Delta Connection flight received sink rate alert before Toronto Pearson crash

Aerotime

Around 13 seconds before touchdown as the aircraft was descending through 153 feet above ground level (AGL) the TSB said the CRJ900s indicated airspeed increased to 154 knots whereas the ground speed did not change appreciably, consistent with a performance-increasing wind gust. The bank angle increased to a 4.7right bank.

Mastering Stalls: How to Recognize, Prevent, and Recover Safely

Flight Training Central

As the airspeed slows into the white arc, extend the wing flaps. When the airplane is stabilized in the approach attitude and speed, begin to smoothly and slowly bring the nose up to an attitude which will cause a stall. The main factors which determine the angle of attack of a wing are, airspeed, weight, and load factor.

Unbolted in Fairfield (Update on the 2022 Bell 407 GXP Crash)

Fear of Landing

As the helicopter continued towards the airport, the airspeed began to decrease. The indicated airspeed had fallen below 65 knots and was still decreasing. As the airspeed decayed, the right yaw increased. The helicopter was at treetop height with an indicated airspeed of zero knots when the right yaw ceased.

Danger lurks in circling approaches

Air Facts

For example, some aircraft limit flaps and gear in icing until on approach or forbid the use of speed brakes or require a minimum thrust setting. Particular attention to true airspeed vs. turn radius. What specific indicated airspeed will be flown/adhered to during the circling maneuver? What speed on final approach?
