Indicated Airspeed Knot Runway 
One Mile at a Time
MARCH 20, 2025
At the time of the accident, winds were at an angle of 270 degrees (the runway was at an angle of 230 degrees), at 28 knots, gusting to 35 knots. degrees Less than one second before touchdown, the plane had an indicated airspeed of 134 knots, a ground speed of 111 knots, a bank angle of 7.1

Inbound from the south, the single-engine, retractable-gear Beechcraft entered an uneventful downwind leg for Runway 26. The Bonanza lay crumpled up in an empty lot just 2,400 feet from the approach end of the runway. The wind at the surface was reported as 220 degrees at 6 knots gusting 19 knots.

This particular 172 normally cruised at 120 mph indicated airspeed, but with the ice it would barely do 90 mph and that required full throttle! The general prognosis indicated no icing in the clouds, no turbulence and a quartering headwind from the west resulting in a mere five knots of headwind component.

Almost eight times as much fuel is needed to propel an airplane at 400 knots as at 200. Boom aims to alleviate it (assuming the blanket supersonic ban will be rescinded or revised) by flying overland legs boomless at 700 knots and accelerating to 980 knots over oceans. XB-1 instead used cameras on the nosewheel leg.

For example, Airlander 10 requires no runway for takeoff and landing—only a mooring mast and about 1,960 feet of flat space, whether that be tarmac, grass, sand, or even water. But with a top speed of 70 knots indicated airspeed (IAS), its velocity is more comparable to a shipping vessel.

ATC asked if the aircraft required the full length of the runway and the crew confirmed that they did. The aircraft accelerated along the runway and reached V1, the take-off decision speed, of 155 knots normally. At 08:07:33, the aircraft was cleared for take-off. The aircraft lifted off at 08:08:39 UTC.
