Is Your Landing Checklist Designed to Create an Unstable Approach?
April 1, 2020
How many steps in your landing (or before landing) checklist after you extend the landing gear?
(I heard one particular Hawker checklist has 16 steps AFTER the landing gear.) In the Gulfstream GIV there are five steps after the gear is extended. In the G500 (shown here), there are two. So we are getting better.
If your checklist keeps you busy that close to landing, what are your chances of flying a stable approach? How would you fix it? Please send Eddie (use the contact button) a copy of your checkist and how you would improve it.

Always remember that Eddie, when you get right down to it, is just a pilot. He tries to give you the facts from the source materials but maybe he got it wrong, maybe he is out of date. Sure, he warns you when he is giving you his personal techniques, but you should always follow your primary guidance (Aircraft manuals, government regulations, etc.) before listening to Eddie.
