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. This meant that there would be no getting into Sodus unless the ceiling lifted. Still IFR, but barely.

With a light load, our aircraft lifted off quickly. Not long after, we started our descent into Subang Airport. We hit some light turbulence during our descent. On final approach to SZB's runway 15. We waited for a short while before departing. It was not a bad day for flying. We touched down ahead of schedule.

To get there, you need to follow the signboard leading you to a lift and from the lower level, you can walk through the underpass to get to the other building. This was my flight's final assigned gate. I spotted another green stripes livery on this A330-900neo on final approach to this airport.

I requested a descent from 6,000’ down to 4,000’ and was denied due to traffic. Continued along at 6,000’ I advised ATC that the weather was received and requested the RNAV 24 approach. I was soon cleared to descend to 4,000’ and entered IMC during the descent while I located the approach chart to brief.

I once flew downwind, base, and final at a constant AOA. To get the extra lift required for the turns, I had to dive to get extra airspeed so that the plane could turn at that same AOA. This descent used the same technique that (would have) had value in many of the NTSB accidents involving engine failure after takeoff.

A go-around is a maneuver performed to abort or reject a landing on the final approach or once the aircraft has already touched down. A common situation is if an aircraft is on final approach, and another holding on the runway cannot take off in time. Pitch for Climb The next immediate action is to arrest the descent.

There were some patches of moderate lift and sink as would be expected on a normal summer soaring day. Unsurprisingly, the actual glide ratio of his 49:1 glider was much better than the required 14:1 and he approached the airport relatively high. .” Sometimes you fly through virga and you can even find yourself in lift.

Detecting them is difficult, which makes final approach and landing especially dangerous. In seconds, an aircraft can be forced into an uncontrollable descent, leaving you with barely any time to react. With nothing left to lift it, the core has nowhere else to go but down. This is just as deadly during takeoff.

Baron told us to lift the nose at 50 knots, which proved correct for a takeoff about 900 feet down the runway. Resuming a powered descent to enter the pattern, the aux fuel pump goes on and flaps are deployed to 15 degrees, and the aircraft trimmed to 75 knots for the approach.

Just as I was settled in, the captain announced to all of us that the flight had begun its descent and requested the crew to prepare for landing. Before I know it, we were on our final approach. Once we started our descent, I changed the channel to the camera mode (landing gear) to enjoy this view. Soon, it was our turn.
