RV10flyer
Pattern Altitude
Landing rwy 10 after dark with a slight tailwind and no thrust reversers. Depending on avionics with full fuel, their payload is about 700-750 lbs. Seven people on board. Most seem to carry 3-4 passengers plus pilot. This is the same model as Jack Roush crashed at Oshkosh.
The Balked Landing Procedure: Advance engine thrust to takeoff power, establish Vref (about 115 kts), after a positive climb is established flaps 10-degrees, landing gear UP, yaw damper ON, flaps UP, lift dump handle LOCKED, and turn the landing light OFF.
