What is the rate of descent when the flare maneuver is executed?(a) 6 ft/sec(b) 12ft/sec(c) 20ft/sec(d) 3ft/secThis question was addressed to me during a job interview.I need to ask this question from Mechanics of Landing topic in division Landing Systems & Air-Traffic Management of Avionics

Answer»

The CORRECT choice is (d) 3ft/sec

The BEST I can EXPLAIN: Land based aircraft are not designed to touch down at the 6 to 16ft/sec sink RATE that exists along the glide path. Thus, a flare MANEUVER must be executed to reduce the descent rate to less than 3ft/sec at touchdown.
