Fifteen hundred feet past the end of the runway, a pilot was trapped in the cockpit of an Extra NG. You had a crosswind , so the wind wasn’t helping you out, but that’s all right. ATC rolled the emergency vehicles and cleared her to land straight in on Runway 13, wind 080 at 6 knots, with the wingman flying escort.

The major difference between the two is that a degree of power is used throughout the level-off and touchdown for the soft-field landing so as to control the descent rate all the way to touch down. Add full flaps and establish recommended soft-field approach speed on final, approximately 1/2 mile from the runway.

NTSB ERA22LA169 describes a funny engine noise that prompted an earlier than planned turn to crosswind for an anticipated return to the airport. The instructor was able to complete the turn, but the airplane overshot the runway. From my point of view it was evident that we did not have enough room to safely land on Runway 17.

“Clermont County Traffic, Skyhawk 2135 Sierra is departing runway 22, Clermont.” I turn crosswind, then downwind, and base. My turn to final is a little wide so I corrected back onto the extended centerline for runway 22 for a descent, but safe landing. Well, here goes nothing. FIRST SOLO!

Immediately, the pilot monitoring told the passengers to buckle up as the pilot flying disengaged the autopilot and pushed the stick forward into a smooth but rapid descent. But pilots can look to the wind direction and speed relative to the runway, and the presence of nearby upwind obstacles. Turbulence intensity table.

Anyway, on our approach to Athens, we were greeted with a spectacular view of the landscape but there was quite a bit of crosswind which made the ride slightly uncomfortable but not long after we landed smoothly on runway 21L. Window shot photos After pushed back, we took about 15 minutes to reach the runway.

The little plane leapt into the air almost immediately as the wind seemingly swirled from every direction along the 5,000-foot runway. Once there, he put us in a slight right turn toward our first fuel stop 60 miles ahead, continuously fighting the stick as the gusting left crosswind did its best to push us off course.

As your aircraft smoothly climbs away from the runway, nothing seems amiss. Your first instinct is to turn around and land on the lovely, long runway from which you just departed. It involves a steep bank at low airspeed and a turn of more than 180 degrees to reach the runway. The goal is to head back and land on the runway.

These include a runway collision, porpoising, bouncing, or possible overrun. ATC can also ask for a go-around if the landing runway is unsafe or for spacing reasons. An approach is stabilized when: The aircraft is on the correct flight path, i.e., on runway centerline and glideslope. Airspeed is not less than 1.3Vso +10/-0.

More turns, steep banks, and soon enough I spot her orange kayak in the lake just off the end of runway 9. Descent and landing is smooth and calm this evening, and I make a wheel landing for the fun of it. I make the turn off the runway, another radio call, and I taxi to the pumps. All set, now it’s time to go.
