My Worst Landing Ever
Aviation is a good school of life, particularly when it comes to learning humility. I’ve no reason to be proud of what I will relate in this post: my worst landing ever !
It all started with an ILS approach to runway 09 in a Bonanza. The needles were well centered and quite stable. Everything was looking fine, and I was relatively relaxed. The wind was blowing from my left, and the correction angle I was applying worked fine.
The descent was smooth, no turbulence despite the wind. While flying down an ILS, the wind speed normally decrease, and the pilot reduces the correction angle to keep the localizer needle centered. But an excellent meteorolgy teacher told me once, all rules but one in meteorology have exceptions (i.e. pressure always decrease when altitude increase)… (more…)
If you enjoyed this post, don't keep it secret !
