One Mile at a Time
MARCH 20, 2025
The initial impact was 420 feet past the runway 23 threshold. The aircraft came to a rest inverted on runway 15L, approximately 1,800 feet beyond the thresholds, and about 75 feet to the right of the runway edge. degree bank Two seconds before touchdown, the planes bank angle to the right increased, to 5.9

Although he was flying at or near the proper airspeeds for an overhead pattern, he was constantly moving the throttlesfrom near idle to near full thrust within seconds. The final turn in the T-38 is a nose-low, 180-degree turn designed to arrive on final one mile from the threshold at 500 feet AGL. I continued down final.

It was also destroying the propellers air foils causing a loss of thrust. We were about 1/2 mile from the threshold. It would not be easy getting perfectly aligned with the runway threshold by looking through the tiny hole in the ice. I had to keep precisely on the localizer centerline to find the runway threshold.

At this point, we reached the threshold of the runway. Spoilers were armed while the reverse thrust was deployed to slow the aircraft. Look at how lovely the weather was that morning. Passing by Air France's corperate office. Air France Concorde on display. An Easyjet A321ceo aircraft was undergoing the deicing procedure. Touched down!

The exhaust coming out of aircraft engines looks pretty dangerous, generating huge amounts of thrust and pushing back tons of hot air. This distance is measured when the preceding aircraft is over the runway threshold. What do you think happens to the air when an aircraft flies by? Small landing behind a Heavy 6 miles of separation.

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

The autopilot/autothrottle system will use pitch and/or thrust to maintain the speed commanded by the Command Bug. Landing Bugs Bug 1 and 2: V Ref – Landing Reference/Threshold Crossing speed (bugs are positioned together). Adjusting the Command Bug with the IAS/MACH selector knob What do the bugs represent?
