Descent Point Nominate a descent point that will give you a constant 3° profile to the threshold. Take your ground speed in knots and divide it by two. So if your Vso is 50 knots, then aim to fly 70 knots. Approach Speed When crossing the threshold, you must ensure you fly the correct approach speed. Good question.

In the Cessna 172S Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH), the landing distance decreases by 10% for every 9 knots of headwind. For the Cessna 172, landing distance increases by 10% for every 2 knots of tailwind. If it prevents you from landing close to the threshold, a short runway becomes even shorter. Choose an aiming point.

The ADC processes the data and sends it to various aircraft systems including airspeed/Mach indicators (like the SI-800), altimeters, Flight Management Systems (FMS), Autopilot Flight Director System (AFDS), elevator feel computers, and more. V MO on the 767 is between 340-360 knots (depending on aircraft serial number).
