and short-field approach speeds. It will allow you to fine-tune your approach.

Once in position and any crosswind corrections noted, takeoff power should be applied smoothly and continuously while holding the brakes until the maximum obtainable engine power. Establish cruise climb above a minimum safe altitude (500-1000’ AGL). Ensure that the items on the Line-up Checklist have been completed and/or reviewed.

Some high performance aircraft POHs admonish you to refrain from actually landing in this configuration, but there is value in experiencing the different deck angle that results from a no flap approach before you actually have to do it – at night – in reduced visibility – for real.

You completed the climb check at 300 ft AGL. The engine quits at 500 ft AGL. Increased ground speed gives you little time to prepare for a safe approach and landing. If you have a left crosswind and are banking left, you’ll have a tighter turn, which is beneficial. Let’s use a scenario to give us some context.
