Nose Drop News Today

Airport in new jersey. once it departs, the flight takes only an hour to buffalo. but three miles from the runway, the captain runs into problems. >> the speed was a little higher than he anticipated and he made an adjustment. and what he did was reduced the power and then he extended the landing gear which adds a lot of drag. the speed decreased fairly rapidly to the point that a warning device in the airplane activated. >> the warning system seems to take the captain by surprise. it should be ...

Angle of bank, then only half of it can be counteracting the lift. so that the greater the bank angle, the less available lift there is to counteract gravity, which makes it harder to maintain altitude. >> something was changing too rapidly for the radar data to keep up with it. from 9,000 feet, i saw one more hit at 1,000 feet. now, thats bad. thats real bad. thats a rate of descent like a fighter jet. thats 8,000 feet a minute which is screaming down. >> when that nose drop occurred, i realize...

Storms delay flight 3407 for twç hours at newark international airport in new jersey. once it departs the flight takes only an hour to buffalo. but three miles from the runway, the captain runs into problems. >> the speed was a little higher than he anticipated and he made an adjustment. what he did was reduced the power and extended the landing gear which adds a drag. the speed decreased fairly rapidly to the point that a warning device in the airplane activated -- >> the warning system seems ...

Enough lift, causing the plane ç to lose altitude. >> if the wings are level then 100% of the lift is counteracting gravity. when you have a 45-degree angle of bank, then only half of it can be counteracting the lift. so the greater the bank angle the less available lift there is to counteract gravity, which makes it harder to maintain altitude. >> something was changing too rapidly for the radar data to keep up with it. from 9,000 feet i saw one more hit at 1,000 feet. now thats bad. thats rea...

The speed decreased fairly rapidly to the point that a warning device this the airplane activated -- >> the warning system seems to take the captain by surprise. it should be a fairly simple correction to get the planes speed back up. >> instead of letting the airplanes nose drop to build up the air speed, he gave it full power. he lifted the nose up. he should have done the exact opposite thing. >> planes generally fly at a slight nose up angle. this makes air move faster over the top of the wi...
