However, the aircraft experienced wind shear, dropped below the glideslope and became thrust deficient. During the final approach, the pilot reduced engine throttles to manage airspeed and align with the Instrument Landing System glideslope.

This configuration provides the necessary power for both climb and cruise, while also offering valuable training for managing asymmetric thrust in the event of an engine-out situation. Review current weather conditions, including wind speed, direction, and visibility, as these can significantly impact the approach.
