While the report draws no conclusions as to the cause of the crash, investigators set out a detailed timeline which focuses heavily on the Mitsubishi CRJ900s descent. The pilot flyingpulled back the thrust levers, and as a result, over the following 5seconds, N1 decreased from 64% to approximately 43%, where it remained until touchdown.

degrees Less than one second before touchdown, the plane had an indicated airspeed of 134 knots, a ground speed of 111 knots, a bank angle of 7.1 degrees to the right, and a rate of descent of 1,110 feet per minute The plane touched down at a bank angle of 7.5 These details should be revealed in subsequent reports.

When stepping into the cockpit, one of the most important instruments that a pilot relies on is the airspeed indicator. Among the metrics displayed, Indicated Airspeed (IAS) stands out as a critical measure for safe and efficient flight operations. Red Line : Maximum speednever exceed this limit.

If you’re aiming to get comfortable with managing both airspeed and altitude in flight, you’ll need to understand the difference between indicated airspeed (IAS) and true airspeed (TAS). Key Takeaways Airspeed and altitude are directly linked to each other throughout different phases of your flight. Why is that?

The pilot held instructor ratings for helicopter and instrument helicopter, with 872 hours flight time, of which 29 were on type. Five minutes later, about two miles south of Teterboro, the pilot said “What is going on here?” The controller asked if the pilot needed assistance but the pilot said no.

A circling approach is one that, by dwindling numbers and its inherent design, forces the pilot(s) into a seldom used and high-risk evolution–often migrating us to an unexpected and seldom visited zip code of the threat/error management neighborhood. When was the last time either pilot (single pilot) performed this exact approach?

Both pilots were very experienced, each with over 5,000 hours of flight experience. One of the pilots turned the airframe de-icing system back on. In order to do this, the APM uses the calculated take-off weight entered by the pilots at engine start using a rotary knob on the APM panel. The ATR’s airspeed was 191 knots.
