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. Uniquely, the Aerotrain was to be propelled by a single Pratt & Whitney JT8D jet engine mounted on the roof of the vehicle, as used on Boeing 727s and 737s at the time.

Did that extra burst of power increase the speed too much, resulting in the long-landing, float and subsequent Go-Around?

I felt I was strapped into a runaway jet. I crossed the runway threshold at 70 mph and let a little more speed bleed off as I attempted to stay a few inches off the runway with the nosewheel slightly up. Adrenaline coursed through my veins, and every sense was tuned to the heartbeat of the small new airplane. I was 200 feet too high.

Using the VASI is crucial as it gives you safe obstruction clearance within 10 degrees of either side of the runway centerline and around four nautical miles from the runway threshold. nautical miles from the runway threshold. VASI provides a more extensive range of obstacle clearance at 4 nautical miles from the runway threshold.

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. Several of these unstabilized approaches resulted in major aircraft damage or worse. So, what happened?

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.

Just before our appointed entry time, a privately owned performance jet somehow missed the approach to the 12,000-foot-long runway and then declared a low-fuel emergency. We were asked to hold our position a few more minutes before finally being cleared to begin our approach after the jet made a successful landing on the second attempt.

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. Nearing the end of my tour in the ferry squadron, the airlines were expanding rapidly, converting to jet aircraft and hiring pilots to fly them.

In business jets and airliners, the issue is usually being too fast, leading to a runway excursion and often substantial damage or even fatalities.
