We will also examine the next most critical phase of our flight, from descent and deceleration to the approach and landing phases, even touching upon what happens when the aircraft arrives safely at the gate.

As the engines spool up, the crew will initially increase the power slightly to stabilize the engines and ensure that they power up as commanded, before increasing to full power and releasing the brakes, propelling the aircraft down the runway. Part two will soon be available on AeroTime. Be sure to keep a good look out for it.

During the final stages of the flight, air traffic control told the pilot to expect the RNAV A approach to Montgomery County. Air Traffic Control cleared him to fly directly to BEGKA, a waypoint southwest of him. The controller confirmed a descent to 3,000 feet, the minimum safe altitude for BEGKA.

Lift is generated by the wings as air flows over them, counteracting weight, which pulls the plane downward due to gravity. Thrust, produced by the engine, propels the plane forward, overcoming drag, which is the resistance caused by air. These forces must work in harmony to maintain flight stability.

Also check on the school’s financial stability and refund policy in the event you must withdraw for whatever reason and always be cautious of paying large sums of money up front. You’ll most likely sit in the left seat, with your hands on the controls—you are flying! and a normal landing. You’re now on your way to becoming a pilot.

Air traffic control instructions often lead to unstable approaches. It is based on the pilot’s judgment of certain visual clues, and depends on the maintenance of a constant final descent airspeed and configuration. Pay attention to these deadly sins to keep your landings safe. By Shannon Forrest ATP/CFII.

Remember the secret to a good landing is beginning with a good, stabilized approach! There are several criteria that must be met for a pilot to descend below Decision Altitude/Decision Height (DA/DH) or Minimum Descent Altitude (MDA) on an instrument approach. They can happen when you least expect it.
