Pitch on final
Posted: Thu Apr 01, 2021 10:05 pm
I'm having quite some problems flaring the Avanti and not landing it on the nosegear.
My Pitch on final is usually somewhere around -5° using flap full and 120kt approach speed.
In the flare I pull the power off at about 30ft and start bleeding off speed. However even at some 100kt it still gives me zero degrees pitch, leading to nosewheel landings unless I flare excessively long until it finally settles down somewhere between 85 and 95 knots.
Furtheremore I find the pitch angles with the flaps down pretty low, when extending flap full at about 140kt while decellerating I need up to minus seven degrees of pitch to stay on glide.
Am I doing something wrong here? Looking at Videos on youtube at least it doesn't look like the pitch would be *this* low. But well, whatever youtube is worth... Any advise?
