The FMDM also stated that “after passing the final approach fix inbound, begin descent to MDA or step-down fix, if applicable. Descent should be approximately 1,000 fpm [feet per minute] to ensure that you are at the next required altitude. The approach plate for the RNAV 20 at KBYI notes the descent angle for the approach is 3.75

It can be for a number of reasons, but mostly because of hills and mountains close to the airport making a gradual descent impossible. This is the path the aircraft follows on approach to landing. High buildings in an urban area close to the approach path would also require a steep approach for landing.

For example, in a 200-feet-per-minute descent, a typical light plane will only gain a little speed. So in an airplane, within limits, we can control how fast we want to go, forward and vertically, with a combination of power and “uphill” (climb) or “downhill” (descent). Now what does it mean when a plane has “too much energy?”

A vertical descent rate of 19.5 feet per second is twice the maximum descent speed and it collapsed under the impact. Whilst the aircraft’s flight control system was able to maintain a level attitude, the high rate of descent caused by the loss of vertical thrust resulted in substantial damage to the aircraft when it struck the ground.
