Fifteen hundred feet past the end of the runway, a pilot was trapped in the cockpit of an Extra NG. Around halfway, cruising at 3,000 feet at 180 knots, onboard avionics data indicates increasing temperature in one of the cylinder heads lasting about five minutes. Data shows a constant high-speed descent straight toward the runway.

Haynes took the controls and, noting the same control issues, reduced thrust on the number one engine, which resulted in the aircraft rolling out in a wings-level attitude, giving the crew critical time to evaluate the dire situation Flight 232 was facing.

Air Traffic Control (ATC) uses these procedures to delay aircraft. For example, if you’re holding at 100 knots and have a 10-knot tailwind on the outbound leg, the outbound leg should be shorter than one minute because you’ll have a headwind on the inbound leg. You are looking for the RNAV approach into runway 17R.

Even though I was likely to be cleared through the outer ring by ATC (air traffic control) while on an instrument flight plan, I filed a route from Sodus to the Williamsport VOR (FQM) that circumvented the TFR entirely. I pulled the power back and set a notch of flaps to establish a 90 knot, 500 foot/minute descent.
