For example, describing a Cuban eight maneuver would involve such writing as, enter the (in Farsi , R-L), Cuban eight (in English, L-R), maneuver no lower than (in Farsi , R-L), 10,000 AGL (in English, L-R), at a minimum of (in Farsi , R-L), 450 knots (in English, L-R). add 5 knots for winds at 10 knots gusting to 20 knots).

Our Talon accelerated as it climbed toward pattern altitude1,500 feet AGL. During each turn, we lost about 1015 knots, but once wings-level again, the jet quickly accelerated back to 300. For every 100 pounds above 1,000, add one knot to each airspeed. The threshold slid past my right shoulder as I began my flare.

IN-FLIGHT ALERTS 500 AGL Alerts – Alerts when descending through 500 ft. AGL after having been above 1,000 ft. The alert will only sound once every 60 seconds and is automatically disabled if groundspeed is less than 40 knots. AGL (or when AGL is unknown), the descent rate exceeds 4,000 ft. per minute AGL.

Due to the curvature of the Earths surface, the lowest standard atmosphere view from the KGSP radar over center city Charlotte is 7,245 feet agl. For example, an alert such as 17A MBA 30K- 1MF 150 11 states, Runway 17 arrival, microburst alert, 30 knot loss, 1 mile final, threshold wind 150 at 11 knots.

Our NIFA team of pilots would travel to other colleges and compete in sanctioned competition involving precise navigation, pre-flight inspections, accuracy landings, and simulated bomb drops into a barrel from 100 AGL feet using bean bags as bombs. We were about 1/2 mile from the threshold. His words were a shock!

The pilot reported that he was too high and fast crossing the threshold 70 feet above ground level (AGL) at 90 mph. Halfway down the runway the airplane was about 30 feet AGL at a speed of about 45 mph, and oscillating 20 degrees either side of center. Other than that, what? Curious mistakes for a well-trained crew.

Still, you’ll likely cross the threshold well above the recommended landing speed and float for quite a while as you slow. Tack on an extra 20 knots to an approach speed for an aircraft that should be flown at 70 knots and the landing distance is doubled. —not often easy in a descent. Let’s play with some numbers.
