The approach for the soft-field landing is similar to the normal approach. This allows the airspeed to slowly dissipate while the airplane is flown just above the surface in ground effect. Allow the airspeed to slowly dissipate while the airplane is flown just above the surface in ground effect.

But as I banked into my final approach, my heart sank. I did the worst thing possible and tried to lose altitude by steepening my approach. Time seemed to freeze as I floated in ground effect. I had fully cut power and had flaps at twenty, but I was still far too high. Then it was all over in a matter of seconds.

This broad scope approach is ultimately needed to help keep our friends, created in the image of God, alive. This approach gives perspective on all factors, including those that might otherwise be ignored or unrecognized. An incomplete summary description of FASF is whether the airplane made it out of ground effect.

Not Cool, Man After transitioning across multiple sectors of Boston Center's vast airspace, the home stretch found us on with Boston Approach under a crisp, blue New Hampshire sky. Rolling out on final approach, I was surprised to see another airplane stopped right at the runway threshold. Like our friend that morning.)

Approaching Rifle The last six minutes of Shmulik’s flight are plotted on the following map. For each data point you can see the time stamp, the altitude MSL, the Ground Speed in kt, and the Vertical Velocity in feet per minute (fpm). Shmulik flew quite fast at ground speeds between 100 and 130 kt, carrying a lot of extra energy.
