The brakes are designed primarily for V/STOL and are marginal for a CL without PNB [Power Nozzle Braking]; therefore, No PNB CLs should be used only as an emergency procedure.
Approaching 180: 1. Nozzles . AFT. 2. Flaps . Recheck in AUTO. 3. AOA . 10° to 12°. Off the 180: 4. Adjust flight path with stick. 5. Control AOA with throttle. At 30 to 50 feet AGL: 6. Set Attitude . Witches Hat on to 2° above the horizon. 7. Control ROD with throttle. At touchdown: 8. Throttle . IDLE. 9. Nosewheel Steering .

>>965 This video is of a conventional landing, which for harriers means that the nozzles are fully aft. It is not the preferred landing for the harrier, and is mainly used for emergencies that would rule out a vertical landing. At? high landing speeds like in this video, cross winds aren't as much of an issue. The technique is to crab into the wind without dipping a wing, then kick the crab out just before touchdown.
