With two lonely wheels, and a plane in the field.

AA landing is almost always a grease job or a botched embarrassment beginning 3 miles outside the marker.

At three miles outside the marker the air speed, altitude and power settings should be at the exact appropriate settings. All check lists should be complete and set as required.

At the marker the crew needs only to drop the gear and make minor adjustments to the power setting to compensate for changes in the wind at the lower altitudes.

Constant practice at this, even in the very best VFR conditions, will make approaches to minimums a piece of cake.

The alternative is pieces of aluminum and they do not digest well.
