In reality it’s neither, but the bigger problem is that most pilots don’t even know what it means. And since 95% of airports in the US are nontowered, most pilots will use some type of pattern entry every time they fly. ” What about the old fashioned midfield crosswind, which many of us grew up flying? .”

The small aileron “tabs” were not doing a great job in crosswind ability. For the final approach, I calculated V REF of about 128 was fought with much shear, with airspeed variances of up to 20 to 30 knots, providing a wild ride. I imagine this is how a real CRJ pilot must feel. Taking off in violent winds was a task.

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.

A pilot needs to control the airplane in a manner that the wings support the weight of the airplane as long as practical to minimize stresses imposed on the landing gear by a rough surface or to prevent sinking into a soft surface. Once committed to the landing, the pilot should gently lower the nose-wheel to the surface.

Even the best of pilots can mess up sometimes. But for new pilots, it can be tough to figure out where it all went wrong. Key Takeaways Start by setting up your approach correctly to ensure you arrive at the threshold perfectly every time. The easiest way to achieve this is by flying a stabilized approach.

Everything seems to be going well on approach, and then out of nowhere, you feel the jolt. Bounced landings are something almost every pilot has experience with. Even experienced pilots must remain cautious to prevent bounced landing accidents. Note : Seasoned pilots can also encounter a bounce landing situation.

Go-arounds are among the easiest tasks a pilot can perform. Pilots avoid go-arounds because it is seen as an admission of guilt. A go-around is a maneuver performed to abort or reject a landing on the final approach or once the aircraft has already touched down. The best choice is to abandon a bad landing and go around.
