We have a LOSS of Control Problem!
• This airplane lost control on landing when the pilot flared too high and stalled in West Texas.
• He attempted to taxi the airplane to the ramp, and it worked until the nose wheel collapsed.

Loss of Control
• This “new” private pilot LOST CONTROL when he attempted to land on a public highway to look at an auction site, near Pecos, Texas.
• The crosswind caught him and put him into the ditch and a fence.

Take Off Planning and Briefings
• Brief your take off.– Passengers and Crew (Including SP Ops)
• Passenger Requirements
• Departure procedure
• Crew Duties

Approach and Landing Accidents
• Over half of all accidents occur during these phases.
• The leading accident factor for takeoffs and landings is loss of control (30.2 % of takeoff accidents and 32.8 % of landing accidents).
• Other factors include obstructions, night operations, runway conditions and weather.

Approach and Landing Accidents
• Major Factors To Consider– Lack of Situational Awareness - CFIT– Nonstabilized Approaches– Wind (Direction and Velocity)– Obstructions– Weather – Turbulence,Wind Shear,
Microburst – Runway (Condition, Length, Slope)– Night (Decreased Visibility)

Why Focus on Landings?
Statistics indicate:
46% Of accidents occurred during the Landing phase of Flight.

Stabilized Approach

Stabilized Approach
• FAA Order 8400.10, volume 4, chapter 2, section 3, paragraph 511 discusses stabilized approaches.
• Defines a stabilized approach as maintaining:– Stable speed, – Stable descent rate, – Stable vertical flight paths, – Stable configuration.
VFR- Below 500 ft
IFR- Below 1000 ft
December 6, 2008 18 18Federal AviationAdministration
Tampa FloridaMay 07, 2011
Stabilized Approach
• Proper airspeed for the segment of the approach • Correct flight path • Correct aircraft configuration for the phase of flight • Appropriate power setting for aircraft configuration • Normal angle and rate of descent for the type of
approach • Minor corrections for pitch and power required to
maintain stabilized approach • Normal bracketing (+/-5°) used to correct for lateral
navigation deviations

Stabilized Approach
• The Stabilized VFR Approach– On Glide Path, On Airspeed
• Profile –Approach Segment Airspeeds (Vref)– Downwind– Base– Final– Short Final

V-Ref – Approach Speeds
• Vref = Landing Reference Speed at a point 50 feet above the landing threshold.
• It is not less than 1.3 times the stall speed in the normal landing configuration.
In simple terms.... your final approach speed.

V-Ref – Approach Speeds• FAR Part 23
– Single engine and Multi Engine < 6000 lbs stall speed =61 kias• Vref=1.3 VSo• 1.3 x 61= 79.3 kias
• C-172 Vso=51• Vref (1.3x51) =66.3
• PA-32 Vso=58• Vref (1.3*58) =75.4
• Meaning-The last 500 ft of descent should approx. 70 Kias.

Stabilized Approach
• Do not change flap position after crossing the Final Approach Fix until the runway is in sight and landing is assured.
• If the requirements for landing from instrument conditions are not met, a missed approach must be executed.

Landing - Common Errors
Un-stabilized approach.Failure to allow enough room on final to
set up the approach, necessitating an overly steep approach and high sink rate.
Too low on approach resulting in possibly landing short.
Too low an airspeed on final resulting in inability to flare properly and landing hard. FAA-H-8083-3A Airplane Flying
Handbook
December 6, 2008 26 26Federal AviationAdministration
Tampa FloridaMay 07, 2011
Landing - Common Errors(continued)
Too high an airspeed resulting in floating on round out.
Prematurely reducing power to idle on round out resulting in hard landing.
Touchdown with excessive airspeed.Excessive and/or unnecessary braking
after touchdown.Failure to maintain directional control.

What about the Crosswind???
• Technique?– Whether “kick or crab”,
proper runway alignment must be maintained!!!
– Upwind wing lowered and runway center line alignment maintained using proper control inputs for the crosswind conditions
– REMEMBER…

Crosswind LandingsCommon Errors
Unstabilized approach.
Attempting to land in crosswinds that exceed the airplane’s maximum demonstrated crosswind component.
Inadequate compensation for wind drift on the turn from base leg to final approach, resulting in undershooting or overshooting.
Inadequate compensation for wind drift on final approach.

Crosswind LandingsCommon Errors
Failure to compensate for increased drag during sideslip resulting in excessive sink rate and/or too low an airspeed.
Touchdown while drifting.
Excessive airspeed on touchdown resulting in loss of control or excessive braking.
Failure to apply appropriate flight control inputs during rollout.

Go Around Common Errors
Pitch attitude increased excessively resulting in a stall
Applying only partial power
Failure to reconfigure the aircraft (gear and Flaps) for climb
Retracting the flaps too quickly
Elevator trim (excessive forward pressures)

Approach and Landing Accidents
LESSONS LEARNED• A current pilot and an airworthy aircraft can
get into trouble.• The importance of preflight planning and
preparation.• Night operations require extra planning.• Understand flap configurations.• Manage Your Focus of Attention.• Always fly the aircraft!

Approach and Landing Accidents
TRAINING SUGGESTIONS• Situational Awareness – Contingency plan
for every takeoff and landing.• “Brief” the landing/go-around procedure,
including flaps and airspeeds.• Review Graphs and Tables in the POH.• Teaching the Stabilized Approach - Profile• Practice emergency/evacuation procedures.
