However, the capstone of all these efforts was the adoption of stabilized approach criteria and procedures on every approach and landing. GA pilots find time-tested and more creative ways to skitter off the side of the runway, land short of the threshold, or slide off the far end with the brakes smoking and tires squealing.

Upon his return, he reported that both right-hand and left-hand rear stabilizers had sustained damage. NTSB Fitch continued to make small manipulations of the engine controls as the aircraft crossed the runway threshold, still maintaining a straight and level attitude but at a landing speed much higher than normal.

Key Takeaways Start by setting up your approach correctly to ensure you arrive at the threshold perfectly every time. You can only begin improving the touchdown if you’ve mastered positioning your aircraft above the runway threshold correctly. The easiest way to achieve this is by flying a stabilized approach.

As with any landing, it’s vital to have a stabilized approach. If you’re not stabilized at 200 feet AGL, go around. On a normal landing, you’d pull the power over the threshold, begin your roundout, and flare around 10 feet AGL. When crossing the threshold, start reducing the power.

As the graphs obtained directly from the watches suggest, prior to any flight, there is a rise in the heart rate above the underlying “resting” threshold. No matter the number of hours in the cockpit, nor the experience, seem to stymie the primitive brain from doing its deed when called upon in unnatural circumstances.

You should read up on the dangers of hypoxia to recognize all its signs and symptoms, but in general, you should: Begin using oxygen as soon as you reach the altitude thresholds set by the FAA or your personal limits. Don’t wait until you feel symptoms of hypoxia, as your judgment may already be impaired.
