The accident happened as the pilot was attempting to fly the RNAV 20 approach, which takes the aircraft directly over the potato processing plant with numerous vent stacks constantly in operation. The standard for airspeed after passing the final approach fix was 120 kias indicated, according to the Flight Maneuvers Description Manual (FMDM).

Approach speeds typically range from 80 to 90 knots depending on weight and flap settings, while full flaps are often used to provide the necessary lift during landing. The aircrafts landing gear is retractable, which must be extended during the final approach. Additionally, configure the aircraft for a stable descent.

I intercepted the approach course and after a few moments, reached the final approach fix at JUNIA. I pulled the power back and set a notch of flaps to establish a 90 knot, 500 foot/minute descent. Inbound to WALCO on the RNAV-28 approach with Sodus Bay in sight.

Moderate wind shear in some areas could make some thermals somewhat difficult to work but that, too, is typical. Under normal circumstances Shmulik would have had sufficient altitude to delay the landing by several minutes: his glider’s minimum descent rate in still air was just 100 fpm. to 2 miles) in diameter.

The incident occurred while the crew was conducting a low-visibility approach through dense fog. During the final approach, the pilot reduced engine throttles to manage airspeed and align with the Instrument Landing System glideslope. The crew did not notice the aircraft’s dropping vertical velocity until it was too late.

The pilots fought to recover, but the wind shear was too strong. Detecting them is difficult, which makes final approach and landing especially dangerous. Detecting them is difficult, which makes final approach and landing especially dangerous. It is the most severe type of wind shear.
