Fear of Landing

Their radar weather map showed heavy rain storms, and the crew selected a route round the worst areas, marked in red on the map. But the map showed only the nearest weather, and they encountered heavy rain, hail and turbulence. The loss of thrust and electrical power meant they were now gliding.

Anyway we were informed about the turbulence and for this flight, the first officer did the announcements. Unfortunately, the pilot informed us about a delay in arrival in Mumbai due to the weather and heavy traffic, so we were placed on holding pattern near Mumbai. I declined as I prefer the window seat. Almost there!

Visual improvements with lighting and weather. Throttles/Thrust Levers According to Navigraph’s 2023 survey, throttle quadrants are the number one add-on peripheral. Since there are only two thrust levers, the TCA quadrant is best used for jet or FADEC aircraft. More realistic instrumentation (e.g.,

Anti-torque pedals manage the tail rotor’s thrust, countering the main rotor’s torque to maintain directional control and stability. Students also undergo ground school to learn about aerodynamics, weather, regulations, and aircraft systems. Does turbulence affect helicopters differently?

Weather It’s a good idea to brief any weather that could make your landing more challenging. Depending on the wind direction and airport surroundings, you may experience some turbulence. This will reduce your workload in turbulent conditions. This is because only one engine produces thrust.

For the flight itself, after take off at Delhi, we encountered quite a bit of turbulence and also more turbulence happened during the crossing through the Bay of Bengal. At least when we started our descent, the weather was much better, descending and landing in smooth condition. We were flying in good weather at this point.

A significant amount of thrust generated by the engine comes from the fan rather than the core. Some of these systems are related to the airplane being bigger, others are related to passenger and crew comfort, while other systems are related to operating in foul weather. This is the common ‘jet’ engine in use today.

As this was the first time sitting quite front in the Boeing 767-400ER, I find it to be quite noisy during take off and there was quite a bit of turbulence during the flight. At this point, the flight was smooth thanks to the good weather. Reverse thrusts were deployed to slow our aircraft down. We landed smoothly on runway 31L.

ADS-B provides real-time traffic information and almost-live NEXRAD radar and weather data. More air molecules in engine cylinders allow the engine to produce more power; more air molecules moving across the propellor blades and wings means more efficient thrust and lift. Pressure altitudes were converted to density altitude.

On the most basic level, hot weather affects air travel the way it affects most things: it makes people uncomfortable and wears them down. Aerodynamically, warmer air is less dense than cooler air, meaning that in hot weather a wing produces less lift. Jet engines don’t like this low-density air either, producing less thrust.

A V-speed may change depending on factors such as aircraft weight and weather conditions, but its designation (e.g., For most commercial aircraft, VR varies for each takeoff depending on the weight and configuration of the aircraft as well as environmental factors like weather or runway conditions. VR) remains the same.

Unfortunately, they had miscalculated, and no amount of brake action and thrust reversers could keep the jet from plowing into the snow at the end of the runway. Unfortunately, several are involved in aircraft accidents in which adverse mountain weather is a contributing factor. Approach into SMV (Samedan, Switzerland).

Therefore it is common for flight delays in departure and arrival especially if the weather is bad. Anyway, fortunately for us, the ride into Delhi was smooth, hardly any turbulence and furthermore the Captain told us the good news and that is the stormy weather forecasted earlier had cleared. So overall, this flight was smooth.
