Back in the early days of jet airliners, pilots long experienced in more forgiving two- and four-engine, piston-powered prop planes found themselves running out of airspeed, altitude, and ideas on the final approach to landing. Some pilots soar like eagles to a smooth touchdown, and others settle to the runway like wounded turkeys.

While it may be common to find some very spartan instrumentation on an open cockpit biplane at the local fly-in, the level of complexity increases exponentially in turboprops and jet cockpits. Theres an expectation of advanced avionics installed on a high-end business jet, but Honeywells reach also extends to the turboprop market.

The little plane leapt into the air almost immediately as the wind seemingly swirled from every direction along the 5,000-foot runway. I announced our departure intentions, receiving well wishes from the airport attendant who had come out to admire the plane, and Wilkins once again pointed us down the runway and into the blue sky.

At that point, you’re simply looking down the runway, and then it lifts off. You just make one great big U-turn, that way you can kind of watch the runway the whole time. And then when you get down near the threshold, you just hold it off and gently let the wheels down. That was one thing I was kind of surprised at.”

The aerials are at the runway’s landing end. The aerials are in a position that provides a threshold crossing height of 50ft. It consists of lights that start at the landing threshold and extend into the approach area. Includes light twin-engine aircraft and some business jets. Let’s review them.

In the turn there is no problem, but when rolling out on the runway centerline, the view is reduced even more. To get a little better view approaching the threshold I leaned to my left and stretched up to maybe see a little more of the runway. The view from the rear seat is mostly out the side window. And I won the bet!

Additionally, demand for air travel soared in the post-war years, going on to reach even higher levels once the jet age arrived in the late 1950s. The airport’s original plans called for five similar terminal buildings, all built in the central area between the runways.

Aircraft departing from the airports easterly runways blast over the citys central business district and head out over Miami Beach and the Atlantic Ocean before continuing on track for their destination. With its three parallel runways, Sky Harbor International Airport hosts 24 airlines serving 120 domestic and 25 international destinations.

But growing up amid the roar of propellers and jets had planted in me the seed of a lifelong love of all things aeronautical. In short order we were accelerating down the runway, ascending into the cerulean sky, climbing over the city, and being treated to a breathtaking view of the expansive ocean to the west.

At a quick glance of a spreadsheet that the torches-and-pitchforks crowd put together, 16 airports have a fee for all operatorsthe rest only assess landing fees via Vector for commercial or jet operators. That said, slipping the weight threshold down would be an easy move for any airport administrationand merits monitoring.

But too much airspeed can lead to bounced landings if the pilot tries to force the airplane on the runway or a runway excursion if the airplane runs out of room before it runs out of speed. The left wing dropped and the airplane descended off the side of the runway, impacted terrain, and cartwheeled before coming to rest.”

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) differentiates an accident from an incident by imposing a threshold of aircraft damage set at $1 million. Air taxi operations, executive jets, helicopters, and general aviation activities have been excluded in the interests of concision. This definition has been in place since 2005.
