Landing
Braking with A/S Braking without A/S Reverse thrust with X wind X wind landing Apply full braking Apply progressive constant braking Avoid reverse trust if A/C in crab Reduce X wind by 5 knots if assymetric reverse zero crab landing not recommanded if x wind exceeds 17 kts or 23 with flaps 40 Use Flap 30 for speed margin Landing distance is less than TO distance Except on Wet/Contaminated RWY ( check PI ) Reduce Weight by increasing drag Brake Energy Limits not exceeded for F 30 or F40 You can go to speed 20 kts below Maneuvring Speed with normal bank. No 15 protection overbank No Autoland recommanded
