Final Approach Lift Threshold 
Pilot Institute
DECEMBER 31, 2024
Lift and Drag Modifications A no-flaps landing significantly reduces drag and lift, which is why the approach is flown at a higher speed. In such a situation, you need to maintain lift by adjusting the angle of attack and airspeed, which requires precise control. Pre-Landing Checklist 1. What should you do?

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. Still IFR, but barely.

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. Goodbye Frankfurt!

As Warrior 481 lifted us to a cruise altitude of 7,500 feet, the first hint of the sunrise came in the form of a massive fireball turned vermillion by miles of low haze between us and the horizon. Rolling out on final approach, I was surprised to see another airplane stopped right at the runway threshold. Joe asked.

Unfortunately, the airport was socked-in with highly localized fog and conditions were below minimums for even the most precise instrument approach procedure available. Unless the weather lifted before we arrived, there would be no getting into Port Huron. It was a typical turbulent, gusty, unpredictable Mackinac Island arrival.

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.
