We will also examine the next most critical phase of our flight, from descent and deceleration to the approach and landing phases, even touching upon what happens when the aircraft arrives safely at the gate.

The general prognosis indicated no icing in the clouds, no turbulence and a quartering headwind from the west resulting in a mere five knots of headwind component. Passing through 2,800, the altimeter almost stopped, but finally, at 2,900 we punched through the inversion layer! It got turbulent, and then very turbulent.

Depending on the wind direction and airport surroundings, you may experience some turbulence. This will reduce your workload in turbulent conditions. Descent Point Nominate a descent point that will give you a constant 3° profile to the threshold. We can calculate the rate of descent required to achieve a 3° profile.

As the airplane shuddered in turbulent air roiling from the nearly stalled wings, Don goosed in some power and stomped on the left rudder. The altimeter now showed 5,000' and we had plummeted through the altitude of the scattered cloud layer. On short final, I established a steady descent rate and a stable sideslip to the left. "A
