So I was wondering if there was special certification for St. Barth (there is and it expires after a year unless I'm mis-reading) but they also have a procedure for landing on RWY28  quote:Going around is prohibited in short final. also under hazards: quote:RWY 28:

I'm bad at recognizing specific models, but that looks a bit like a Piper Seneca. AOPA tells us that a Seneca's landing distance over a 50' obstacle is 2,180'. Saint Barth's airport has a runway length of 2,133'.

His flaps were still down. That's a great way to increase your braking distance, guy! a patagonian cavy posted:I'm bad at recognizing specific models, but that looks a bit like a Piper Seneca. AOPA tells us that a Seneca's landing distance over a 50' obstacle is 2,180'. There's no 50' obstacle at the threshold. It's a steep approach on short final, to be sure, but the POH claims a ground roll of 1100' so you should be okay if you touch down at the midpoint of the runway and use maximum effort braking. Difficult, but not impossible. However, if you're high and/or fast on the approach, you're totally hosed.

If he put it down on the touchdown markers, he would have had to use his brakes up, but he would have been fine. He didn’t plant it until somewhere between midfield, and the OPPOSITE END touchdown markers. He was high AND fast. Whoops.

Yeah, I meant to say "if he had touched down by midfield", not "at". You'd definitely want to touch down ASAP on that runway.

The only thing that shook my faith that it was definitely an abort was the video title. Yikes.

I wonder if anyone's done the statistics on how many incidents they could prevent by approaching over the water vs. how many incidents that would create when they pancaked into the hill in a go-around.

I dunno if I am late to the party on this, but there is a TON of weird experimental stuff here I had never seen or heard of, with well written medium-sized articles with pictures on them. https://oldmachinepress.com/ I hesitate to even point out favorites, because everything I've clicked was good.

I’m mildly fascinated by historical air charts and similar. Has anyone seen any cold war approach charts for Berlin’s airports? Also, if anyone has or has seen the North Korea AIP, lemme know!

hobbesmaster posted:When did you stop needing to know Morse code to fly instrument approaches? Technically that requirement hasn't stopped. You are expected to listen to the station ident any time you tune a new navigation aid, even for things like ILSes. And on something like an NDB approach, which are still out there in places like the Canadian high arctic (but getting to be kind of rare now), you need to listen to the ident the whole time you're flying the approach. This will likely go by the wayside at some point as most non-precision and precision approaches are replaced by GPS based approaches and all of their other related approach types.

MrChips posted:Technically that requirement hasn't stopped. You are required to ID the station but not to to know Morse. The dots and dashes are printed by the frequency and identifier on the chart. Also EFIS (glass cockpit) systems listen to the Morse for you and display the identifier. This is approved to use.

They barely even teach NDB approaches any more. I know how to fly one, and I’ve flown exactly one in an actual airplane, but there was certainly more focus on practicing ILS and RNAV approaches since that’s what you’ll get on the flight test. No way I’d fly single-pilot into a place with only an NDB approach at this point (or single-pilot IFR at all, really).

At no point in my instrument training have I been asked to fly an NDB approach, and I've never flown an aircraft with an operating ADF. I'm gonna fly some approaches in the sim in advance of my CFI-I checkride (one week from today!) but unless my DPE is feeling very spicy, I doubt I'll be asked about NDBs at all other than basic orientation and navigation.
