Be prepared for a long float on landing

Were you planning to land downwind in a 46kt breeze?

 

Yea, that'll be a long float, try it the other way and the rollout will be about ten feet in a 172.

Real world weather tonight at Adak (PADK) in the Aleutian Island gives a 46 kit wind. Be sure to choose an aircraft with good anti ice. I chose the King Air. Be prepared for a long float on landing, with or without the latest flaps bug.

 

Do you even have a lit runway up there!?

 

I love flying in Alaska, having lived there and also, well, having an ex there too. Summer is a lot more fun though.

What is the flaps bug? I am not aware of it.

Thanks. No wonder the 'float'. I remember being in a twin and during landing seemed to have trouble forcing the aircraft down onto the runway so now I realise maybe he had too much flap extended.
