Thanks for the input everyone. I appreciate you all sharing experience of
your thousands of KR landings versus my grand total of 5. I know I'm going
too fast on final and my PIOs just before touchdown prove it. I've got the
new belly brake down and I'm still trying to learn the delicate touch

With flaps, N56ML will touch down at the minimum airspeed at which it
doesn't drop like a rock, which is right at 60-62 mph. Any slower and

That would be about right for me. It really depends on your gross weight.
Remember KRs were not designed to have an EW of around 800 pounds. I always
