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.

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. We have the ILS Approach for RDU Runway 5L, for this example. Let’s review them.

That said, slipping the weight threshold down would be an easy move for any airport administrationand merits monitoring. The PlanePass equipment installed on-field does more than track transponders. A photo snapped of your airplane turning off the runway would have you caught red-handed. It includes cameras.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) differentiates an accident from an incident by imposing a threshold of aircraft damage set at $1 million. The Fokker 50 went off the runway and subsequently collided with a house. This definition has been in place since 2005. The aircraft was severely damaged and has not been repaired.
