PART IV-HANDLING

          below 175 knots. A setting of approximately 7,000 r.p.m.
          will give a circuit speed of 170-175 knots with under-
          carriage and flaps UP.  Synchronise Mk. 4F compass
          and check harness tight and locked.  A.L.1

      (c) Finals checks

          Airbrakes		In.
          Undercarriage		3 green lights
          NOTE.--These checks should be completed as soon as
          possible after starting the final turn, after which
          the R/T call " Finals, three green " should be
          made. The call should be completed by the 90^deg;
          position. Lower flaps as required.


     74.  Approach and landing

     (a)  Approach

           (i)  The approach should be commenced at 140 knots
                with approximately 6,000 r.p.m. depending on pre-
                vailing wind conditions.
          (ii)  Lower full flap when required.
         (iii)  At 400 ft. the airspeed should not be less than 125
                knots, and to ensure rapid engine response should it
                be necessary to increase power, r.p.m. should not
                be reduced below 5,500 until it is certain that the
                runway can be reached.
