Around 13 seconds before touchdown as the aircraft was descending through 153 feet above ground level (AGL) the TSB said the CRJ900s indicated airspeed increased to 154 knots whereas the ground speed did not change appreciably, consistent with a performance-increasing wind gust.

The ACS states that recovery should be completed no lower than 1,500 ft AGL for single-engine aircraft and 3,000 ft AGL for multi-engine aircraft. But in a power-off stall, you have to pitch down to allow the airspeed to increase and stabilize the aircraft.

At what AGL altitude will the aircraft be in a stable/configured condition? (No FAA parameters are no lower than 500’ AGL for stabilized criteria What specific runway lighting do we expect to see? Strive to be wings level and on the correct rollout heading with an acceptable rate of descent as close to 500 feet AGL.

The crew was not obligated to accept this runway and could have requested an alternative or allowed more time for a stabilized approach. TCAS is primarily designed to prevent mid-air collisions at higher altitudes, typically above 1,000 feet AGL (above ground level).

You should expect to see questions that show you understand what happens when you change an aircraft’s balance, stability, and center of gravity. 1: To avoid a possible collision with a manned airplane, you estimate that your small UA climbed to an altitude greater than 600 feet agl. There is only one task. Example question No.

Adjust pitch and power for the desired airspeed and approach angle.The approach should be stabilized on the extended runway centerline no lower than 300’ AGL. Add full flaps and establish recommended soft-field approach speed on final, approximately 1/2 mile from the runway.

At approximately 30-40 feet agl, the spinning stopped and the helicopter appeared to stabilize for a brief moment before continuing a nose-low, forward descent into the grass north of Runway 28. When it stopped climbing, the helicopter maneuvered erratically drifting towards the north and descending.
