On a normal landing, you’d pull the power over the threshold, begin your roundout, and flare around 10 feet AGL. When crossing the threshold, start reducing the power. High-wing aircraft might need more power or pitch to arrest the descent. The sudden loss of lift can cause the wheels to dig into the ground.

Any substantial changes to speed and descent rate will destabilize the landing. If it prevents you from landing close to the threshold, a short runway becomes even shorter. The drag allows for a steeper descent, which is particularly helpful when avoiding obstacles. Reducing lift puts more weight on the wheels.

At this point, we started our descent into Singapore, flying near Malaysia. Once we reached near the threshold, we waited for this China Eastern A330 to land before we depart. We lifted off in slightly bumpy conditions. The windows were unlocked when we started our descent. The limited selection of hollywood movie.

To get there, you need to follow the signboard leading you to a lift and from the lower level, you can walk through the underpass to get to the other building. Finally we reached the threshold and we were on our way. The view is excellent but it was quite bumpy during our descent. Do you recognise this cartoon character?

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. This meant that there would be no getting into Sodus unless the ceiling lifted. I normally do this upon hearing, "Cleared for the approach."

The J-4, also known as a Cub Coupe, had been dropped off in Kennett for annual in 2008 by its then-owner and ended up becoming a permanent resident when Hurricane Ike stretched inland all the way to the Missouri Bootheel, lifting it from the ground and depositing it on top of the FBO’s maintenance hangar.

Just as I was settled in, the captain announced to all of us that the flight had begun its descent and requested the crew to prepare for landing. We reached the threshold of runway 27. Once we started our descent, I changed the channel to the camera mode (landing gear) to enjoy this view. At this point, we started our descent.
