a.

land along the swell.

b.

land into the swell but into wind.

d.

land into wind regardless of the swell direction if the wind speed is over 20 kt.

11.

The method of alighting the aeroplane on water during a ditching is to:

a.

carry out a normal approach with flaps and gear selected as normal but to

calculate all speeds plus 10 kt.

b.

reduce the approach angle to 1.5° (150 ft per mile), add 15 kt to all speeds,

keep the aeroplane clean (no flaps or gear) and fly it onto the surface.

c.

fly a normal approach but keep the gear up and land at the lowest possible

speed with the nose raised for the tail to strike first.

the main effect will be rapid deceleration and the preparation in the cabin will

be to counter the effects of this deceleration.

d.

as sea state (wave height and swell height) increases, the effect of the initial

high rotation will be reduced and the accompanying uncontrolled roll will

disappear.
