CRJ 200 ferry flight crash with 19 on board at Kathmandu

Fear of Landing

JULY 25, 2025

The first officer would use the aircraft weight, along with the environmental conditions and the runway parameters, to determine the V-speeds for the flight and enter them into the flight management system. They entered runway 02 and performed a backtrack to the threshold in order to use the full length of the runway.

Fear of Landing

MAY 16, 2025

On the 28th of June 2024 a Boeing 777-236, registered in the UK as G-VIIT, rejected a take-off after reaching V 1 during the take-off roll on 26L at London Gatwick Airport. In order to understand what happened that day, we need to understand V-speeds: relative speeds which need to be calculated for every flight.
