Even with this knowledge, pilots continue to engage in behavior that culminates in unstable approaches.

Most of the ailerons mass lies behind the hinge, making it tail-heavy. Tail-heavy ailerons droop downwards when they arent being pulled by the control system. potentially reverting the aileron back into a tail-heavy state. The resulting loss of lift leads to a rapid descent by the aircraft.

Jetsmart Introduction This airline reminds me very much of Frontier, with the different animal livery on the tail making it very attractive and because I had to decide between this airline and Sky Airlines (Based in Santiago, Chile), I decided to go for the former. I was able to enjoy a couple of movies on these relative short flights.

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. The camera view of both the landing gear and tail is really an additional bonus especially for aircraft enthusiasts like myself. Well done to the PIC (Pilot-in-command)!
