What is the rate of descent when the flare maneuver is executed?(a) 6 ft/sec(b) 12ft/sec(c) 20ft/sec(d) 3ft/sec |

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. |
