The prototype lifted off, hovered and flew at a speed of 40 knots before landing. The pilot then increased acceleration with a target of seven knots ground speed. But as it passed through 2 to 4 knots, there was a loud POP. This caused a loss of thrust from motors 4 and 7. A propeller blade flew off of EPU3.

In gusty conditions, for example, crews tend to add a few knots to their touchdown speed, which allows for fluctuations in airspeed while on final approach. The same applies to the selecting of reverse pitch on turboprop aircraft, which translates the thrust produced by the rotating propellor forwards creating a slowing effect.

Take your ground speed in knots and divide it by two. So if your Vso is 50 knots, then aim to fly 70 knots. So if our stall speed was 50 knots, our approach speed would be 65 knots. This is because only one engine produces thrust. This allows you to configure appropriately and ensures a stabilized approach.

The pilot maneuvers the plane with a 7% thrust paving the way for a 30-knot speed. Once the plane is far enough from the gate, the main engine turns on at its lowest speed and the tugging discontinues at the detachment point, which is when taxiing begins. The plane continues to move by itself to the head of the runway.
