Threshold Thrust Turbulence 
Pilot Institute
MARCH 28, 2025
The exhaust coming out of aircraft engines looks pretty dangerous, generating huge amounts of thrust and pushing back tons of hot air. By far the strongest component of wake turbulence is the swirling air generated at the tips of the aircrafts wings. Wake turbulence can cause severe roll and structural damage to smaller aircraft.

Depending on the wind direction and airport surroundings, you may experience some turbulence. This will reduce your workload in turbulent conditions. Descent Point Nominate a descent point that will give you a constant 3° profile to the threshold. This is because only one engine produces thrust. We multiply Vso by 1.3

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. During the takeoff mode, the biggest one of these emergencies being loss of thrust (loss of engine power). A good pilot briefs himself about any-and-all emergency procedures.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) differentiates an accident from an incident by imposing a threshold of aircraft damage set at $1 million. During the landing, following an excessive pitch-up movement by the aircraft, its aft fuselage contacted the runway approximately 326 meters (1,070ft) beyond the runway threshold.

One of them informed us about the weather and possible thunderstorm at Delhi Airport and he mentioned about the smooth ride when they flew in from Delhi so we could be expecting smooth ride during cruising but possible turbulence when we approach Delhi. We reached the threshold of runway 27. So overall, this flight was smooth.
