Fear of Landing

JULY 4, 2025

As ground staff at the airport, the pilot had security codes for access and was able to walk straight to the hangar. The hangar held three helicopters. The two larger helicopters blocked the hangar door from closing, so the hangar was left open. He drove to Cairns Airport. The fuel caught on fire.

I exited the terminal parking lot and walked east toward the hangar housing the museum. Between the runway and the collection of hangar buildings on the northwest corner of the field are two rows of tie downs whose positions are marked by airplane tires. Within those hangars, I found a number of treasures. For Tilting at.?

A rapid descent and landing improves the score. Group dinner is normally at 7pm in the hangar and everyone has a chance to get enough sleep to go at it again the next day. If Glider A takes 15 minutes to launch and climb and Glider B only takes 10 minutes, this means that the pilot of Glider B has 5 extra minutes to score.

After alerting to no descent I disconnected the AP and hand flew. I made a nice landing and taxied back to the hangar. I turned direct PFAIR, entered the procedure turn and the STec 60-2 flew a perfect Parallel entry. It's a shame I brain farted and did not select NAV in bound. Hand flying is so much better anyway.

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. The operator had a surveillance camera inside the hangar to capture the work and the preflight inspections.

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. I managed the stepdown to 2,000 feet at JAKRR (named for WFC founder Jake DeGroote) by programming the autopilot for a descent to that altitude.

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. We had a deal.

In this scenario, a busy controller and task saturation led to a late descent, which resulted in an error of being too high and unstablized, and the lack of knowledge and training led to an undesired aircraft state of flying past the missed approach point at an inappropriate altitude.

I had an easy out available to me: a descent of 1000 feet would bring me out of the clouds with plenty of altitude to spare above the terrain. A prop lock is required on all aircraft parked outside of a hangar at the MD-3 airports, though throttle locks provide an alternate means of compliance. But no ice formed that morning.

I did pay attention to the nearest airports as I flew home, got high and stayed there as long as I could before starting the descent for home plate.

Your crew mates get pretty busy during the time leading up to departure, so you can offer a little help without being intrusive by running into the hangar to grab an extra bucket of ice or anything else if needed. After that, talk about documents and make sure again that everyone has passports, licenses, medicals, and crew IDs.
