Chapter 5. How to Flare: The 4-Second Flare

About This App Section

View the flare in elevation, as the the pilot’s eye path traces a classic exponential curve.

Interactive in-app slides reveal real-time 1-second runway distance increments, defining the entire flare manoeuvre from the flare point through to a predictable touchdown of consistent quality.

This easy to follow concept of flaring over 4 seconds provides a practical sub-structure for flare training. Learn why The Jacobson Flare has been adopted as a standard landing technique by several major training organisations and by thousands of professional and recreational pilots.
