Delta Connection flight received sink rate alert before Toronto Pearson crash

Aerotime

Around 13 seconds before touchdown as the aircraft was descending through 153 feet above ground level (AGL) the TSB said the CRJ900s indicated airspeed increased to 154 knots whereas the ground speed did not change appreciably, consistent with a performance-increasing wind gust. The bank angle increased to a 4.7right bank.

Throttle Mismanagement: A T-38 Lesson That Stuck

Air Facts

Although he was flying at or near the proper airspeeds for an overhead pattern, he was constantly moving the throttlesfrom near idle to near full thrust within seconds. Our Talon accelerated as it climbed toward pattern altitude1,500 feet AGL. At pattern altitude, I leveled off, and our airspeed stabilized at 300 KIAS.

Power-off Stall: Recovery Steps Made Easy

Pilot Institute

The ACS states that recovery should be completed no lower than 1,500 ft AGL for single-engine aircraft and 3,000 ft AGL for multi-engine aircraft. It’s mainly due to the effects of thrust and the high-energy slipstream from the propeller preventing boundary separation.

Danger lurks in circling approaches

Air Facts

For example, some aircraft limit flaps and gear in icing until on approach or forbid the use of speed brakes or require a minimum thrust setting. At what AGL altitude will the aircraft be in a stable/configured condition? (No Particular attention to true airspeed vs. turn radius. No later than).

Unbolted in Fairfield (Update on the 2022 Bell 407 GXP Crash)

Fear of Landing

At approximately 30-40 feet agl, the spinning stopped and the helicopter appeared to stabilize for a brief moment before continuing a nose-low, forward descent into the grass north of Runway 28. When it stopped climbing, the helicopter maneuvered erratically drifting towards the north and descending.

How to Master Slow Flight (Step-By-Step)

Pilot Institute

Thrust : The force generated by the engine that propels the aircraft forward. Pilots must counteract the additional drag with more thrust to maintain altitude. Fly at least 1,500 above ground level (AGL) to allow room for recovery in case you stall the aircraft. Gradually reduce thrust from cruise power.

Trial by Ice

Air Facts

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. It was also destroying the propellers air foils causing a loss of thrust.
