Navy had equipped both the USS Akron and Macon airships with a hangar deck and trapezes to carry and launch Curtiss F9C Sparrowhawk fighter planes. In a feat of incredible airmanship, he immediately began an emergency descent and landed the Goblin prototype on Muroc Dry Lake in California. A belly skid had been installed for the test.

Since we lost our LPV approaches due to obstructions along the final approach course, the downgraded LNAV minimum descent altitude for the approach to runway 28 was 558 feet above the ground. I managed the stepdown to 2,000 feet at JAKRR (named for WFC founder Jake DeGroote) by programming the autopilot for a descent to that altitude.

At the airport, there was ice and snow to remove from in front of the hangar door, fuel to add to the Warrior now resting on three fully inflated tires (the left main had a new tube), and then there was the moment when I slipped on ice while pulling the airplane from the hangar and landed flat on my back. We had a deal.

In this scenario, a busy controller and task saturation led to a late descent, which resulted in an error of being too high and unstablized, and the lack of knowledge and training led to an undesired aircraft state of flying past the missed approach point at an inappropriate altitude.

I’ve seen a single person lift a Tiger Moth by the tail to take it out of its hangar. The descent of the rotating propeller causes a gyroscopic precession to the left. Like many aircraft at the time, the Tiger Moth’s fuselage is constructed of fabric-covered steel tubing, while its wings are made of fabric-covered wooden frames.
