Different landing configurations play a vital role in pilot training, and understanding when and how to use them is key to safe and effective flying.

In this video, Head of Training Paul Mescal demonstrates a landing using a 40° flap setting, showcasing a steeper, more controlled approach and reduced landing speed on final.

Using full flap allows for increased drag and lift, enabling the aircraft to descend more steeply while maintaining stability. This technique is particularly useful in shorter runway scenarios or when precise control is required during the final stages of landing.

As always, the footage highlights the importance of smooth handling, correct airspeed management, and strong situational awareness throughout the approach and touchdown.

At Trim Flying Club, we ensure our pilots gain hands-on experience with a variety of landing techniques, preparing them for real-world flying conditions.
