After the necessary paperwork issues, we took off from runway 34R at Hurghada and got cleared to the right over the Red Sea. In Kuwait, we were told to expect the ILS of runway 33R approach, but when getting near to the ILS, Approach kept us high and even vectored us through the final approach course.

When the wind is blowing across the runway instead of along it, things get more challenging. However, the wind rarely aligns perfectly with the runway. We have two main challenges when performing crosswind landings: Staying aligned with the extended centerline on the approach. A runway excursion can quickly follow.

Most western pilots have patiently worked such lift for an hour or more while waiting for conditions to improve near their destination airport. Sometimes the wind socks at both ends of the runway point in opposite directions! Rapidly approaching cold fronts (or other fronts, e.g. sea breeze fronts).

ATC was great, the FBO (FlightLevel - Beverly) treated us well and charged reasonable fees, and radar services were managed by the perennially capable Boston Approach. We made an IFR departure that morning on runway 16 and climbed above the ceiling in short order. This was not a good setup to manage an approach down to minimums.

I was listening intently to the ASOS for wind or gusts, letting it repeat 5 or 6 times with the exact same report: 9 kts straight down the runway; no gusts. That was the runway we would use to land. It’s worth noting that Shmulik had a close call in the past: a jet pulled onto the runway in front of him with no radio call.

More air molecules in engine cylinders allow the engine to produce more power; more air molecules moving across the propellor blades and wings means more efficient thrust and lift. As altitude increases, air molecules spread out, resulting in less power and lift. After 50 minutes, we were taxiing to the runway.

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. This was my flight's final assigned gate. I spotted another green stripes livery on this A330-900neo on final approach to this airport.

The jet slammed into the ground six thousand feet short of the runway, taking the lives of 134 people. Detecting them is difficult, which makes final approach and landing especially dangerous. With nothing left to lift it, the core has nowhere else to go but down. This is just as deadly during takeoff.

Since the Beech 18 is a tailwheel airplane, this required the pilot to bend over, lift up the elevator, and inspect the trim tab actuator rods exiting from the underside of the elevator. With that as justification, I neglected to lift the elevator and continued on my way around the airplane. It would be an omission I would soon regret.

When bay ice consistently thickens to over 12 inches, a team of dedicated volunteers collaborates with the New Hampshire Department of Transportation to open the Alton Bay Ice Runway. Over the years, its coveted status as the only FAA-authorized ice runway in the continental United States has endeared it to aviators seeking novelty.

I once flew downwind, base, and final at a constant AOA. To get the extra lift required for the turns, I had to dive to get extra airspeed so that the plane could turn at that same AOA. On downwind, ATC had me at 3,000 feet going over the departure end of the crossing runway. Turning final, I was still way, way high.

A go-around is a maneuver performed to abort or reject a landing on the final approach or once the aircraft has already touched down. These include a runway collision, porpoising, bouncing, or possible overrun. ATC can also ask for a go-around if the landing runway is unsafe or for spacing reasons. What Is a Go-Around?

On January 2, 2024, a Japan Airlines (JAL) Airbus A350-900 operating a flight from Sapporo to Tokyo collided with a Japan Coast Guard DHC-8-300 on the runway at Tokyo-Haneda Airport (HND). The Fokker 50 went off the runway and subsequently collided with a house. By this point, the DHC-8 was already alight from the initial impact.

The airport mayhave 2 runways (runway 14/32 and runway 09/27) but only one runway is in operation (09/27) and if this runway is in maintenance, the other runway will be in used. Once we reached runway 27, we departed just minutes after our schedule departure time. Let's check what movies are there.
