This greatly simplified descent planning. Re-Dun has a primary 20 foot wide paved runway 17-35 (though FAA sources still indicate it to be grass 60' wide) and a grass crosswind runway that is typically completely lined with parked fly-in airplanes. Closer to the south end of Seneca Lake, the moody clouds finally broke.

Once there, he put us in a slight right turn toward our first fuel stop 60 miles ahead, continuously fighting the stick as the gusting left crosswind did its best to push us off course. As the sun began its descent, we began the final leg of what would end up being a four-hour trek.

Everything seems to be going well on approach, and then out of nowhere, you feel the jolt. Key Takeaways Bounced landings can result from excessive speed, improper flare, or high descent rates. High Descent Rate While landing, if you have a high descent rate, the wheels can hit the ground hard and cause a bounce.

As you approach the airport, monitor UNICOM for landing or departing traffic. Another performance factor is the approach speed. The slower the approach, the shorter the landing distance. Many aircraft have specific recommended normal and short-field approach speeds. It will allow you to fine-tune your approach.

This approach gives perspective on all factors, including those that might otherwise be ignored or unrecognized. NTSB ERA22LA169 describes a funny engine noise that prompted an earlier than planned turn to crosswind for an anticipated return to the airport. NTSB ERA22LA393 shows an airplane slow on approach that flared high.

You had a crosswind , so the wind wasn’t helping you out, but that’s all right. Data shows a constant high-speed descent straight toward the runway. The pressure of a no-go-around approach is immense. So, still about 60-65 degrees, so we’re getting some help out to ya. So just hang in there.” “I I had too much speed.

It was smooth, comfortable, and beautiful until I began our descent into the pattern at KOSH and extended the gear. I chose runway 14 (the UGN crosswind runway) and the crash and resuce vehicles moved onto the adjacent taxiway. No gear light appeared on the control panel indicating a gear problem. There was no issue on the flight.

I spotted another green stripes livery on this A330-900neo on final approach to this airport. Anyway, on our approach to Athens, we were greeted with a spectacular view of the landscape but there was quite a bit of crosswind which made the ride slightly uncomfortable but not long after we landed smoothly on runway 21L.

A bad approach results in a bad landing. A go-around is a maneuver performed to abort or reject a landing on the final approach or once the aircraft has already touched down. Top Reasons for Go-Arounds Unstabilized Approach An aircraft must have a stabilized approach before landing. What Is a Go-Around?

Descent and landing is smooth and calm this evening, and I make a wheel landing for the fun of it. A cruise climb as I make my crosswind turn, then downwind, more radio calls on the way.

To arrest this descent, you need to generate more lift. Pitching down for airspeed magnifies the already steep descent rate. When banking, you must increase the angle of attack to keep the descent rate in check. Altitude lost reflects a descent rate range between 740 ft/min and 1,000 ft/min.

But it was apparent the smallest Grumman flying boat was too small and full of quirks—the cabin door won’t open if the flaps are down, for example—to justify something approaching a direct copy. The Prototype Ben and Ross’s vision in 1990 was a fiberglass Widgeon. A not so obvious advantage is taxiing.
