cause a sudden decrease in lift, an excessive sink rate, and an aggravated unstable condition. If the approach is too high or too low, it may not be possible to establish a stabilized approach, and the pilot should execute ... around. Typically, pilots go-around if unable to establish a stabilized approach by 500 ft above airport elevation in visual meteorological conditions (VMC) or 1,000 ft above airport elevation in instrument conditions (IMC). For a typical GA piston aircraft…
- Chapter 9: Approaches and Landings › Short-Field Approach and Landing
When safety and conditions permit, a wider-than-normal pattern with a longer final approach may be used. This allows the pilot ample opportunity to adjust and stabilize the descent angle after the airplane is configured and trimmed. A stabilized ... approach is essential. The procedures for landing on a short field or for landing approaches over obstacles as recommended in the AFM/POH should be used. [Figure 9-22 and Figure 9-23] These procedures generally involve a final approach started…
- Chapter 9: Approaches and Landings › Power-Off Accuracy Approaches › 180° Power-Off Approach
full attention is given to making a good, safe landing rather than concentrating on the selected landing spot. The approach angle used and final approach airspeed determine the probability of landing on the spot, and late adjustments to these parameters ... from the spot than to make a poor landing precisely on or just past the spot. 180° Power-Off Approach The 180° power-off approach is executed by gliding with idle power from a given point on a downwind…
