One Mile at a Time

Almost the entire flight appeared to be routine, until the plane was on approach to SFO. Its interesting to note that the plane was both lower than it shouldve been, and also quite a bit faster, as it was going 173 knots.

Why It Matters: This mimics a common accident scenario where a pilot overshoots the final approach centerline and tries to “force” the turn with rudder, leading to a stall/spin. How to Perform: Trim the airplane for a climb or approach speed (e.g., 65 knots in a Cessna 172). 45 bank) at a stable airspeed (e.g.,

As we approached the gate, my phone rang again. The RNAV approach to the 7,000-foot Runway 31 that snakes around from the Runway 4 extended centerline, loops past Citi Field, and rolls out on a tight-in final approach. When you’re already this far down our particular approach, there wasn’t a lot of time for anything.

Pilot Institute

Fear of Landing

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.
