The airplane came to rest about 1600 feet from the Runway 31 threshold and about 250 feet right of the extended centerline. Yet all indications are he succumbed to a simple stall on final approach. Another six percent occurred on final approach, after completing the turn to final.

If there is a crosswind at the airport, you should mention this in your brief. Discuss your nominated crosswind technique. Explain what aircraft input you will require to land the aircraft in the crosswind. For example, the crosswind is from left to right. Leading you to become too high and too fast on the approach.

Key Takeaways Start by setting up your approach correctly to ensure you arrive at the threshold perfectly every time. Perfect the approach phase by managing the aircraft’s energy and using references to improve positioning throughout the pattern. The easiest way to achieve this is by flying a stabilized approach.

Crosswind Landings : Learning no-flap crosswind landings can help improve aircraft control in high-wind conditions. This is important because crosswinds can make it difficult to control the aircraft at low speeds, so a no-flaps landing can teach you how to land with a higher approach speed.

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. Simple as that.

For most light aircraft, you should aim for a descent rate of 500 feet per minute on the final approach. Stabilized Approach Ideally, the goal should be to achieve a stabilized condition with a constant rate of descent. The Cessna 172, known for its forgiving nature, can encounter bounced landings if the pilot is not careful.

This was my flight's final assigned gate. I spotted another green stripes livery on this A330-900neo on final approach to this airport. Finally we reached the threshold and we were on our way. After this Lufthansa's A321CEO pushed back, my aircraft arrived at this gate not long after. Goodbye Frankfurt!
