A 10-year study by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) showed slightly elevated lead levels in children living near airports, though these levels remained below the Center for Disease Control’s blood lead threshold. The CDPHE plans to publish the study in an academic journal in the near future.

The current record of safe landings is strong in the airlines, but the same can’t be said for us down here in general aviation land. GA pilots find time-tested and more creative ways to skitter off the side of the runway, land short of the threshold, or slide off the far end with the brakes smoking and tires squealing.

Descent Point Nominate a descent point that will give you a constant 3° profile to the threshold. Approach Speed When crossing the threshold, you must ensure you fly the correct approach speed. Flare You will transition into the flare as you cross the threshold and get closer to the ground. We multiply Vso by 1.3 Good question.

The minima table lists the DA and Height Above Threshold for each type of RNAV approach. These systems are common in commercial airplanes, but theyre starting to appear in newer general aviation airplanes too. The image at the beginning of this section is an example of an RNAV approach plate for Monterey Regional, California.

The aerials are in a position that provides a threshold crossing height of 50ft. It consists of lights that start at the landing threshold and extend into the approach area. Marker Beacons These days, the ILS is generally paired with a DME (Distance Measuring Equipment). While the other beam transmits slightly below.
