Plane and Pilot

When you’re starting to feel human again after major surgery, what’s a good plan for getting safely back into the cockpit? This 172 had a flap extension speed of 85 knots, and my old Cessna 172’s limit was 100 mph, or 87 knots. I had a total knee replacement. These discrepancies helped me get my head back in the game.

You might have heard pilots talking about the Instrument Landing Systems (ILS). The ILS is a type of approach pilots use to land. An audible tone or a visual light in the cockpit helps identify the position. They are as follows: Category A: Less than 91 knots. Category B: 91 knots to less than 121 knots.

At this late stage, all appeared normal with the aircraft seemingly in the correct profile for landing on runway 19 and telling ATC it was established on the ILS (Instrument Landing System) for runway 19. These devices subsequently caused fires at DHL logistics centers located in Leipzig as well as Birmingham in the UK.
