There’s even an alert for weight and balance when your center of gravity is out of limits. Runway Final Approach Alert – Alerts when approaching any runway, based on altitude, vertical speed, track, and when within 4 nm of the runway threshold. Here’s a rundown of what you might hear. nm and +/- 1,200 ft.

This tendency is due to their high center of gravity and heavy engine over the nose wheel. On a normal landing, you’d pull the power over the threshold, begin your roundout, and flare around 10 feet AGL. When crossing the threshold, start reducing the power. In extreme cases, a nose-over can occur.

The pilot reported that he was too high and fast crossing the threshold 70 feet above ground level (AGL) at 90 mph. Halfway down the runway the airplane was about 30 feet AGL at a speed of about 45 mph, and oscillating 20 degrees either side of center. No mention of IPC results. Post-almost-flight investigation proved embarrassing.
