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 bank angle increased to a 4.7right bank.

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. It’s mainly due to the effects of thrust and the high-energy slipstream from the propeller preventing boundary separation.

For example, some aircraft limit flaps and gear in icing until on approach or forbid the use of speed brakes or require a minimum thrust setting. At what AGL altitude will the aircraft be in a stable/configured condition? (No Particular attention to true airspeed vs. turn radius. No later than).

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. As it descended it spun around 2-3 times.

Thrust : The force generated by the engine that propels the aircraft forward. Pilots must counteract the additional drag with more thrust to maintain altitude. Fly at least 1,500 above ground level (AGL) to allow room for recovery in case you stall the aircraft. Gradually reduce thrust from cruise power.

” The 3,800-pound-thrust Ukrainian-built AI25-TL engine needs an air-assisted start provided by the onboard Sapphire APU. The SFO practice actually begins near the airport at roughly 3,000 feet agl. “I constantly get thrown around in the backseat while we’re on the ground as folks get used to it.”

Stalling with a high-power setting takes more effort since there is thrust and a high-energy slipstream from the propeller, which prevents boundary layer separation. The FAA recommends that stalls should be practiced no lower than 1,500 ft AGL. This increases the effective pitch angle of the stall when compared to a power-off stall.
