Having been cruising along at around 500 miles per hour (800 kph) or so, depending on aircraft type, the crew will need to reduce this to around 150 mph (240 kph) for the final approach, and even lower for the actual landing itself. At this point, the use of the aircraft’s flaps becomes critical.

Haynes took the controls and, noting the same control issues, reduced thrust on the number one engine, which resulted in the aircraft rolling out in a wings-level attitude, giving the crew critical time to evaluate the dire situation Flight 232 was facing. The plane entered a descending right-hand turn.

This configuration provides the necessary power for both climb and cruise, while also offering valuable training for managing asymmetric thrust in the event of an engine-out situation. When learning how to land a Piper Seminole, it is crucial to understand the role of each engine in the approach and landing phases.

This allows you to configure appropriately and ensures a stabilized approach. Take your ground speed in knots and divide it by two. An IFR pilot will run the GUMPS checklist before passing the final approach fix. So if your Vso is 50 knots, then aim to fly 70 knots. We calculate our approach speed using 1.3
