A no-flaps landing generally requires more runway for stopping, with the distance that can increase by as much as 50% depending on the aircraft and conditions. Lift and Drag Modifications A no-flaps landing significantly reduces drag and lift, which is why the approach is flown at a higher speed. Higher kinetic energy upon landing.

Back in the early days of jet airliners, pilots long experienced in more forgiving two- and four-engine, piston-powered prop planes found themselves running out of airspeed, altitude, and ideas on the final approach to landing. Several of these unstabilized approaches resulted in major aircraft damage or worse. No pressure.

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.

The airport layout of CDG airport This airport consists of 4 runways, (08L/26R, 08R/26L, 09L/27R and 09R/27L) and was opened in March 1974. However after pushing back while on the way to the runway, I managed to see some deicing action on an Easyjet A321 aircraft. At this point, we reached the threshold of the runway.

How do the approaches differ from each other? Type of Guidance Instrument approaches offer two types of navigational guidance. Lateral guidance tells you to go left or right to align yourself with the runway. Vertical guidance lets you know youre too high or too low on your approach path. Thats up to you!

Over the last three years, The Bear has expressed great interest in visiting Alton Bay, the only FAA-authorized ice runway in the continental United States. A very brief 2022 season for the ice runway eliminated opportunities to return that year. I pointed to the ice runway as we cleared terrain hiding it. There it is!"

But landing it safely on the runway is a skill. Brief that you will use the right rudder to align the aircraft straight with the runway and the left aileron to counteract drift. It also allows you to focus on flying during the last stages of the approach and landing. Everything happens quickly as you approach the ground.

Key Takeaways Start by setting up your approach correctly to ensure you arrive at the threshold perfectly every time. Perfect the approach phase by managing the aircraft’s energy and using references to improve positioning throughout the pattern. The easiest way to achieve this is by flying a stabilized approach.

A bounced landing is a condition where the aircraft lands on the runway, but instead of rolling on the surface after touchdown, it rebounds/bounces off the ground. This can happen for several reasons: Landing Too Fast At high speeds, your aircraft may be unable to slow down enough before touching down on the runway.

ATC was great, the FBO (FlightLevel - Beverly) treated us well and charged reasonable fees, and radar services were managed by the perennially capable Boston Approach. We made an IFR departure that morning on runway 16 and climbed above the ceiling in short order. This was not a good setup to manage an approach down to minimums.
