For my first notch of flaps I'm going to go ahead and bring myself full ridge.
Still hard traffic Diamond 4 Alpha Sierra on a final runway 13.
Still hard. I need 100 knots for my landing flaps.
Get my approach flaps in. I'm going to get my trim back up.
It's really trim nose down right now. It'll help with my landing.
All right. I want to be about 70 over the numbers.
Landing flaps in.
You can be your best forward speed for as long as you can.
I think I'll make it as fast as I can for 5 knots here.
Landing checklist. Fuel pump is coming on.
And flaps. We're going to do trim and takeoff. Flaps when we're in their wide arc.
Takeoff flaps. All right. Going to keep in power.
Slow. 30% we'll do it.
Gearing 70. Looking good. Got a nice little crosswind.
Just a little bit to help myself.

Diamond 5-3. Romeo-Gulf. Meet you on tower.
You're number one to the field. Wind 020 at 7. Runway 3-4. Cleared to land.
Fuel pump's on. Landing light on.
Takeoff flaps. We're going to... I'm just going to go ahead and put them open now.
And I'll wait for flaps. Keep up a little forward speed.
I'm getting in flap range. This is 33. 133.
Wide arc is the landing flap range. 121. 100 knots. Landing flaps.

Final check. Artisan checklist. We have our landing data.
Our altimeters are set. Comms knobs are set.
Fuel selectors are both on. Parking brake is released.
Rudder trim is as good as it's going to get.
Gear warning light will test, although we know it's going on.
We're going to do flaps, gear, rudder trim.
So that's our before-landing checklist is flaps, gear, rudder trim.
And we're going to do first notch of flaps.
Landing airspeed's going to be about 85.
And let's do landing flaps.
So once we're above our aiming point,
that's whenever you're going to reduce your power to idle.
Yep. So fuel pump's coming on. Landing light coming on.
Trim. I'm going to make sure it's set.
Bringing back some power. And right about now, let's swing our gear.
Airspeed's fine. All right. Gear confirmed down.
Right about here. Let's make sure we're getting our landing flaps in.

All right.
