Plane and Pilot

AUGUST 27, 2024

Back in the early days of jet airliners, pilots long experienced in more forgiving two- and four-engine, piston-powered prop planes found themselves running out of airspeed, altitude, and ideas on the final approach to landing. Several of these unstabilized approaches resulted in major aircraft damage or worse.

We plotted a course around an active jump zone over Orange Municipal (KORE), readied the airplanes for departure, and saddled up. Lined up on final approach for runway 34 at Jaffrey. came the response from Tower.

At the airport, there was ice and snow to remove from in front of the hangar door, fuel to add to the Warrior now resting on three fully inflated tires (the left main had a new tube), and then there was the moment when I slipped on ice while pulling the airplane from the hangar and landed flat on my back. 164 airplanes.)

But, with a frontal system approaching, the conditions were expected to worsen over the hours subsequent to our passing through, including the chance for moderate to severe turbulence. At first it was just gradually, then more decidedly, evolving into moderate turbulence. But the turbulence would continue to worsen.

Most modern training airplanes provide a comfortable, warm cabin up in the air, even as the temperature approaches 0° F outside. If your flight needs to get out early in the morning, the airplane should be hangared overnight and pulled out just before departure.

They’re even sorted by altitude so you can find the option that best matches the performance of your airplane. Now you can easily identify thunderstorms, icing or turbulence threats hundreds of miles away and request to modify your route accordingly.

We prepped the airplane. This time, he was able to bring his van very close to the airplane so we could fuel partly by gravity directly into the tanks. After some vectoring by Green Bay approach, we were cleared for the RNP runway 30 approach at Appleton. Our fuel pump from Sint-Eloois-Vijve served us again very well.

At one point, we entered a region of sufficient turbulence that I disengaged the autopilot to hand-fly. Since we lost our LPV approaches due to obstructions along the final approach course, the downgraded LNAV minimum descent altitude for the approach to runway 28 was 558 feet above the ground.

hours I had already put on the airplane since the repair increased my confidence that the issue was suitably managed. In a nod to airplane cleanliness, I shunned my preferred "everything" sub roll for a plain one that was guaranteed to shed less debris. However, the Warrior had no surprises in store for me and the 4.5

This approach gives perspective on all factors, including those that might otherwise be ignored or unrecognized.

ATC then informed us we were number two for the approach and to maintain 4,000’. This necessitated slowing the airplane down to leave the vertical space to descend another 2,000’ to reach the initial approach fix (IAF) at 2,000′ I requested a descent to the IAF altitude of 2,000’ but was only cleared to 3,000’.

We had seven airplanes going, most of them helmed by instrument rated pilots. This lesson was rapidly approaching for Alyssa. A multi-state cross country trip like the one we were taking means a lot of time together in the close confines of an airplane cockpit. Our airplanes are waaaaaay down there near the end of the line.

Landing an airplane is not easy, even for experienced pilots. If you overshoot the final, do not make a steep turn or use excessive rudder to correct for it. Final Approach Once established on final, adjust your heading to maintain the extended centerline. Consider learning to fly tailwheel airplanes.

Additionally, only those events where aircraft have been reported as either substantially damaged or written off, or there has been a fatality onboard a public transport flight due to inflight turbulence, have been included. Preliminary information indicated that the airplane had landed short of the runway at Malakal.
