At this point we started our descent as we passed by some snowy mountains. At this point we were on approach into Milan, the pilots were probably doing the landing checklist at this point. Our aircraft touched down smoothly with the spoilers and reverse thrust deployed to slow the aircraft to taxi speed.

This ensures the aircraft gains enough thrust to climb away from the runway safely. Pilots must be ready to initiate a go-around if the conditions deteriorate below safe limits during final approach. Pitch Adjustment: After adding power, the pilot gently adjusts the pitch attitude to achieve the best angle for climb.

After the meal service ended, the cabin light was dimmed and I managed to catch a short nap and woke up while our aircraft started the descent. As we flew through some clouds during the descent, we encountered a few bumps. At this point, we were on final approach into Taipei Taoyuan Airport.

That is the thrust reverser which is used only during landing or abortion of take off, to slow the aircraft to taxi speed or come to a complete stop. We were almost there and at this point, we started our descent. we started our descent. On final approach We touched down after 4 hours and 1 minute in the air.

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. Mario Hagen / Shutterstock The announcement will also be one of the first items on the pilots before-descent checklist.

Perhaps just prior to the start of descent could be the optimum time–certainly completed no later than commencement of approach. For example, some aircraft limit flaps and gear in icing until on approach or forbid the use of speed brakes or require a minimum thrust setting. What speed on final approach?

At approximately 30-40 feet agl, the spinning stopped and the helicopter appeared to stabilize for a brief moment before continuing a nose-low, forward descent into the grass north of Runway 28. Feather the blades to generate lift from the upward flow of air during the descent (instead of pushing the air downwards in powered flight).

It also allows you to focus on flying during the last stages of the approach and landing. Descent Point Nominate a descent point that will give you a constant 3° profile to the threshold. This allows you to configure appropriately and ensures a stabilized approach. We also start our descent from the circuit altitude.

After completing the approach briefing, we were given our descent clearance and I initiated the Vertical Nav profile that was loaded into the FMS. As the thrust levers rolled back, I asked for the descent checklist. ” He was right. ” He was right.

There were a few good bumps during take off and more of it during the descent especially flying through the clouds. Anyway, during the descent, there was quite a bit of bumps and that also includes a sudden downdraft that made me hold on to the seat in front of me, I dislike this feeling to be honest. Almost there!

At least when we started our descent, the weather was much better, descending and landing in smooth condition. At this point, we started our descent. However, we encountered some gloomy clouds during our descent. At this point, we were on final approach as landing gears were deployed and flaps were set.

We started our descent. At this point, we were on final approach. Reverse thrust was deployed. At this point, it was smooth all the way to arrival. We were placed on a holding pattern due to heavy traffic at our arrival airport. However, that gave the passengers an opportunity to enjoy the amazing view.

Many hours later, we started our descent into New York. At this point, we were on final approach to runway 31L. Reverse thrusts were deployed to slow our aircraft down. Off we go, I enjoyed some view of Sao Paulo before settling in. At this point, the flight was smooth thanks to the good weather. Welcome back to the U.S!

At this point, we started our descent into Changi Airport. We were on final approach onto runway 02L, greeted by the familar sighting of the Eastern part of Singapore. Reverse thrust was deployed (only on the 2nd and 3rd engine) to slow the aircraft down to taxi speed. I am certainly a fan of these type of this view.

The incident occurred while the crew was conducting a low-visibility approach through dense fog. During the final approach, the pilot reduced engine throttles to manage airspeed and align with the Instrument Landing System glideslope. The crew did not notice the aircraft’s dropping vertical velocity until it was too late.

Glide control and approach management are life-saving without engine thrust. When your aircraft loses thrust, youll have to glide it safely to the ground using only aerodynamic control. When the engine is running, the propeller is in motion, actively generating thrust. What Is a Deadstick Landing?

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.
