SOME ASPECTS OF AUTOMATIC FLAREOUT PERFORMANCE,

Abstract

The broad principles of the (Blind Landing Experimental Unit) flareout system are explained and some typical flight and analogue computer records of autoflares are presented. The effect of wind variation is discussed. Difficulties which may be experienced include unfavourable ground effect, loss of lift from the throttling of large propeller engines and excessive nose-down attitude during approach. Examples are shown which indicate their effect on the automatic flare. (Author)
