Innsbruck is one of the most beautiful and spectacular places on earth with an airport that can support a variety of airline equipment up to a small widebody such as the Boeing 767-300ER. For the final approach, I calculated V REF of about 128 was fought with much shear, with airspeed variances of up to 20 to 30 knots, providing a wild ride.

The airlines use their high-fidelity flight simulators to great advantage, and when combined with stick shakers, multicrew flight decks, and low-speed and stall-warning systems, the training is excellent. Not to worry: The airliner you are flying has probably not entered a stall in its entire 20- to 30-year service lifespan.

Top Reasons for Go-Arounds Unstabilized Approach An aircraft must have a stabilized approach before landing. An approach is stabilized when: The aircraft is on the correct flight path, i.e., on runway centerline and glideslope. The aircraft was 44 knots higher than its target landing speed, which resulted in a runway overrun.

In business jets and airliners, the issue is usually being too fast, leading to a runway excursion and often substantial damage or even fatalities. Make this one of the key measures of your pilot proficiency: can you maintain a predetermined airspeed with a maximum deviation of +10/-5 knots (the Private Pilot ACS)?
