Air Facts
MAY 5, 2025
I got out my instrument approach chart and studied the holding pattern and the VOR approach procedure. A few minutes later, we heard the center controller clear a Trans Missouri Airlines commuter plane for the VOR Runway 30 approach to Jefferson City. To continue the approach was no longer an option. I had to land.

As each airplane ahead of me began their approach, I descended in the holding pattern. Two pilots landed successfully. The third one saw the runway but couldn’t land. And a second later—approach lights. Then the runway. I dropped full flaps, extended the speed brake, and touched down halfway down the runway.

The numbers 4 and 22 on the approach ends of the runway indicate that the runway is orientated approximately 004° and 022° true. If the wind is as shown by the landing direction indicator, the pilot should land on Runway 9 and expect a crosswind from the right. Runway 31 directly into the wind.

This question from Quora explores whether the pilots of American Airlines Flight 5342 could have taken different actions to avoid the tragic collision. One possible consideration is whether the captain could have declined the last-minute runway change from the original plan to land on Runway 1.

About 40 minutes on the aircraft, we were finally on our way, no updates from the Captain until later part of the flight. While taxing to the runway, it started raining and off we went! Once we reached the runway, it started pouring. Below) We were on final approach to runway 27L. Can you spot the Eye?

Anyway, once we were ready, we pushed back and taxied to the active runway. Once we were on our way, we encountered some expected turbulence especially flying through the clouds but once we reached our assigned flight level, it was smooth all the way until we were on final approach. Well done to the PIC (Pilot-in-command)!
