The stall speed is cited in the docket as 53 knots. Whoever was flying that day appears to have intentionally slowed the aircraft to 28 knots. Regardless, the aircraft entered a dangerous descent at 8,000 feet per minute. The G1000 recorded the airplane’s descent rate at over 8,000 ft/minute 3 seconds later.

The flight seemed routine until the flight crew started the final descent from 34,000 feet. While the aircraft was flying at a ground speed of 453 knots (about 840 kilometers per hour), countless hailstones battered the fuselage, engines, and cockpit windows. There were 173 passengers and 6 crew on board. But not just that.

Cessna has defined the ideal short-field landing speed at 61 knots. When flying different types of aircraft, particularly smaller aircraft, it’s worth considering a landing speed of three to five knots slower. The higher you raise your pitch, the slower your descent on the way down.

Upon reaching five knots before the rotation speed, I merely tugged on the manual trim slightly and the aircraft rose without hesitation. I put the gear down one dot above the glideslope and let the drag bring the aircraft down at its 550 foot-per-minute descent rate. The A36 Bonanza is rated to fly at 178 knots ROP at 6,000 feet.

High-wing aircraft might need more power or pitch to arrest the descent. High Descent Rate If you have a high sink rate on approach, you’ll have a tough time arresting the descent during the roundout. Overcorrecting for a high descent rate will cause the aircraft to balloon.

One benefit of these aerodynamic tweaks is a vibration, or “initial buffet,” that is felt in the seat of the pants and flight controls, about 10-15 knots above stall speed. If the engine does not restart, maintaining the descent and a margin above the critical angle of attack is a better bet than stalling.

It’s just S-turns with climbs and descents, right? For a Cessna 172, the recommended indicated airspeed for the maneuver is 105 knots. At this point, you should be flying at the slowest speed (5-10 knots above stall speed). Airspeed ±10 knots from entry airspeed. Set the power before entering the maneuver.

Put the aircraft in level flight to give them a moment to consider their next course of action so they are not anxiously doing climbs, descents, and unplanned turns. It might be no greater than 6 knots with gusts to 10 mph. Then the CFI should increase the winds so they are 10 knots (or more) above the demonstrated crosswind component.

To arrest this descent, you need to generate more lift. Pitching down for airspeed magnifies the already steep descent rate. When banking, you must increase the angle of attack to keep the descent rate in check. A 60-degree bank increases stall speed by 20 knots, three knots above the best glide speed.

The stall warning horn sounds at least 5 knots above the actual stall speed. Since you need to fly without triggering the warning, select a target airspeed of about 2 to 5 knots more. Your target airspeed should be 5 knots above the speed that triggers the stall warning horn. Turbulent air will require a larger airspeed margin.
