The pilots told investigators the plane was going about 75 knots when Eagleman lunged. The sudden assymetrical thrust caused a yaw but the pilots were able to regain control and stop on the runway. Just as the plane touched down, Eagleman lunged toward the flight deck and pushed full throttle on one of the engines.

The prototype lifted off, hovered and flew at a speed of 40 knots before landing. The pilot then increased acceleration with a target of seven knots ground speed.

In gusty conditions, for example, crews tend to add a few knots to their touchdown speed, which allows for fluctuations in airspeed while on final approach. The same applies to the selecting of reverse pitch on turboprop aircraft, which translates the thrust produced by the rotating propellor forwards creating a slowing effect.

Take your ground speed in knots and divide it by two. So if your Vso is 50 knots, then aim to fly 70 knots. So if our stall speed was 50 knots, our approach speed would be 65 knots. This is because only one engine produces thrust. This allows you to configure appropriately and ensures a stabilized approach.
