A few minutes later, we heard the center controller clear a Trans Missouri Airlines commuter plane for the VOR Runway 30 approach to Jefferson City. Besides, we were still operating under a declared emergency which allows the pilot in command to do anything necessary to mitigate the danger he or she is facing.

To get a little better view approaching the threshold I leaned to my left and stretched up to maybe see a little more of the runway. The XO was now pilot in command and I was doing co-pilot duties on the flight to Dallas. The view from the rear seat is mostly out the side window. I decided to change career path.

It’s not just GA pilots who can struggle with airspeed control. In business jets and airliners, the issue is usually being too fast, leading to a runway excursion and often substantial damage or even fatalities. Too much speed is almost as bad as too little. A bit harsh, perhaps, but 100% correct, and a lesson I have not forgotten.

Seems the accident helicopter was the subject of a FAA Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR), which specified academic, flight training, qualification, and currency requirements for pilots acting as pilot-in-command. Airlines of all flags have shared woes recently. Thats FA tenacity. No mention of IPC results.

The day I had to make a short field landing in a B757 Air Facts Journal During the winter of 2012, I was the captain on a United Airlines flight from San Francisco (SFO) to Denver (DEN) flying a Boeing 757. From the threshold to taxiway D5 gave me a little over 5,000 feet to land and stop. It was now time for some risk management.

Introduction What a way to celebrate my first ever Indian domestic flight experience by flying on the airline's brand new Airbus A350-900. Let's say I didn't have the best first impression of this airline and I believe some of you have read about the negative reviews of the airline in almost all aspects of air travel with this airline.
