Airline Descent NOTAMs 
Fear of Landing
MARCH 21, 2025
On the 11th of March, the NTSB released an aviation investigation preliminary report on the mid-air collision between PSA Airlines flight 5342 and a Sikorsky UH60L US Army helicopter. A CRJ700 operating as passenger flight PSA Airlines 5342 from Wichita, Kansas, was inbound to Washington National Airport. Really a tragic event.

Don’t forget to review NOTAMs and weather advisories. If conditions get too rough near descent, don’t hesitate to delay or hold off until it’s safe to continue. In December 2022, Hawaiian Airlines Flight 35 was flying at FL400, above a cloud layer between FL370 and FL380. How do you plan to proceed?

I see my name on the crew list, I sign in and read the flight plan, notams and weather. Descent briefing, approach briefing, and down we go. I keep comparing my days at my previous low cost passenger airline, and my first steps as a freighter pilot for a flag carrier. Cleared to land! We are approaching Clark airport.

In the 1930s, Island Airways operated Ford Trimotors on one of the shortest airline routes ever created between what is now Erie-Ottawa International Airport, Kelley's Island, and the Bass Islands. The latter explained why the runway lights were NOTAMed out of service.)

Thinking we could be on fire, we initiated a 7000-fpm descent. Little thought is given to the fact that a 7000-fpm descent will fog the windows. I flew general, corporate aviation, and military before going to a major airline. We had checked weather, Notams, and everything else, and all seemed good. One more thing.
