AN INVESTIGATION OF LANDING-CONTACT CONDITIONS FOR TWO LARGE TURBOJET TRANSPORTS AND A TURBOPROP TRANSPORT DURING ROUTINE DAYLIGHT OPERATIONS

Abstract

Statistical results are presented of an investigation to determine the vertical velocity, airspeed, rolling velocity, bank angle, and distance from the runway threshold, just prior to ground contact. A total of 395 landings of two turbojet transports and a turboprop transport were made on a dry runway at the Los Angeles International Airport. (Author)
