The incident, which was categorized as serious by the Air Accident Investigation Authority (AAIA) , resulted in the closure of a runway at HKG for eight hours. There were four crew members and one passenger on board the cargo jet. The crew dumped fuel and made a PAN-PAN call, before the aircraft made an ILS approach back to runway 25R.

Southwest Airlines can’t seem to stay out of the news when it comes to concerning incidents lately, from a scary go around in Hawaii , to a dangerously low approach in Oklahoma City , to an inflight Dutch roll. So pilots are supposed to report that they’re taxiing, entering the runway, etc., so that other pilots can plan accordingly.

We will also examine the next most critical phase of our flight, from descent and deceleration to the approach and landing phases, even touching upon what happens when the aircraft arrives safely at the gate. Jet (and turboprop) turbine engines work more efficiently, and burn less fuel, at higher altitudes where the air is less dense.

Back in the early days of jet airliners, pilots long experienced in more forgiving two- and four-engine, piston-powered prop planes found themselves running out of airspeed, altitude, and ideas on the final approach to landing. Several of these unstabilized approaches resulted in major aircraft damage or worse.

The CRJ is interesting to fly with a lot of trimming required as it’s a long-bodied jet with a large swing either side of the CG. I mean, all jets I have flown are like that, but this is fairly sensitive to pitch, power, and flap configuration—all requiring lots of trimming. With a lighter corporate jet, that is powerful.
