The anatomy of a commercial flight – all you ever wanted to know:   Part two   

Aerotime

Having been cruising along at around 500 miles per hour (800 kph) or so, depending on aircraft type, the crew will need to reduce this to around 150 mph (240 kph) for the final approach, and even lower for the actual landing itself. At this point, the use of the aircraft’s flaps becomes critical.

Throttle Mismanagement: A T-38 Lesson That Stuck

Air Facts

Although he was flying at or near the proper airspeeds for an overhead pattern, he was constantly moving the throttlesfrom near idle to near full thrust within seconds. Add half the gust factor to final approach and touchdown speeds. We touched down on speed about 100150 feet down the runway. Gusty winds?

Danger lurks in circling approaches

Air Facts

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. Higher TAS = different category aircraft = higher MDA) A higher TAS does yield a larger turn radius, even in the same aircraft approach category. What is the runway lighting?
