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 degrees to the right, and 3g vertical acceleration, and a rate of descent of approximately 1,098 feet per minute. The initial impact was 420 feet past the runway 23 threshold.

Descent Point Nominate a descent point that will give you a constant 3° profile to the threshold. We can calculate the rate of descent required to achieve a 3° profile. Add a zero to this number, and you have your target rate of descent. Add a zero, and that gives you a 400ft target rate of descent.

Turning left, heading towards the threshold. We started our descent. Reverse thrust was deployed. Passing by a couple of ANA aircraft. We started accelerating. What a beautiful day for flying! The colours of the engine reminds me of Air Baltic. A bit of bumps here and there. At this point, it was smooth all the way to arrival.

Fixed-Wing Foibles Consider the Airbus first officer (FO) who tried to satisfy ATCs request to increase their descent (rate), so he engaged open descent mode. The captain took control and applied aft stick pressure to return the airplane to a normal descent pitch attitude to prevent an overspeed. No mention of IPC results.

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.
