Key Takeaways Start by setting up your approach correctly to ensure you arrive at the threshold perfectly every time. Perfect the approach phase by managing the aircraft’s energy and using references to improve positioning throughout the pattern. The easiest way to achieve this is by flying a stabilized approach.

It only takes a 10% increase in approach speed to increase the landing roll by 20%. These obstacles frequently affect the approach and missed approach paths. Plan your approach path carefully to eliminate large pitch and power changes. Any substantial changes to speed and descent rate will destabilize the landing.

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.

I had no interest in flying one hour north only to be shut out of our destination by weather below minimums for the available instrument approach procedure. ATC was great, the FBO (FlightLevel - Beverly) treated us well and charged reasonable fees, and radar services were managed by the perennially capable Boston Approach.

Hearing no other traffic in the area, Wilkins opted for a relatively straight-in approach to Runway 22, once again dancing on the rudder pedals and wrestling the ailerons as the gusty winds threatened to shove us off the pavement. As the sun began its descent, we began the final leg of what would end up being a four-hour trek.

As I approached the river, the plane started to settle faster than it had. It looked like I was still on a descent to touch down at the threshold on Runway 15. As I approached the center of the river and cliff, suddenly I was below the runway, looking up at the cliff. I lined up and continued to descend.

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.

Go Around – An aborted landing by an aircraft that is on final approach. Missed Approach – The procedure followed when an instrument approach cannot be completed to a full stop landing. The first step in executing a missed approach is to initiate a go around. REIL – Runway End Identifier Lights.

One of them informed us about the weather and possible thunderstorm at Delhi Airport and he mentioned about the smooth ride when they flew in from Delhi so we could be expecting smooth ride during cruising but possible turbulence when we approach Delhi. Before I know it, we were on our final approach. Let's see how good the landing is.
