An IFR pilot will run the GUMPS checklist before passing the final approach fix. Leading you to become too high and too fast on the approach. Final Approach The last turn will be from base to final. If flying IFR, most approaches will align you perfectly with the runway. So, what does GUMPS stand for?

The RNAV approach to the 7,000-foot Runway 31 that snakes around from the Runway 4 extended centerline, loops past Citi Field, and rolls out on a tight-in final approach. I spent our 82-minute flight to New York’s crown jewel of airports explaining the intricacies and idiosyncrasies that go with landing there.

At this point, we were on final approach. We touched down smoothly and reverse thrusts were deployed to slow the aircraft down. Mumbai had been raining for weeks at this point. This reminds me of the city of Sao Paulo (Brazil). The weather looked worse compared to my previous arrival at this airport. Almost there!

At this point, we were on final approach. Reverse thrust was deployed. We were placed on a holding pattern due to heavy traffic at our arrival airport. However, that gave the passengers an opportunity to enjoy the amazing view. The city of Fukuoka greeted us. With that, my enjoyable flight came to an end.

At this point, we were on final approach as landing gears were deployed and flaps were set. On final approach onto runway 20R. Reverse thrusts were deployed and our aircraft slowed down to taxi speed. Once we were released from our holding pattern, we were given instructions to prepare for arrival.

We were on final approach onto runway 02L, greeted by the familar sighting of the Eastern part of Singapore. Reverse thrust was deployed (only on the 2nd and 3rd engine) to slow the aircraft down to taxi speed. I am certainly a fan of these type of this view. At this point, we started our descent into Changi Airport.

At this point, we were on final approach to runway 31L. Reverse thrusts were deployed to slow our aircraft down. Many hours later, we started our descent into New York. At this point, the flight was smooth thanks to the good weather. We landed smoothly on runway 31L. Welcome back to the U.S!

The incident occurred while the crew was conducting a low-visibility approach through dense fog. During the final approach, the pilot reduced engine throttles to manage airspeed and align with the Instrument Landing System glideslope.

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. Phoenix Approach Control gave us a few delay vectors before turning us onto final approach.

Detecting them is difficult, which makes final approach and landing especially dangerous. Calm down and follow these steps: Apply maximum thrust immediately. This weather phenomenon is called a microburst , one of aviations deadliest threats. They are violent, localized downdrafts that strike without warning. What do you do?

Glide control and approach management are life-saving without engine thrust. When your aircraft loses thrust, youll have to glide it safely to the ground using only aerodynamic control. When the engine is running, the propeller is in motion, actively generating thrust. What Is a Deadstick Landing?

After completing the approach briefing, we were given our descent clearance and I initiated the Vertical Nav profile that was loaded into the FMS. As the thrust levers rolled back, I asked for the descent checklist. I remember Jim saying to me, “Mark, I don’t care how bad your landing is, but whatever happens, don’t go around.”

The DHC-8, which had been tasked to transport supplies to Niigata in response to the Noto Peninsula earthquake occurring the previous day, had entered the runway at Haneda Airport as the JAL A350 was on final approach. The copilot selected the thrust reversers. The aircraft then bounced to a height of about three feet (2m).

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.
