Around 13 seconds before touchdown as the aircraft was descending through 153 feet above ground level (AGL) the TSB said the CRJ900s indicatedairspeed 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.
degrees Less than one second before touchdown, the plane had an indicatedairspeed of 134 knots, a ground speed of 111 knots, a bank angle of 7.1 A large portion of the tail section was found on the runway, around 1,680 feet from the threshold, and 235 feet from the main wreckage.
As the helicopter continued towards the airport, the airspeed began to decrease. The indicatedairspeed 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 indicatedairspeed of zero knots when the right yaw ceased.
Missing its tail, pointing almost straight down, a Van’s RV-7A single-engine, two-seat homebuilt plummeted out of the blue and into the rocky ground. This wasn’t the first Van’s homebuilt to experience an in-flight tail separation. In most cases, some type of aerobatics with an increase in airspeed preceded loss of control.

It was a beefed up, militarized version of the Beechcraft Bonanza with a narrowed fuselage and conventional tail, seating two pilots in tandem cockpits with controls and indicators configured similarly to tactical aircraft of the period. Dropping like an inverted dart tail first, Morris, from his aft cockpit perch exclaimed,“Wheeeee!”
Flying in clouds of cold and warm fronts can lead to very small supercooled water droplets which build up as rime ice on the parts of the aircraft exposed to the wind: probes, antennas, and the leading edges of the wings and tail. The ATR’s airspeed was 191 knots.
Flap overspeed protection makes for one more improvement, preventing the pilot from deploying the flaps above the programmed indicatedairspeed relevant to the flap setting selected. It also prevents you from retracting the flaps when airspeed is too low.
Class C airports’ speed limits require aircraft within 4 Nautical Miles (NM) of the primary airport and below 2500 feet to maintain an IndicatedAirspeed (IAS) of 200 knots or less. Give ATC a brief but informative transmission with the following information: The kind and tail number of the aircraft.
The Rifle ASOS recorded a gust of 43 mph from the south: a 100-degree shift in direction, putting it right on his tail. Without knowing the horizontal wind direction and speed at this point it is impossible to say what his indicatedairspeed was. He expedited his landing trying to fly out of what was likely epic sink.
