Fear of Landing

FEBRUARY 21, 2025

Whether or not there were issues with CRM or in the approach, there is no evidence at this time that either pilot had struggled through their training or were anything less than qualified for their positions. The cockpit recordings during the final approach and the flight data on impact are sure to be of particular interest.

On approach, the captain made a mayday alert, declaring bird strike, bird strike. Four minutes missing from recording equipment Robert Plummer from the BBC reported that both the South Korean and US analysis of the cockpit and flight data recorders showed the recorders were missing the four minutes leading up to the collision.

For example: Pilot: Seattle Approach, Cessna November Four Five One Romeo, Two Zero miles west of Seattle VOR, at 8,000, with Sierra, to land. ATC will let you know the current altimeter setting in their reply. Altimeter 30.02 The controller will clear you for the approach when you get close to the airport. Safe travels!

During the final stages of the flight, air traffic control told the pilot to expect the RNAV A approach to Montgomery County. The pilot asked for the RNAV GPS RWY 14 approach, which had lower minimums. His troubles began before he even started the approach. The Mooney continued its approach.

For those new to aviation or those making the leap from paper charts, there comes a point when a decision is necessary on which app to use in the cockpit. When taxiing on the ground, you’ll be alerted when you approach and enter active runways, and include the runway distance remaining from your position.

Cockpit and Avionics Sitting in the cockpit of a Cessna 172, one is immediately struck by the advanced Garmin G1000 NXi avionics suite that dominates the instrument panel. First introduced in 2005, this all-glass cockpit revolutionized the flying experience for pilots by providing a comprehensive and intuitive interface.

Glass cockpit HSIs integrate maps, weather, and traffic for better situational awareness. Now, we can fly more accurately while reducing our workload and also fly an ILS or GPS approach without using a separate ILS instrument. The HSI has found its home in modern glass cockpit avionics, along with the altimeter and airspeed indicator.

After takeoff, I contacted Cincinnati Approach: “Cincinnati Approach, Student Pilot Skyhawk 2135S, four miles south of I69 with request.” They gave me a squawk code and the altimeter setting, and with that, the flight was underway. I set up for a straight-in approach to Runway 22 about three miles out.

When it’s your turn in the cockpit, you’ll know what to do—whether it’s a routine landing or something urgent. Briefing A pre-landing briefing highlights essential points critical to the approach and landing phase. It also allows you to focus on flying during the last stages of the approach and landing.

Airlines are upgrading older cockpits with newer displays, so this old indicator will soon become a relic. It’s nice to have an accurate digital display, especially on a bumpy approach. Orange Command Bug: V App Approach speed (V Ref + additions for winds/gust). The window is blank below.400

These include changes made to instrument approaches, STARs, SIDs, and IFR airways. High-pressure conditions decrease altimeter accuracy, affecting terrain clearance and aircraft spacing. An ADS-B In device allows you to receive FIS-B in the cockpit from almost anywhere in the country. Is the NOTAM active while you’re flying?

The “Flying Pencil,” as it is often called, contained the first glass cockpit, eliminated the flight engineer position, and created an Engine Indication and Crew Alerting System (EICAS) designed to lead pilots step by step through aircraft systems failures. Just like the airline glass cockpits, this is called systems integration.
