So for pilots coming out of jets and who are accustomed to coming across the threshold carrying lots of speed, pulling the power back to idle and waiting for it to land will stall an airplane like the little RV-12 right into the pavement—pancaking it on and damaging the landing gear,” Wilkinson said.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) differentiates an accident from an incident by imposing a threshold of aircraft damage set at $1 million. The left winglet of one of the aircraft collided with the right horizontal stabilizer and elevator of the other. This definition has been in place since 2005.

The pilot reported that he was too high and fast crossing the threshold 70 feet above ground level (AGL) at 90 mph. NTSB says, flight crew attempted to takeoff with the airplane 2975 pounds over the maximum takeoff weight (MTOW), a center of gravity (CG) close to the most forward limit, and an incorrect stabilizer trim setting.

However, the capstone of all these efforts was the adoption of stabilized approach criteria and procedures on every approach and landing. 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.

The wreckage has now been removed and will be stored in a secure location out of the public eye as investigators from Canadas Transport Safety Board and the airline continue to examine what might have caused the plane to end up inverted and without one wing and its vertical stabilizer.

Key Takeaways Start by setting up your approach correctly to ensure you arrive at the threshold perfectly every time. You can only begin improving the touchdown if you’ve mastered positioning your aircraft above the runway threshold correctly. The easiest way to achieve this is by flying a stabilized approach.

Aviation medical standards typically require pilots to maintain blood pressure below specific thresholds, often around 140/90 mmHg. Regular medical examinations monitor blood pressure levels, and deviations may necessitate adjustments in treatment or temporary grounding until stability is consistently achieved.

Descent Point Nominate a descent point that will give you a constant 3° profile to the threshold. This allows you to configure appropriately and ensures a stabilized approach. Approach Speed When crossing the threshold, you must ensure you fly the correct approach speed. Take your ground speed in knots and divide it by two.

Stabilized Approach Ideally, the goal should be to achieve a stabilized condition with a constant rate of descent. You should follow the “3:1 rule” – for every 3 nautical miles distance from the runway threshold, you must be a thousand feet above the ground.

As with any landing, it’s vital to have a stabilized approach. If you’re not stabilized at 200 feet AGL, go around. On a normal landing, you’d pull the power over the threshold, begin your roundout, and flare around 10 feet AGL. When crossing the threshold, start reducing the power.

Don’t wait until you feel symptoms of hypoxia, as your judgment may already be impaired.

The cameras are mounted on a 2-axis gimbal that provides both mechanical and electronic image stabilization. This weight threshold may not seem significant for users in the US, but it is particularly important in a European setting, as it allows for the drone to be used in urban or built-up areas.

If it prevents you from landing close to the threshold, a short runway becomes even shorter. This gives you a safe buffer on the stall speed and plenty of time to stabilize. The aiming point at an actual short field should be as close to the threshold as is safe. With a short field landing, we aim to be at 1.3

As the graphs obtained directly from the watches suggest, prior to any flight, there is a rise in the heart rate above the underlying “resting” threshold.

The best go-arounds happen from 300 feet, not 30, which is why many airlines require a go-around if the airplane is not stabilized by 500 feet in VFR conditions. The pilot reduced the engine power and continued his attempt to align the airplane with the runway using the rudder.
