As the pilot in command, it is your job to minimize the loss of altitude and recovery as soon as practicable. It’s mainly due to the effects of thrust and the high-energy slipstream from the propeller preventing boundary separation. Adjust the throttle and mixture to cruise settings once the aircraft is in a clean configuration.

Yaw dampers are turned off at landing and takeoff so that the pilot is able to positively identify a malfunctioning engine. If the yaw damper is still active when an engine fails on takeoff or landing, itll automatically compensate for the yaw caused by the engines lack of thrust. What Is Aileron Trim?

The problem is, there’s more than this one limitation involved in the average flight, beyond just the perils that can be met by our piloting ability. We need to consider the full range of hazards we’re facing, and that involves more than just assessing the pilot’s ability. Probably not without some practice.

Because the Tu-144 lacked any reverse thrust capabilities, it was also forced to rely on a drag chute to help slow it down during landings. The pilot in command was Tupolev’s chief test pilot Eduard Yelyan. On December 31, 1968, Tu-144 CCCP-68001 made the type’s first flight.

Well done to the PIC (Pilot-in-command)! Touched down with the reverse thrust kicking in to slow the aircraft down. This is the Roll Royce XWB-84 engines, with 84,000 Ibf thrust. I can enjoy the movie and watch the flight map at the same time. Let's see how good the landing is. Here we are.
