Does slowing from REF + 40 to REF just 3 miles from the runway count as a stabilized approach?

Again, I fly the ultra. And this is very easy. Hell you can be at ref+ a lot at 1000', pull to idle and be adding power to make the runway. I know that is not possible in the X

i agree, straighten the plane out before touchdown. Like my CFI instructor Frank Varsolona says, "dont land all cadiwhompas"

ski....what's wrong with discussing technique on an aviation forum?

I agree that discussion is a good thing.

My other gripe is some (most) of these captains are really hard on the planes while taxiing. Jerky turns and braking. And they rarely follow the rampers directions.

And they rarely follow the rampers directions.

If you follow most rampers you may end up on a runway or in a swamp. FBO rampers do not have a clue.

Do you NJ guys/ gals ever do flap 15' for landing w/ strong gusty x-winds? Or does NJ not allow it? It seems to allow alot more rudder authority and flatter deck angle w/ only a 5-7 knt increase in ref. Our department uses it all the time if the runway length is allowable.

Just curious-

We just did a flaps 15 landing yesterday.......not for gusty winds though. We had a Hyd A low quantity, and had to blow the gear down. The emerg pneumatic brakes worked like a champ too! I think our ref speed was only 120....not a whole lot of difference from a full flaps landing. Lots of fun being towed off the runway!

Yes... I did Flaps 15 landings strong gusty xwinds.
